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.

There are two types of this equipment. The first is made up of a single conversion device while the other one has a double conversion one. The first one is made with the purpose of emitting only sine waves and enough backup for the utility power. This model allows usage of incandescent lamps. It is also possible to connect batteries in parallel. Furthermore, the device makes it unnecessary to use bulky batteries, all in series.

This machine runs for a minimum of 8 hours, has an all-inclusive alarm system, an LCD display that is programmed, an event counter, an adjustable flash timer, a non-compulsory automatic transfer switch to generator, ability to operate using any type of batteries, surge and lighting protection device and Ethernet capability.

The second version; double conversion, is of different models. It was manufactured with the goal of helping attend to the complex and demanding traffic. There are three different sizes of this device; 1400 W, 1100 W and 700 W. All these equipments produce seamless sine waves throughout. An online design provides absolute conditioning of power, filtering and spike and surge protection.

The features of this device include; an LCD display for all operations, progressive Ethernet capability and an alarm system which makes it possible for remote monitoring. In addition to these, the device runs for 8 hours, and contains a time meter that is adjustable and has the capability of utilizing any make of batteries. The device is also compatible with generators and has a transfer switch that is automatic.

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.

They have backup batteries, mostly lead-acid ones. These batteries have specially designed epoxies for eliminating leakages. They usually have a life-span of ten years, and manufacturers apply high level technology in giving out high rates and power in a short period.
