Switchgear Redundant DC Battery System
Switchgear Redundant DC Battery System
(OP)
I have a customer wanting a fully redundant battery system, their design is each battery feeds and ATS which then feeds a DC distribution panel out to the switchgear loads. I'm looking for thoughts or white papers on their design vs. paralleling two batteries directly to the DC panel & having each charger connect to a branch circuit in the DC panel.

Why do we get this constant stream of "my customer wants ______, but I want to do ______ instead, how do I talk them into it" questions?
If the customer wants something, why not just provide it? They're the one's paying the bills. If you left something on the table at bid time just suck it up and be a big boy. A contractor's favorite way of doing things is just the contractor's favorite, but it is the owner who gets to make the decisions and they get to have it their favorite way.

The ATS seems to be a common mode problem. However this is distribution so maybe it dosen't matter to them.
