Critical Infrastructure

Protection, identification and management of electrical power risks are of primary concern to any company associated with critical infrastructure. Any point of single failure brings about large consequences at the operational level. Securing essential services is a unique challenge for organisations responsible for operational continuity.

Hospitals, Water Treatment, Emergency Services, Hotels, Banking and Finance, Malls, Airports, Public service buildings all depend on electricity for basic needs such as food, water, shelter, communication, employment and healthcare. In any of these there are many critical situations. For example, an extended interruption of telephone and communications services during a major disaster, whether it is a terrorist attack or a natural disaster, may put lives in danger if the public is unable to call 911, or if other emergency communications are disrupted.

This is not the place to save money on providing quality power with back up, these industries need top quality products with fail safe systems.

Redundant Charging System for runway lighting

A typical but essential application is Emergency Lighting, even more important when we are talking about Airports. Air traffic control, navigation and landing aids.

One of the landing aids, the Approach Lights System (ALS), is designed to guide aircraft approaching a runway under nighttime or other low-visibility conditions.

A digital V/I meter monitors the output of the charger and the charger has a 32A 1P Output MCB to protect the load. The charger also has a LVD in the form of a relay that is externally controlled by the control unit. A P50S/1 blocking diode in the charger is fed externally from the control unit.
