RCTerra Class 2.0

RCTerra Class 2.0 261

The current generation cabinet on the 314 Ah cell platform. More energy in the same footprint, eight thousand cycles, and a three stage fire system that starts at the cell.

What the 2.0 platform changes

Five tier protection, not one

Protection is layered at cell level, pack level shutdown, rack level disconnect, PCS isolation and a container level electrical disconnect. A fault at one level does not have to become a fault at the next.

A three stage fire system

Continuous cell level monitoring for early detection, automatic aerosol suppression at the source, and integrated water sprinklers for full compartment protection.

Eight thousand cycles

At least 8,000 cycles to 70 per cent state of health at 25 C. That is the cell rating. The RCT warranty is more conservative and it is the figure to plan against: 80 per cent capacity guaranteed at the end of year five, and 70 per cent at the end of year ten, measured at 6,000 cycles.

Quiet enough to sit near people

Under 70 dB as standard and under 63 dB as an option, with a C4 corrosion grade cabinet and C5 available for coastal and industrial sites.

The RCT Power datasheet as issued. AS 4777.2 and CEC approval on the PCS matter for Australian connection applications, and both are listed.

Scale it in parallel

Multiple 261 cabinets run in parallel for flexible capacity, so the same platform covers a single cabinet site and a megawatt hour site. We size it against your interval data before anyone quotes.
