AEG Power launches industrial rectifier, battery charger
DUBAI, March 11, 2016
AEG Power Solutions, a provider of power electronic systems and solutions for industrial power supplies and renewable energy applications, has launched Protect RCS Outdoor Plus, a thyristor-controlled, premium industrial rectifier and battery charger for use in harsh environmental conditions.
Protect RCS Outdoor Plus will help ensure the availability of electrical power for all types of demanding industrial applications such as oil, gas and petrochemical, power generation or distribution, transportation or any critical processes requiring an outdoor solution in a remote area and extreme climatic environment, said a statement.
Its design has been derived from the Protect RCS, which already has years of proven track record in the field.
The new system will provide highly reliable power and battery charging capabilities. It includes a thyristor-controlled rectifier suitable for charging nickel-cadmium or lead-acid batteries while supplying DC loads, and can also be used without batteries as a direct power supply.
For maximum flexibility, the rectifier is composed of independent building blocks and can be supplied with optional equipment as required.
To simplify maintenance and decrease total cost of ownership, the Outdoor Plus has been carefully designed to allow maximum natural airflow cooling, with the rectifier separated from the batteries. It is supplied in a heavy duty steel cabinet, which is IP65 compliant according to IEC 60259.
All parameters of the new Outdoor Plus system can be digitally set, and monitored via the front panel display. An alarm and event logger includes a date and time-stamped event log memory.
Lothar Heinemann, product manager at AEG Power Solutions, said: “We developed the Outdoor Plus version of our Protect RCS industrial rectifier/charger as it answers a specific market demand to secure power in extremely harsh environmental conditions and often remote areas, for critical processes.
“Our DC R&D team brought in a wealth of experience, and the product design not only guarantees one of the highest levels of reliability, but also simplifies the maintenance and decreases the total cost of ownership, which is a major concern of our customers.” - TradeArabia News Service
