epic evacuation equipment – e3
Specific auxiliary power supply system for elevators.
It guarantees the necessary time of use of the elevator in the event of a power failure, either for a certain number of hours or trips.
Product details
What It Does
Powers the elevator for an extended number of trips, ensuring the complete evacuation of a building.
The E3 system guarantees the operation of the elevator during multiple trips in case of power failure, allowing the complete evacuation of the building without altering the normal operation of the maneuver. It uses and stores the energy generated by the elevator itself to provide a high-performance auxiliary power supply, without the need for external generators or additional systems.
In addition, the system communicates constantly and easily with the control system to report the state of charge of the batteries, ensuring total control at all times.
- Easy integration with the maneuver
- Valid for both new and existing elevators
- Scalable for any load, installation stroke and rated speed
- Replaces diesel generators and general-use UPS systems
- Optimized solution to adapt to the actual elevator requirements, avoiding oversizing.
- Complies with key standards such as EN81-72, EN81-76 and BS9999 for evacuation and fire protection
- Uses 48 V batteries, economical, easy to replace and very compact in volume, but specific to the evacuation application.
- Recovers the energy generated during elevator operation, extending the autonomy during evacuation
- The batteries are subjected to small, fully automatic daily cycles to ensure proper maintenance, allowing easy monitoring of the batteries.
- Solution adaptable to both machine room and machine roomless elevators
How It Works
High-performance auxiliary power supply for elevators in case of power failure
- The solution uses cost-effective, small-volume 48 V batteries designed specifically for emergency applications. It provides a reliable and easily maintainable backup system to ensure evacuation in any situation.
- Compatible with any new or existing elevator
- In emergencies, the system provides full auxiliary power supply to the switchgear and drive, ensuring a safe and controlled evacuation. It informs the controller of the state of charge of the batteries throughout the process.
