ABB’s Conceptpower 120 for railway applications
ABB UPS success story Over the 120 years of ABB’s involvement with railways, the complexity of the infrastructure necessary to support rail operations has increased dramatically. Where once manual intervention was used to control points, trackside signals, control center and station operations, electrical and electronic systems now reign supreme. This has the effect of making a modern rail network wholly reliant on a constant supply of clean power. To ensure that power keeps flowing to essential equipment and that passengers are not inconvenienced or cargoes delayed, rail operators will employ an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). ABB has a range of UPS solutions that can be applied to the rail industry. For example, one recent installation in a national rail network emplo
