Shunting Device

The Protran Shunting Device was designed to provide a redundant safety system for track workers. If the shunt ever becomes disconnected, a visual and audible alarm activates to let the workers know that no shunting is in place. The system can also send an alert to any workers wearing a Personal Alert Device or Flagger Device.

ProPower

The ProPower is an independent 750VDC source for the testing/verifying of Protran Technology and other safety equipment. The Protran Technology ProPower is a portable 750VDC @ 20 MA power supply and is designed to allow transit workers the ability to safely test our voltage awareness equipment independently from the main power source of the Catenary wire and Third Rail. NEC requires that testing of equipment for live DC be done by an independent source. Testing should be performed indoors in a clean and dry environment.
