Lead acid Batteries and UPS in nuclear power plants

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on lead acid batteries, particularly GFD types, used in nuclear power plants (NPP), with inquiries about suppliers like Exide and Deka. It highlights that VRLA batteries currently dominate the market, raising questions about their historical use in NPPs. Additionally, the conversation addresses whether battery suppliers also provide uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and identifies leading companies in the UPS market. Exide is confirmed as a supplier, suggesting it may be a reliable resource for further information. The thread seeks to clarify the roles of these companies in the context of nuclear power applications.

I want to learn the GFD lead acid batteries used in NPP. Have Exide and
Deka ever supplied for NPP, or who are the main suppliers in this field?
We know VRLA betteried dominate the market now, but have this type ever been use in NPP?
As for UPS, do bettery suppliers provide UPS together with batteris, and who are the leader companies in UPS market worldwide?
look forword your help, thanks!

I can tell you that Exide has.
 
thanks, maybe i can refer to Exide for help, Exide has many brand for bettery.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
