The best seismic code or standard may be subjective and depending on the industry, options might be limited. There are many Telecommunication companies that use NEBS and many in the Utility Industry that use IEEE 693 for their seismic standards related to battery racks and cabinets.
5.3 Minimum clearance between seismic racks and any objects (including walls, equipment and other racks) is to be 4 in. (100 mm). NO SEISMIC RACKS ARE TO BE BUTTED TOGETHER END-TO-END OR BACK-TO-BACK. 5.4 Batteries should be installed in a clean, cool and dry environment where there is minimal temperature variation.
Seismic racks also include: side rails, end rails, corner brackets, foam spacers, rail spacers, shims and cell clamp assemblies. The styles of standard racks supplied by EnerSys are shown in Figure 1.1. 2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Assemble racks according to the instructions in this document WITHOUT DEVIATIONS.
Standard racks are supplied with whiz bolts, while seismic racks are supplied with hex bolts, lock washers, flat washers and star washers. NOTE: Shimming between the frame and the side rail may be needed so that the side rail sits as close to the cells as possible without exerting pressure on the jars.
Seismic battery racks use reinforced steel frames, vibration-dampening materials, and bolted anchors to absorb and redistribute seismic forces. Their rigid yet flexible design prevents overturning, sliding, or
