Any number of
secondary sockets may connected parallel, but the number tele-
phones which may connected any one time restricted.3). rapid charge discharge encourages the plates to
buckle, and may cause permanent damage.
Maintenance lead-acid batteries
● The plates the battery must always covered the dilute sulph-
uric acid. Therefore, battery will provide a
steady current for 10h.
On new premises the electrical contractor may install sockets and the asso-
ciated wiring the point intended line entry, but the connection the
incoming line the installed master socket must only made the tele-
phone company’s engineer. The sepa-
rators are made porous insulating material, such wood ebonite,
and the whole assembly immersed dilute sulphuric acid solution in
a plastic container.62.6. The plates are
assembled groups, with insulating separators between them. 14.

A lead-acid battery constructed lead plates which are deeply ribbed

● The room used charge battery must well ventilated because
the charged cell gives off hydrogen and oxygen, which are explosive
in the correct proportions (IEE Regulation 560.

The capacity cell store charge measure the total quantity of
electricity which can cause displaced around circuit after being

On existing installations, additional secondary sockets may installed to
