Electric point and trough heating system

Main features

• A complete system based on many years of construction experience – from the pole-mounted transformer station supplying the power to the heating elements
• Modular design, so it can easily be adapted to stations of any layout
• Meets the current MÁV requirements
• Developed, manufactured and serviced in Hungary

System components

Pole-mounted transformer station

• 25 kV / 231 V transformer with the required power rating (16, 25, 50, 100, 160, 250 kVA)
• Power distribution
• Integrated energy metering with remote reading

Area control cabinet

• Controls the heating of the turnouts in its area, collects and forwards status information
• Modular design
• Universal heating control PLC that receives the values measured by the various sensors and issues the heating command automatically according to a defined algorithm
• Mains voltage monitoring, delayed reconnection
• Monitoring of turnout heating on each side using current sensors
• Connection to the station data transmission system
• Status information passed to the control and indication interface

Control and indication unit

• Mimic panel or PC-based control interface (SCADA), as required by the customer
• Displays the status of the equipment in its area on a graphical interface
• Allows manual intervention
• Exchanges data with the remote monitoring system

Remote monitoring

• PC-based (SCADA) system for remote monitoring (by operators and maintenance staff) of the point heating systems of several stations or line sections
