Applications for Rail & Transport
Rail
The DC battery tripping unit is a vital component in rail applications, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the electrical system. Our DC tripping units are PADS approved.
Metro
The DC system is the backbone of a high-voltage industrial/utility substation. Our industrial chargers maintain the health of the DC system by providing a steady charge to batteries, which serve as backup power sources. Given the critical nature of the system, redundancy can be provided with a dual charger configuration.
Road Infrastructure
Ensuring the safety of drivers, our DC switch tripper units and intertrippers provide the essential DC power allowing the substation to continue to operate even during power outages.
Airports
DC systems are the backbone of a substation, ensuring that essential electrical systems within the substation continue to operate even during power outages. PB Design have been providing UK airports with essential DC power.
Services
PB Design offer a range of pre and post sale services including design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and battery replacements.
Our Clients
From national requirements to individual needs, we have successfully completed many projects in a wide range of applications and environments.
