From small transportation hubs to intentional airports, shipping terminals and everything in between – UPS systems for transportation

Whether it be a small railway hub, an international airport or a shipping terminal, we know that the need for reliable and uninterrupted power is required 24/7.
The transportation industry is vast, with each application presenting their own unique challenges. These range from varying levels of resilience and elevated levels of vibration to ruggedised enclosures, enhanced electrical hazard protection and stringent regulations.
Working on a regular basis with businesses who have experienced first-hand the effect power fluctuations or failures have on the sensitive equipment is the reason Power Control supply reliable industrial UPS systems. We also understand there may be restricted space available for installing uninterruptible power supplies, so if an ‘off the shelf’ solution is not suitable, we offer the ability to customise the units to meet the most exacting specifications.
Typical modification requests include:
- Case IP-ratings, including bypass switch housing
- Unit size modifications
- Battery design life and ratings
- Marine and off-shire case designs
- Internal wiring and fan filter locations
- Front and top access
"Not only has Power Control been instrumental in the initial scoping of our requirements but the team’s professionalism throughout the installation has been exceptional. They had extremely strict parameters to work within, which required expert coordination between site engineers and team project managers to ensure a seamless transfer, with limited disruption to the airport and passengers."
