ESS Notes

*702.4 Direction*

  • AHJ Enforcing NEC 702.4 (Optional Standby Systems) for ESS Will require us to only backup essential loads whose total demand does not exceed what the # of Batteries can provide E.g., 1x Tesla PW3 can export 48A, and so the total load demand in backup cannot exceed 48A as shown on planset load calculations (standard and optional acceptable). 
  • Option 1: 702.4(B) EMS or Load Management Hardware Exception can be used in NEC 2020/2023 as to allow maximum capable backup loads (I.E.-SPAN). 
  • Option 2: 220.87(1) Exception: Load Calculation based on Utility Meter Demand Data (Green Button - 15 min Interval over a 30 day period.) 
  • Option 3: Load Calculations via Emporia Energy Monitoring (30 Day Period) 
  • Option 4: Downsize loads
