LARGE NO-BREAK SYSTEM AND EMERGENCY-POWER PLANT INSTALLED AT NETHERLANDS RAILWAY'S COMPUTER CENTRE

The computer center is equipped with an extensive installation for emergency power supply, to satisfy the requirements as regards quality and continuity of the electric energy supply. Two 200-kva parallel-operating Heemaf diesel no-break sets (to be extended to three units) were installed to guarantee pure and uninterrupted power supply to the consumers in the computer room. Also installed were three 400-kva parallel-operating emergency-power generating sets for the power supply to the crucial auxiliary computer equipment during line failure. Normal operation when line voltage is available is discussed, along with emergency operation when line power fails. The return to normal operation when line voltage is available again is also considered.
