Emergency Lighting Inverters for Schools

Power In Case of Emergency

Schools, universities, and educational facilities can have thousands of people onsite attending classes, teaching lessons, handling administrative work, and maintaining the facilities. When a power failure occurs or another disaster strikes, you need to keep students and staff calm while identifying problems and issuing orders to evacuate the building.

Emergency lighting inverters for schools allow you to automatically power lighting, signage, and other emergency systems to promote safety throughout the campus.

The Importance of Emergency Lighting in Educational Settings

Throughout the day and into the evenings, students and staff can be found on campus, engaged in a learning environment in classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and dormitories. If the power goes out anytime during the day, students need a way to properly shut off vital equipment like computers or lab devices, navigate down stairwells, and exit buildings in a safe manner.

Emergency lighting helps to illuminate classrooms, hallways, stairs, and exits for students and faculty. This lighting system is automatic throughout the entire building as it turns on instantly when there is a power failure, surge, or fluctuation. With the help of an emergency lighting inverter, the system maintains a reliable and continuous power supply to the emergency lights.

Benefits of Emergency Lighting in Educational Settings

When the lights go out, a calm setting can quickly become stressful. Both adults and young children can experience anxiety, fear, and panicky feelings. While the faculty can try to calm the situation, there is not much else that they can do without instructions from administration.

Emergency lighting can keep things calmer and more orderly for students and staff in universities & educational facilities. It can help lower the amount of stress and allow teachers to regain control of their classrooms. No one has to wait for maintenance personnel to turn on emergency lights floor by floor. Instead, the lighting inverter is in a centralized location to control all the emergency lighting and signage systems.

Compliance and Regulations for Educational Facilities

Universities & educational facilities must follow specific compliance and regulations in regard to emergency lighting and lighting inverters. Both lighting inverters and emergency exit lighting must receive UL 924 standards. Central lighting inverters must also be in compliance with Life Safety Code 101 standards.

These standards require that all emergency lighting and lighting inverters be in operation for a minimum of 90 minutes during a power failure. The lighting cannot rely on other power sources or circuits to receive power. Instead, the central lighting inverter must supply backup power for the recommended time and provide this power automatically without being interrupted.

Choosing the Right Emergency Lighting Inverter

Selecting the right emergency lighting inverter will depend upon the number of emergency lights, signs, and other devices that will be connected. You will need an inverter that can handle the load and run for the required length of time. As well as, assessing whether the inverter will distribute power to connected buildings or if each building will be equipped with its own central inverter system.
