Last week, a Falcon Electric team member shared an Intelligent Traffic System customer’s experience of solving power problems in outdoor conditions that were severe – including high temperature and a hurricane. The solution was Falcon’s Outdoor UPS System with an SSG Industrial UPS with extended battery runtime for many hours.
Here’s a summary:
- A major toll road/freeway system had 22 line-interactive* UPSs installed on the toll gantries. The goal was to provide reliable power for the ITS, including cameras, security systems, etc.
- Due to the heat and outdoor location, these UPSs failed, causing many costly repairs, replacements, toll revenue loss and freeway shutdown during repairs.
- 22 of Falcon’s Outdoor UPS Systems (online UPS type) were installed 3 years ago with no failures.
- Even when a major hurricane devastated the toll road and knocked down the 28-foot tall gantries, the Falcon UPSs still worked once the gantries were put back upright!
