C&D RDB & RDC Rack Features & Benefits:

C&D Technologies RDB and RDC racks offer a variety of quality and value-added features. Most notably, both rack series take advantage of a “common-frame” design among the Standard, EP1, and EP2 series for all but the RDC 3 Tier EP2 rack. This allows the racks to be field upgradeable by simply installing additional bracing, while not having to remove any batteries! Additionally, the racks use a “C-Channel” frame cross-section that is more robust than competitive designs. The RDB EP racks are qualified to meet UBC 1994 Section 1630 seismic loading conditions. The RDC EP racks are qualified to IBC 2009 Section 1613. Other features, such as built-in grounding provisions, are listed below. 

RDB 693 racks are qualified to IEEE 693-2005. C&D strives to be the leader in supplying the best quality racks to support its highly regarded flooded product line. The RDB and RDC racks offer a range of quality features while maintaining a competitive price structure.
