UPS systems make rail networks safer by protecting the power that feeds train signaling operations, level crossings and switches at rail junctions, and supply train control systems and sensors. Either standard UPS products or special engineered solutions such as dual frequency UPS systems can be adopted to meet these application requirements.
UPS power protection enhances rail network traffic control to ensure high reliability and the maximum use of trackway slots, guaranteeing continuous, reliable rail traffic management. UPS systems also protect the emergency and safety systems in train stations, by rail tracks and on board trains, which continually monitor operating conditions in the surrounding environment.
Systems providing fire protection, radio communications, video surveillance and emergency lighting are just some of the safety-relevant, critical low-voltage loads that require uninterrupted power supply. ABB’s standard products are tailor-made for such applications, providing the highest availability and reliability, and a low cost of installation, maintenance and service.
ABB’s power protection systems also support passenger services, such as information panels, ticketing systems, lift systems, lights and auxiliary services for rail personnel.
