What Happened to the Safety Electrical Equipment Corporation?

05/15/2008 8:03 AM

Currently I'm working on a project for refurbishing the Light Rail Vehicle for the Cleveland Transit Authority. The HVAC system is early 80's vintage. OEM is Safety Electrical Equipment Corporation, New Haven, CT. I have searched the net extensively to find this company or the company which bought them, with no avail. I need parts for the controller. Is there a company I can contact?

Thanks

Try contacting the Chamber of Commerce in New Haven, CT. They may be able to tell you what happened to them or who bought them out.

Safety Electrical Equipment is Star Electric from my research. At least the government has them categorized as the same vendor. A quick google of Star in New Haven produces a couple different companies, but at least you have a start.

Good Luck,

Dave

You may need to upgrade for the future. Contact Mainstream Engineering Corporation http://www.mainstream-engr.com/ for a consultation to improve or replace your current system with more energy effiecient and compliant HVAC. I am not associated with them but was impressed with what they are doing to support our troops.

Safety Electrical Equipment Corp. moved to one of the Carolinas in the late 1980's.

I was working for them in Wallingford, CT when they moved. I have heard a rumor that they were purchased by a Japanese company, but have no actual knowledge of this.

I work for SEPTA and had the same question. I found a listing that is a dead end:
STONE SAFETY CORP.
111 S. Chase Blvd.
Fountain Inn, SC 29644-9018

Phone : (864) 862-1360
You might see if they were acquired by WABTEC

I worked for Stone Safety In Toronto in the late 80's, We made dc to dc converters, aircondintioning and other sub systems for passenger rail traffic vehicles. Our sister company was located in Wallingford CT. Our plant moved to Greensville NCwhen free trade was implemented. As I recall Stone Safety was a merger between Stone Corp. and Safety Electrical years before my employment there.

I was a Electromechanical Designer from 1982-1990 for Stone Safety corp. WallingfordCt..

They moved to Wallingford in 1976. And in 1988 to Fountain Inn SC. The move to

SC was the downfall of the company. No technical skills in the area........

At this time the P.C.Boards probably need minor repairs. If you examine the boards

there is a edge connector on the bottom edge. Adjacent to the conn. the board part#

is clad and silkscreened . With those numbers in hand I MAY have the schematics.

The panel assy. has a sturdy name plate with assy. pt.#. this can get me to the

unit schematic and wiring diag. Remember half of the harness wiring is dedicated

to DTC diagnostic test connector on the enclosure. I'm guessing you don't have

the test set......A simple Haufman encl. W/ leds and harness.......Good thing ta have.

The car builder is ether Morrison/Kudnuson,Morrison-Knudsen Corporation - American-Rails.com. Or Sumitomo, Public Transportation: On the Move... - Page 218 - Google Books Result. And kawasakirc.com Light Rail Vehicles - Kawasaki Rail Car, Inc

You can ask me any light rail questions at chapman564@aol.com

Good Luck.....

Robert Chapman

P.S.

I'm looking for work
