Elevator System

Otis India has launched an easy to install, single-phase battery operated, GeN2 SWITCHâ„¢ Elevator System in India. This innovative system is a breakthrough in the elevator industry to operate GeN2 technology elevators with single-phase 230 V supply. Under normal running mode, single phase mains power supply charges a pack of batteries which in turn supplies power to the elevator motor operation. So in the event of a power failure, the battery pack continues to operate the elevator that too up to a 100 trips. Thus the GeN2 SWITCH would prove to be a boon in parts of the country which suffer from excess power outages.

Customer benefits: cost savings using 230 V single phase power supply rather than 400 V 3-phase; normal elevator use even in case of power cuts (up to 100 trips); regenerated energy captured into batteries that makes system more reliable in power cut situations; improved safety for installation and maintenance due to low voltage application; also, convenient as the requirement is only single phase power supply; and compatible with alternative energy sources like solar panels that makes it truly sustainable.
