Powering the railways：you need a reliable UPS solution

The development of the railway system has brought convenience to people's lives, and reliable and high-quality power resources are essential for the modern railway system because even minor disturbances in the power supply or quality can create major network disruptions. Network disruptions in the railway system are not just inconvenient; they are also serious threats to health and safety. To avoid power disruption in the rail network, reliable UPS backup power is needed. 

Kstar's railway ups power protection solutions are critically important because the electricity they safeguard not only powers the trains, but many other essential rail applications as well. These ups are designed safely and promptly, and to provide maximum reliability in a way that is energy-efficient and cost-effective. Among which, modular ups is a popular solution.

Because Kstar modular UPS has the following three characteristics, it is suitable for railway industry applications

1. Reliable 

It has N+X parallel redundancy design, where the total load demand is met by all the UPS sharing the load between themselves equally. If one of the UPS fails, the remainder can continue supporting the load, which helps achieve higher availability and MTBF (mean time between failure) lowering the threat of power failure.

2. Easy O&M 

It's hot-swappable so removing or adding modules will not affect the general operation. Additionally，the internal power modules are independently controlled. Therefore, a problem with one of the modules will not affect the operation of the whole machine. While a traditional UPS power supply fails, it must be repaired by professional technicians.

3. Money-Saving 

In the preliminary planning, customers usually underestimate or overestimate the ups capacity. Modular UPS power supplies effectively solve the problem by modular design，allows you to build and invest in stages to reduce the initial purchase cost. You can increase the load & power module as your business grows. With high power density, small size, lightweight, it also has the advantages of convenient transportation, installation, and material saving.
