Alpha — Canadian Distributor
Tacel supplies Alpha (an EnerSys company) UPS battery-backup systems and AlphaCell batteries to keep Canadian intersections operational through power events. AlphaCell HP and XTV battery lines, FXM-HP UPS modules, and outdoor enclosures rated for Canadian climate.
About Alpha
Alpha, an EnerSys company, builds the uninterruptible power systems and batteries that keep traffic signals running through power events. When the grid drops, an Alpha UPS carries the intersection on battery so the signals stay operational instead of going dark — an increasingly common requirement as agencies harden their networks against storms and outages.
Tacel supplies Alpha's traffic UPS and AlphaCell batteries to Canadian agencies, including the AlphaCell HP and XTV battery lines, FXM-HP UPS modules, and outdoor enclosures rated for Canadian climate. Cold weather is hard on batteries, so our team helps size the UPS and battery string for the load and the local temperature range, and supports the install so the backup is there when an outage actually hits.

Alpha applications in Canada
Signal backup through outages
An Alpha UPS with AlphaCell batteries carries an intersection on battery during a power event, keeping signals operational instead of dropping the intersection dark.
Storm-hardened networks
Agencies add UPS backup at critical intersections so the signal network keeps running through the storms and grid disturbances that cause widespread outages.
Cold-rated outdoor installs
Alpha's outdoor enclosures and battery lines are rated for Canadian climate, keeping the backup system reliable through cold-weather temperature swings.

Why source Alpha through Tacel?
Buying Alpha UPS and batteries through Tacel keeps the supply chain domestic — no cross-border importing, customs paperwork or U.S. return-shipping, with batteries especially awkward to ship across the border.
