Electrical power systems

Electrical energy systems (EES)

Photon has also been building up a product portfolio in the field of 50Hz electrical energy systems for several years.

Power supply stations for freight trains and connection boxes for switch heating and switch drives offer easy-to-install, intelligent product solutions.

Elektrant

The Elektrant1 smart ID-PMT enables user- and consumption-based billing of energy consumption for a user thanks to its RFID access system and electronic active power meter. The data is transmitted to the respective backend system via the integrated LTE antenna.

Double electrant

Thanks to its RFID access system and electronic active power meter, the Elektrant2 smart ID-PMT enables user- and consumption-based billing of energy consumption for two users simultaneously. The data is transmitted to the respective backend system via the integrated LTE antenna.

63A Elektrant

The Elektrant1+ smart ID-PMT is designed as a DB AG service facility for supplying power to traction/rail vehicles.

The Elektrant1+ smart ID-PMT enables user- and consumption-based billing of energy consumption for a user thanks to its RFID access system and electronic active power meter. The data is transmitted to the respective backend system via the integrated LTE antenna.

E-bike charging station

The PAULA e-bike charging station offers the option of charging two e-bikes (Bosch or Shimano) directly via the connection cables, depending on the equipment variant. Two additional light electric vehicles (LEVs) can be charged using an external charger with a maximum of 500 W each via the two grounded sockets. The status of the charging connections is indicated by the corresponding LED status indicators (see section on operation). The readiness of the charging station is indicated by the lighting on the roof.

Contract manufacturing

Development of housings and metal components for charging stations for cars, buses, and e-bikes for the optimal integration of electrical and electronic components, such as:

  • Power supplies
  • Circuit breakers and residual current circuit breakers
  • LCDs
  • Keyboards, buttons, and switches
  • GSM boards
  • Integrated GSM radio antennas
  • RFID components
  • Card readers
  • Control units

We also offer assembly, cabling, and testing for complete electrical enclosures as contract manufacturing.

Junction box SEW95 for electric point heating

The SEW95 cable distributor is used for weatherproof termination and distribution of signal cables with and without induction protection. With IP65 protection, Photon offers a compact, weatherproof small distributor that provides maximum installation flexibility thanks to its optimized housing. The distributor can be connected in series and encapsulated, with factory-prepared cable entries. Depending on requirements, a wide range of models with or without pre-assembled terminal strips and connection options are available. Various installation options in the track bed, for laying in cable ducts or for wall or tunnel mounting cover all location options. Accessories include entry sleeves, earthing rails, earthing bolts, stacking sets, earthing cables, blind flanges, feet, wall brackets, and wall mounting kits.

LHP – the revolution in track field lighting

Illuminated handrails play an important role in track fields, especially in railroad stations or on track systems, and Photon's low-level track field lighting ensures that the areas along the tracks are well illuminated, which reduces the risk of accidents. Light pollution is an important issue. It is excessive or disorganized lighting that illuminates the night sky and can have a negative impact on the environment, wildlife and human health. The consequences of light pollution are manifold: it can disrupt the natural sleep rhythms of humans and animals, impair the orientation of nocturnal animals and even affect the growth of plants.Photon's LHP projects the light specifically and evenly into the area to be illuminated. In contrast to conventional lighting columns, adjacent areas are spared. LEDs are used in the LHP to ensure energy-efficient and long-lasting lighting. Maintenance and cleaning is recommended every two years.
