SOCOMEC UPS Participates 2008 Summer

Socomec UPS China is happy to announce the Beijing Olympic Committee has chosen

Socomec UPS for the following events: Olympic Shooting Range, Olympic Center

Gymnasium, Yingdong swimming Hall, Olympic Sports Center Stadium, Shanghai

People’s Stadium (for ), Olympic Forest Park Garden and Olympic Sports Center

Garden for the emergency back-up of the lighting control systems.

As a result of a power outage at one of the Olympic venues in Beijing this year an audit of the lighting system was undertaken. Following the audit the Organising Committee decided to investigate the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to protect the lighting system. Socomec’s UPS solution was selected as the units are designed to handle the level of technical requirement needed for the lighting system’s high frequency distortion and very low power factor. Following the success in Beijing the Organising

Committee also decided that Socomec UPS would provide the reliable power supply in

Shanghai so that viewers around the world can enjoy watching the live football games on

TV without interruption.

Socomec and its distributors will also provide around-the-clock service and on-call engineers during the entire period of the Olympic Games to ensure the equipment operates to its best performance at all times.
