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 come in two designs; those that are single conversions and the more advanced double conversion ones. Single conversion devices were created with the intention of making them produce sine waves and also support the primary power generator. Incandescent lamps, which do not work on other models, work on this model, and parallel connections are also possible. Due to the way it was designed, there is no need of using bulky batteries.

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 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 machine has modules for managing power. The elementary module has a by-pass attached on it. This by-pass has the duty of maintaining this device. It also aids disconnection and removal of the module with ease. There is a better design of this equipment which is normally programmed to shift the UPS from the supporting generator back to the primary source of power in case power comes back. It also has a by-pass that performs the same duties it does in the first design.

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.

Lead-acid back up batteries are also fitted into the machine. They are made with special epoxies that eliminate leakages. The life-span of these batteries is normally ten years. Designers of these items always use very advanced techniques in making them give out high rates and power over a short time.
