Tesla Powerwall Emergency Response Guide Contact Tesla for Emergency Response Thermal Run Away is preceded by smoke Fire, Smoke or Odor Emanating from Powerwall: 1. Sign located main electrical power source, announce to incoming units 2. SCBA and PPE 3. Shut Down Unit 4. Evacuate 5. Contact Tesla 6. Powerwall Fire use wide fog to cool casing and protect from extension Fire Extinguished Use TIC to check Temp., if elevated continue cooling with low volume fog 15mins reevaluate Stable if no temp elevation for 45mins 7. Contact Tesla Shutting Down Does not de-energize battery Do not open unit if smoke or re present Stay out of water during ooding Switches and Breakers Solar - shut down Ac inverter Use Estop Shut down each unit - switch on side 1/3 from top Shut down AC breakers to units Unsafe to Shut Down Switches and Breakers Remove low voltage clip at meter (remove screws) or cut cable fl fi Tesla Lithium Ion Battery Response Guide Single cell thermal run away will not involve other cells, large res are caused by an external event Directing water, using suppression systems or metal re suppressants on the thermal run away cell only delays process Directing water onto burning enclosure may cause electrolysis (splitting oxygen and hydrogen) increasing ammable gases Smoke or Fire from Powerpack/ Megapack System 1. Shutdown 2. Evacuate 3. Contact Tesla Do not approach front, touch or open door Megapack has vent in roof for smoke and ames Defensive Operations Protect exposures Cool adjacent batteries Full PPE - extremely toxic gases Battery Fires may take several - 24 hrs Allow battery to completely consume itself and cool mass after Exothermic reactions cause are ups if battery has not completely consumed itself Use TIC to measure temp. After re and smoke stop fl fi fl fl fi fi
