Explosion-proof distributed energy storage device

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) represent a significant component supporting the shift towards a more sustainable and green energy future for the planet. BESS units can be employed in a variety of situations, ranging from temporary, standby and off-grid applications to larger, fixed installations.

What are the different types of explosion protection?

Options range from Ex d (flameproof enclosure) to Ex e (increased safety) and Ex i (intrinsically safe) right through to Ex p (pressurized housing), as well as combinations of different explosion-protection types – always bearing in mind the most efficient solution for your application.

What are the risks of a battery explosion?

Where can I find information about Bess explosion protection?

To learn more about BESS explosion protection, or to find your local IEP sales, service, and support center, visit or contact +1 855-793-8407. Concerned about your explosion risk?

What causes fire & explosion inside a Bess enclosure?

The leading cause of fire and explosion inside a BESS enclosures is the release and ignition of combustible vapors from an overheating battery.

What if a vent panel is actuated in a deflagration or explosion?

come projectiles in the event of a deflagration or explosion. The angle of vent panel openings upon actuation also need to be considered, as different angles allow more or less oxygen to enter the enclosure while still retaining the flammable gas and heat within,
