Why do airports use different power solutions?
Airports don’t use the normal electricity network for their Airfield Ground Lighting but use special power units that use for example 6.6 Amp power systems. This is primarily for safety and operational reasons. These specialized power solutions are designed to meet the unique requirements of airfield lighting, which often operates in harsh environmental conditions and must remain functional even during power outages or emergencies. By utilizing dedicated power systems, airports can ensure reliable and uninterrupted operation of critical lighting infrastructure, including runway edge lights, taxiway lights, and approach lighting systems. Additionally, these power solutions are often isolated from the main airport electrical grid to prevent disruptions caused by faults or maintenance activities. Overall, the use of specialized power solutions for airfield ground lighting enhances safety, reliability, and resilience of airport operations.
