Making railway stations electrically safe

Safe building technology and reliable power supply systems are required for railway operations. But how is the continued functionality of these systems guaranteed, especially in the event of an electrical fault?

Safe building technology for more satisfied customers 

Today, railway stations serve as multifunctional buildings and are not only stops for trains, but also centres with numerous shops such as supermarkets and restaurants. These must continue to function even in the event of electrical faults in parts of the system in order to ensure the satisfaction and safety of passengers and tenants. A stable power supply is crucial here. 

 

This requirement can be realised by a residual current measuring system (RCMS). Faults and creeping deterioration are recognised even before a normal residual current circuit breaker is switched off. This knowledge advantage enables preventive maintenance measures to be taken, which also prevent the active occurrence of electrical fires. The RCMS also enables maintenance and troubleshooting to be optimised during operation. 

Safety in depots and tunnels

Ensuring electrical safety is not only crucial in depots, but also along railway lines, especially in tunnels.  

Insulation monitoring devices monitor the unearthed power supply in order to increase the availability of the overall system. Comprehensive rescue concepts are essential in tunnels along railway lines. This also includes the installation of hydrants and electrants in the tunnels. These enable the emergency services to access water and electrical power quickly and safely.
