Industrial UPS for Rail, Metro and Airport Systems

Signalling, passenger information, ticketing and control centres must keep running when the supply fails. We supply industrial, modular and central battery systems for stations, depots and terminals.

Three-phase UPS installation in an equipment room for a transport facility

What goes wrong

Typical power problems on these sites.

Service disruption

Power loss to signalling or control systems halts trains and strands passengers.

Traction supply noise

Traction power and large loads disturb the auxiliary supply that station systems share.

Evacuation lighting

Stations and terminals need emergency lighting powered for the full evacuation period.

Spread-out equipment

Equipment rooms along a line are hard to inspect without remote monitoring.

What we would propose

Questions

What is a central battery system?

It is a central emergency power supply that feeds emergency and exit lighting from one battery bank, instead of a battery inside each fitting. It makes testing and maintenance simpler in large stations and terminals.

Which UPS type suits signalling rooms?

For noisy auxiliary supplies we recommend a transformer-based industrial UPS with an output isolation transformer. The final choice follows the project specification.

Can you quote a whole line with many stations?

Yes. Send the load schedule per station and we quote a consistent set of UPS and battery systems, with monitoring that reports to one control point.
