Making railway stations electrically safe

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.
