Emergency power supply device for lift systems
First Claim
1. Emergency current supply equipment (10) for lift installations with electric motor drives, which comprises an energy storage unit (11) for electric energy, which bridges over temporary drops or interruptions in mains voltage and ensures the performance of an evacuation travel in the event of failure of the mains supply during a lift travel, in that it supplies energy to all electrical components, which participate in the evacuation travel, of the lift installation at least until such time as the lift cage has reached the level of a storey, characterised in that the energy storage unit (11) comprises capacitors in the form of supercapacitors (13).

Abstract
Emergency current supply equipment (10) for lift installations with electric motor drives has the task of bridging over temporary drops or interruptions in main voltage and of supplying, in the event of failure of the mains supply during a lift travel, all components of the lift installation needed for an evacuation travel with energy until such time as the lift car has reached the level of a storey. The energy storage unit (11) used for that purpose comprises as the storage medium exclusively capacitors in the form of supercapacitors (13) or a combination of supercapacitors (13) and electrochemically acting batteries (14).
