4 FAQs about Australian Communication Power Cabinet IP55 vs Sodium Sulfur Battery

Are sodium-sulfur batteries a good choice for grid-supportive services?

Sodium–sulfur batteries offer long battery lifetime (up to 15 years) and a claimed response time of 1 ms, which turn them into an attractive candidate for short-term grid-supportive services (Vassallo, 2015; Breeze, 2018).

What is the difference between IP55 & IP65 rated cabinets?

IP55: Electrical panels in non-sterile hospital zones where periodic sanitization occurs. IP65+: Laboratories, operating rooms with frequent disinfection procedures. Our stainless-steel IP-rated cabinets comply with hygiene-critical applications, ensuring cleanability and resistance to medical-grade cleaners.

What is a sodium-sulfur battery?

Sodium-sulfur (NaS) batteries are a promising energy storage technology for a number of applications, particularly those requiring high-power responses [11,21]. It is composed of a sodium-negative electrode, a sulfur cathode, and a beta-alumina solid electrolyte that produces sodium pentasulfide during the discharge reaction .

How long does a sodium sulfur battery last?

Lifetime is claimed to be 15 year or 4500 cycles and the efficiency is around 85%. Sodium sulfur batteries have one of the fastest response times, with a startup speed of 1 ms. The sodium sulfur battery has a high energy density and long cycle life. There are programmes underway to develop lower temperature sodium sulfur batteries.
