Thanks for the reply Baluncore... Guys all kind of suggestions are welcome...anything you want to add any modifications or any other super cap product cheaper and smaller than what i have suggested in the first post ...even if you think whatever i have posted is right, please let me know...

Hi, I am planning to run a DC motor using a super capacitor. The specification of the motor are: Voltage : 90V - 120 V DC Current : 15 A Duration : Should run for atleast 10 seconds. I have finalized this super capacitor from maxwell for the above operation...

No Jim..the heaters are getting supply from some other source not from the batteries.

Hi Jim, Sorry for late reply. Just wanted to inform you that that the batteries we are using are not really for backup. It is not expected that the main power supply will go off at any point of time. The main reason we are using the batteries is since the point switches draw a lot of power...

1. Generally the capacitor will get the time to recharge after every cycle i.e. as soon as point is moved and locked on the other end. One cycle takes nominally 2.8 secs but to be on a safer side we can consider up to 7 sec in case of failure as discussed in point 3. 2. Most of the time the...

yeah to some extent you are right..however neither i am trying to push a product nor m not selling anything...the only thing i wanted is get the fact whether it will work or not..that's why i came here...even if its possible then also i will not get anything out of it...its just if i am...

@Jim: thanks for the reply.. Will the calculations be same even i am using the capacitor for only a maximum time of 10 sec at a time.. after that its will again get the time to recharge...i will try to find out the specifications of the motor we are using...will soon post it..

Thanks a lot guys for replying... I am not saying that it is possible and we are going to do it... i am not an expert on this subject...but just consider this.. if engineers are able to run a light metro train on super capacitor...

Hi.. I am working as a signalling engineer in Railways. This weekend i am going to give a presentation on super capacitors and their use in railway systems. Most importantly i am going to show how we can replace batteries with super capacitors (EDLC). The problem i am facing is i don't have any...
