Today’s offices and apartments can no longer be imagined without an elevator. In apartments with more than 4 floors, it is mandatory to install an elevator. These days, power outages have created problems for citizens, especially those who use elevators. Being stuck in an elevator is certainly a terrifying experience.

But the most important thing when you’re stuck in an elevator is to stay calm. The main issue regarding the use of the elevator in the event of a sudden and unexpected power outage is that today many buildings have advanced equipment and the elevators are equipped with a system called emergency power, which in this article we will review this system.

How the elevator emergency power works

Most of the elevators are currently equipped with an emergency power system, which is activated in case of power failure and guides the elevator cabin to the lowest or highest floor.

The installation of this part has become one of the main requirements of the elevator that must be taken into account today. Tesla UPS is always ready to serve customers and applicants for the installation and repair of the elevator’s emergency power system.

elevator emergency battery

The elevator emergency battery system works in such a way that in the event of a power failure, it enters the circuit after at least 30 seconds and transfers the elevator to the top floor. The way it works is that after the main and city electricity, when the elevator has a drive, the magnet is opened and the engine of this tool applies pressure to both sides, which is done by the battery power.

UPS for elevators

Since the elevator is a mechanical electronic device, it is directly powered by city electricity, so when the city electricity is cut off, the elevator stops. To solve this problem it is better than elevator UPS to provide the electricity needed to keep the elevator on even during a city power cut. UPS means uninterruptible power supply and its main task is to provide uninterrupted power required by the load. UPS in three types offline, online and Line Interactive are produced and sold.

UPSs for elevators are line interactive UPSs that have an external battery.

UPSs for elevators are produced according to issues such as power outage time, elevator type, elevator motor capacity, elevator location, which is residential or industrial.

Difference between UPS and emergency battery

As mentioned earlier, some elevators have an emergency elevator battery, and some use an elevator UPS, which is an uninterruptible power supply system.

One of the main differences between UPS and emergency elevator batteries is their lifespan. UPS life is 4 to 5 years, but battery backup lasts 1 to 2 years. You can choose one of these elevator emergency power systems depending on your choice.

Since the most demand for purchase and use of elevator UPS emergency power, we will continue to review UPS for elevators.

How the elevator UPS works

When the city electricity, which is the main source of the elevator, is cut off, the UPS battery is automatically connected and starts feeding the devices connected to the UPS until the power is connected and the devices start working. . The duration of connecting the UPS to the battery during a power outage is about a few milliseconds.

Important points that you should pay attention to when installing an elevator UPS.

• When the elevator receives the electricity it needs during a power outage by a UPS, a light must be installed inside the elevator room to indicate that the UPS is supplying the electricity it consumes.
• The UPS device cannot be used in green type elevators because the current that returns from the elevator will damage the UPS.
• Note that the operation of the UPS is confirmed by the elevator inspector as this is very necessary.
• One of the duties of the elevator UPS is to supply the flow of the fans to prevent the temperature from rising, in addition to the required supplies of the elevator.
