12.What is the key follow-up procedure after wiring Gotion ESS cabinet?
After completing all wiring (ground wire, power line, communication line), it is recommended to use putty to seal all cable outlet holes and gaps to prevent insects from entering the cabinet and affecting the internal equipment.
13.What core checks are required before power-on for Gotion C&I energy storage cabinet?
The pre-power-on check covers 6 key aspects in strict accordance with the manual:
①Equipment exterior: No damage/rust/paint peeling, clear labels/nameplates, normal hatch/door lock, intact firefighting equipment
②Equipment components: Firmly fixed aerosol, detector, PCS, liquid cooler, battery pack and other core parts
③Maintenance channel: Meet the width requirements of different layout modes
④Switches: All switches are in the off position
⑤Cables: Intact insulation, clear color marking, functional cable duct/retaining ring, flame-retardant material
⑥Cable connection/routing: Firm terminal connection, clear double-end labels, neat arrangement (no crossover), strong and weak current separation, no strained cables at corners
14.What safety precautions should be taken during the power-on of Gotion ESS cabinet?
Three core safety precautions for power-on:
①Wear insulated gloves and use insulated tools to prevent electric shock and short circuit
②Real-time monitor the system for faults during the power-on process; power off immediately to rectify faults if found
③Avoid battery over-discharge: Charge promptly if batteries are fully/over-discharged during commissioning.
15.How to connect the battery pack cables of Gotion C&I energy storage cabinet before power-on?
The battery pack power supply series line is disconnected during shipment, and the connection steps are: remove the protective cap of the terminal → press the terminal until a click sound is heard to complete the reliable connection.
16.What is the AC side power-on process reminder for Gotion ESS cabinet?
During the AC side power-on, strictly follow the manual steps and real-time monitor the system status; if any abnormal fault code or equipment operation is found, cut off the AC side power immediately, troubleshoot the problem completely, and then resume the power-on process.
17.What storage and use requirements are there for Gotion ESS cabinet batteries with low SOC?
①Storing batteries with low SOC may cause over-discharge damage, so prompt charging is required to maintain the normal SOC of the battery pack
②If the ESS cabinet is not used for 6 months or longer after installation, it must be inspected and tested by professional technicians before restarting operation.
18.What core functional components are included in Gotion integrated C&I energy storage cabinet?
The cabinet is fully integrated with core functional components for industrial use: lithium-ion detector, smoke sensing, lithium-ion converter, dehumidifier, aerosol fire extinguishing device, control box, battery pack, liquid cooler, PCS, power grid breaker, air circuit breaker, surge protective device, terminal blocks.
19.What is the role of the liquid cooler in Gotion C&I energy storage cabinet?
The liquid cooler is the core temperature control component of the integrated energy storage cabinet, responsible for real-time cooling and temperature regulation of the internal battery pack, PCS and other heat-generating components, ensuring the cabinet operates within the safe temperature range.
20.What is the function of the aerosol device in Gotion ESS cabinet?
The aerosol device is the built-in core firefighting equipment of the cabinet, which is firmly fixed and equipped with a detonator; it can quickly trigger fire extinguishing in case of fire (such as battery thermal runaway) inside the cabinet to prevent the fire from spreading.
