Effi ciently protecting the
UK’s rail infrastructure The leading European manufacturer of UPS, electrical control and protection systems, Socomec, has developed an advanced critical power solution – the IP+ Rail range – designed specifi cally for the uniquely demanding requirements of rail sector applications. Andrew Wilkinson, regional managing director at Socomec, explains.
T
he specialist Socomec IP+ Rail range represents the very latest
in UPS technology for the mass transportation sector, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of rail networks and infrastructure.
The range – which has been awarded a Product Registration Certifi cate Number (1492) by Transport for London (TfL) London Underground – has been engineered to provide optimum energy effi ciency for high performance critical power applications in the most challenging operating environments.
transport sector: we are committed to
developing complete critical power solutions that not only provide outstanding performance but also deliver exceptional value throughout their lifecycle.
The Socomec Masterys IP+ Rail is housed within a compact, robust steel- framed enclosure – almost twice the thickness of standard UPS cabinets – and has anti-corrosion tropicalised circuit boards. Available with IP31 or IP52 ingress protection, this system will operate in environments where there is conductive dust or dripping water.
STAND: H69
The Socomec Masterys IP+ Rail is the fi rst and only UPS range currently listed on the London Underground (LU) Product Register and to hold ‘authorised for use’ status.
This refl ects the range’s compliance with the demanding LU Section 12 specifi cation as well as with LU1- 085 Fire Safety Performance of Materials and EMC Standards EN 50121-4, EN62040-2 and LUL EMC Standards: 1-222, G-222 and 1-196.
At Socomec we recognised that much of the equipment used in the UK rail sector was at least two generations behind the critical power systems being sold into industrial and data centre applications. We have, therefore, developed a system specifi cally for UK rail and underground applications, using our ruggedised industrial IP+ unit as a platform.
Total cost of ownership is increasingly important in the mass
The electromagnetic disturbance immunity level is double that required by European standards and the internal components meet the strict, low smoke requirements of rail sector customers. Power options range from 10-80 kVA for three-phase models and 10-60 kVA for single- phase models. Specifi cally designed to have a very long MTBF, >202,000 hours, modules can be paralleled up to six units. Furthermore, units can be customised to meet specifi c requirements, including power supplied from the OLI.
With unprecedented numbers choosing to travel by rail, the ongoing performance of the installed systems is vital.
High-quality engineering support is a vital component in any business continuity plan and is, unfortunately, often overlooked until
something
goes wrong. Socomec’s dedicated critical power engineering team ensures business continuity, optimises effi ciency and guarantees the safe performance of UPS and emergency lighting systems in rail applications.
