Components Of Good Traffic Signal Ups

By Marci Glover


Power is always very unpredictable. Sometimes, it just disappears unpredictably. Whenever such occurs, the most troubled areas are roads that are not fitted with traffic signal UPS. Confusion takes center stage in these places and many lives are likely to be lost. These are, therefore, the areas that need these traffic control machines the most if human life is to be protected.

These machines are usually of two types; single conversion and double conversion. The single conversion device is designed with the sole aim of providing pure sine waves and sufficient power back up for the now complex traffic control system. It is designed in a way such that, incandescent lamps can still be used with it. Furthermore, it allows parallel connection of batteries and eliminates the need for heavy batteries connected in series.

The features of this machine are; more than 8 hours running time, self-sufficient alarm system, programmed LCD display and event counter, a flash timer that is adjustable, optional automatic transfer button for generator, capability to use any type of deep cycle batteries, Ethernet capability and lightning and surge protection device.

The double conversion one is a series of devices made with the objective of handling the most demanding road connections. This machine comes in three different sizes, 700 W, 1400 W and 1100 W. The three provide sign waves that are seamless all the time. In addition, they have a continuous online make that gives total power conditioning, surge and spike protection and filtering.

The components of this appliance include; an all-operations LCD display, an alarm network that allows monitoring the machine remotely and a continuous Ethernet capacity. The device has the ability to run for 8 hours and more, and has a timer which can be manipulated. It is also not restrictive on the batteries to be used, and is compatible with generators. It is always fitted with an automatic transfer button.

The elementary module for power management in the machine is attached to a by-pass for maintenance wrapped on it. This by-pass is for enabling removal and replacement of the original module without disrupting the machine. A more advanced version of this equipment can be programmed to move the operation of the UPS back to the utility generator from the auxiliary generator when the former returns. This device also has a by-pass wrapped on it to do the same job it does in the earlier make.

The function of cabinets in these machines is solely protection. Cabinets keep the inner fragile equipments protected from hostile factors in the surrounding. The materials used for making these cabinets are always strong metallic alloys. The most commonly used metals are stainless steel and aluminum, owing to their rigidity and inability to be corroded. The cabinets have fans which are regulated by thermostats. They also have a three-pointer latching systems, many options for mounting, allowance for optional power generators and doors with hinges that look like pianos.

This machine is usually fitted with backup batteries. The models used are mostly lead-acid ones fitted with special epoxy to eliminate leakages. They are normally designed to last for ten years. Manufacturers use an advanced technology to provide high rates and short-term power.
