Modular Rectifier Systems

Modular rectifiers manage load supply and battery charging on a shared DC bus using parallel, replaceable power modules. Capacity expansion and servicing can be planned at module level.

PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY

Role in the system and operating principle

01

Product description

Parallel, field-replaceable power modules form a scalable DC power system with a controller, AC input, DC bus, battery connection and output distribution.

02

Operating principle

Each module converts AC energy into a regulated DC output. The controller manages module load sharing, the battery charging regime, alarms and remote communications.

03

Maintenance and lifecycle

Hot-swap modules reduce maintenance time. Fans, filters, connections, control software and battery performance are monitored at planned intervals.

APPLICATIONS

Engineering for the duty profile.
