UPS Solutions for Emergency Lighting and Life Safety Applications
Secure Power can provide solutions for emergency lighting and all life safety equipment
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) solutions are essential to ensure that facilities have enough illumination in the event of any loss of power. UPS systems are widely used to support emergency lighting and other life safety applications including sprinkler systems and evacuation lifts but must comply with BS EN 50171. By law, all life safety systems must be supported by a contiuous emergency power source, where emergency lighing must have at least three hours of backup power. Many facilities opt to include both a UPS system and a central battery system (CBS) to achieve a secondary emergency power supply.
All life safety applications such as emergency lighting and illuminated signs must have a guaranteed power supply in the event of a mains failure. This continuous backup power provision is supplied via a UPS solution, which is required to comply with BS EN 50171. Some environments adopt a Central Power Supply System (CPSS) or CBS to be installed alongside an emergency lighting UPS unit, this must adhere to international safety standard IEC/EN 62040. Emergency lighting UPS solutions have been engineered specifically to manage high inrush currents and include inverters which can handle 120% of the load requirement for the duration.
