About Energy storage cabinets should be installed at a safe distance from important equipment
In Section 15.5 of NFPA 855, we learn that individual ESS units shall be separated from each other by a minimum of three feet unless smaller separation distances are documented to be adequate and approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) based on large-scale fire testing.
At SolarGrid Energy Solutions, we specialize in comprehensive solar microgrid systems including household hybrid power generation, industrial and commercial energy storage solutions, advanced battery storage systems, and intelligent energy management controllers.

6 FAQs about [Energy storage cabinets should be installed at a safe distance from important equipment]
Are energy storage systems safe?
The emergence of energy storage systems (ESSs), due to production from alternative energies such as wind and solar installations, has driven the need for installation requirements within the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the safe installation of these energy storage systems.
What is required working space in and around the energy storage system?
The required working spaces in and around the energy storage system must also comply with 110.26. Working space is measured from the edge of the ESS modules, battery cabinets, racks, or trays.
How far apart should storage units be positioned?
Therefore, if you install multiple storage units, you have to space them three feet apart unless the manufacturer has already done large-scale fire testing and can prove closer spacing will not cause fire to propagate between adjacent units.
How far should ESS units be separated from each other?
In Section 15.5 of NFPA 855, we learn that individual ESS units shall be separated from each other by a minimum of three feet, unless smaller separation distances are documented to be adequate and approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) based on large-scale fire testing.
Do electric energy storage systems need to be tested?
It is recognized that electric energy storage equipment or systems can be a single device providing all required functions or an assembly of components, each having limited functions. Components having limited functions shall be tested for those functions in accordance with this standard.
How much energy can a ESS unit store?
Individual ESS units shall have a maximum stored energy of 20 kWh per NFPA Section 15.7. NFPA 855 clearly tells us each unit can be up to 20 kWh, but how much overall storage can you put in your installation? That depends on where you put it and is defined in Section 15.7.1 of NFPA 855.
