Battery Chargers A75R SCR Charging Technology The La Marche A75R Railroad Battery Charger uses proven Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) charging technology with extensive surge and lightning protection, a rich feature set, and a very conservative thermal design. The A75R is available in several configurations and is developed specifically for use in harsh railroad signaling, highway crossing, and communications environments. RHF High-Frequency Charging Technology The La Marche RHF Railroad Battery Charger features a high-frequency design and unique communication capabilities. Compared to traditional SCR railroad battery chargers, high-frequency designs like the RHF improve operational efficiencies & power factor and feature a significantly reduced footprint. The RHF is available in several configurations and is developed specifically for demanding railroad signaling and highway crossing applications where space is at a premium. Telecom Power Systems DC Power Supplies, Rack Mount Systems LTP Low Power (Rectifiers up to 1.44kW) The La Marche LTP is a hybrid AC & DC system; it accommodates rectifiers and inverter modules in one system. The LTP system operates as an independent power supply (battery eliminator) and is suitable for charging many types of batteries. TPM Medium Power (Rectifiers 4.5kW per shelf) The La Marche TPM high-frequency switchmode rectifiers provide a high power density solution in DC systems and operate as independent power supplies. LMHF High Power (Rectifiers 24kW per shelf) The La Marche LMHF high-frequency DC system is a highly compact self-contained power system. The current limiting circuitry, voltage regulation, high efficiency and high power factor make the LMHF an ideal choice where power requirements are critical.
Solar Power Systems Solar (Photovoltaic) Power Systems provide a reliable and proven source of DC power. Solar (PV) Systems are a perfect fit for railroad wayside applications because they require very little maintenance, have a 20+ year lifespan and require no ongoing fueling. RP Series Retractable Mast Safe and convenient solution for mounting solar arrays to a pole structure at ground level. Solar arrays can be raised and lowered along the same axis manually (hand-crank) or via a power drill for periodic maintenance, troubleshooting and equipment replacement. Fixed Pole Solar Cost-effective solution for mounting solar arrays to an aluminum fixed pole structure. Fixed pole systems can be equipped with an optional ladder (w/lockable guard) to facilitate periodic maintenance and troubleshooting. RP Series Retractable Mast PV PowerStation The innovative PV PowerStation is a completely integrated system combining a solar array, charging and monitoring equipment, batteries, battery box, ballast and adjustable leveling supports. It s flexible design makes it a good candidate for wayside applications where space is at a premium or a pole structure to clear nearby obstructions is not necessary (ex: deserts, coastal areas, etc.). Ground Mount Flexible and scalable solar mounting solution when and where space permits. Good fit for wayside applications with very little trees or other obstructions (ex: deserts, coastal areas, etc.). PV PowerStation Roof Mount Mounting solution utilizing often unused real estate. Good fit for wayside applications with limited space; solar system is mounted to roof of site bungalow/equipment house. System Components Balance of system components including batteries, controllers/regulators, battery boxes, inverters/converters, relay drivers, and power conditioning equipment completes our systems.

Fuel Cells Fuel cells are solid state DC generators that convert chemical energy into electricity. Fuel Cells are clean, reliable, quiet and have been deployed as extended backup power protection for a variety of critical infrastructure applications including wayside applications. Fuel cells are a great alternative to noisy, maintenance intensive diesel/gas generators. Ultra-USSI 250W Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Ultra-USSI s P250i solid oxide, propane or natural gas powered fuel cells provide weeks of reliable, clean, extended backup power protection for highway crossings, signals and other equipment along the wayside, ensuring that critical equipment and trains operate without interruption. The P250i integrates seemlessly with the utility grid, batteries, generators, solar and wind. Its robust design allows it to reliably operate in virtually any climate (-40 F to 122 F). How It Works? The P250i is designed to work with existing power infrastructure. Powered by readily available and low cost propane or natural gas, the P250i has the ability to sit in standby mode for months to years at a time monitoring battery voltage and automatically start when batteries dip below a pre-determined threshold. After a 25-30 minute startup period, the fuel cell will begin charging the batteries and powering the load. Powered by Propane P250i Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Ballard ElectraGen ME 2.5kW-5kW PEM Fuel Cells Ballard s ElectraGen ME proton exchange membrane fuel cells provide stationary backup power to critical infrastructure applications requiring high reliability and long autonomy with minimal maintenance. Fueled by a methanol-water based mixture, the ElectraGen ME offers superior performance at a reduced operating cost compared to fuel cells powered by hydrogen. The 2.5kW and 5kW systems are perfect for providing extended run backup to sites with high power requirements (ex: control points, telecom). ElectraGen ME PEM Fuel Cell
Power Systems Wind Turbines 400W - 1kW Primus Windpower Wind Turbines are small, dependable, versatile and efficient sources of DC power. Wind Turbines are best suited for applications which average windspeeds of 12mph or greater. Hybrid w/solar Solar & Wind Hybrid Power Systems are a popular option for wayside applications that experience varying weather conditions throughout the year. The two power generation systems are combined to cover peak loads and increase overall system availability and reliability. Global Thermoelectric TEGs 21W-550W Global TEGs are extremely reliable, low maintenance, long-life generators capable of providing continuous DC power. Global TEGs are designed to run on either propane, butane or natural gas and range in output size from 15 to 550 watts (can be combined to 5kW). TEGs are incredibly reliable, due in large part to the fact that they have no moving parts. TEGs rugged design makes them ideal for continuous long-term unattended operation in remote locations that may be exposed to harsh conditions or site visits are difficult (ex: mountainside). TEGs don t like to be cycled on/off and will wear prematurely if used in this fashion. Stirling Engines - Coming Late 2016! 3.5kW to 7.5kW The Qnergy QRP7500 remote power generator combines high-efficiency Stirling technology with advanced combustion capabilities to efficiently transform a variety of fuels and other heat sources into electricity in the 3.5kW to 7.5kW range. The Qnergy engine is an exceptionally low maintenance technology that offers long-life performance; two key features that make it an ideal power solution for critical remote wayside applications in lieu of less efficient and more maintenance intensive diesel/gas generators. * Qnergy Stirling Engines are in the developmental packaging stage and will not be available until Late 2016.
