Emergency Lighting Central Battery Systems

ESSENTIAL, INSTANT, RELIABLE POWER Emergency lighting plays an essential role in all public buildings and workspaces. In the event of a power failure, the emergency lighting central battery system switches over to battery power. Not only must the lighting be restored seamlessly, but the emergency system must also be able to maintain an acceptable lux level (brightness) for long enough to allow people to leave the premises safely. In most cases this is likely to be either one hour or three hours. Under UK law, there is an obligation for public buildings to be equipped with emergency lighting. Powervamp’s...

EMERGENCY LIGHTING CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEMS Effekta systems in high-risk task areas For areas which are considered high risk, the required light levels are significantly higher than for general emergency lighting. This is difficult to achieve using self-contained light fittings as the light output is reduced when in battery mode (power failure). An Effekta central battery system will maintain light levels at maximum brightness during a mains failure, reducing the number of fittings required for these areas. Effekta systems and ATEX Emergency lighting is a requirement in areas where there is a...

The Effekta range Powervamp’s Effekta Range of emergency lighting power systems are typically supplied with AC (alternating current) output, this type of central battery system is often referred to a static inverter. Powervamp also offer systems with DC (direct current) output for legacy system replacement. THE RANGE INCLUDES l EF 5 ELI range Single Phase 150 – 1500 VA l EF 20 ELI Single Phase 1.5 – 30.0 kVA l EF 33 ELI range Three Phase 5.0 – 100.0 kVA l EF 20 CBS range AC/DC 1.5 – 10 kVA central battery system COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS l Changeover relays l Hold off relays l Sub-circuit monitoring...

EF 20 ELI range SINGLE PHASE 1.5 - 30.0 KVA EF 33 ELI range THREE PHASE 5.0 - 100.0 KVA The Effekta EF 20 ELI offers single or optional three-phase input with single-phase output. The Effekta EF 33 ELI offers three-phase input with true three-phase output. Systems can be configured as either passive or active standby and with contactor or static switch changeover (suitable for discharge lamps). In addition, high fault clearance can be achieved by configuring the output stage to suit the required fault current. With smaller systems, the batteries are housed within the system enclosure with separate...
