PRODUCT OVERVIEW 596 Rectifier Retrofit • Replace discontinued 596 product with Plug-and-Play module • Saved distribution and cabling infrastructure • NEBS and CEus Certified Infinity TE Rectifiers – Proven field performance – Distributed fault tolerance – Controller continuity Intelligence – Industry leading controller features – Ethernet interface for remote access – Centralized network management Investment Protection – Module compatibility – Power shelf growth GE Energy has offered the 596 family of rectifiers from the early 1990s. 596 rectifiers can be found in the GPS4812, 2424, PXS Shelves, and OCS Cabinet applications. These power systems have a long history of service and through the evolution of technology have experienced a series of rectifier upgrades. To date, all changes have included the continued use of the original rectifier case. This new 596 replacement allows these legacy power systems to be upgraded with modern rectifiers, while leaving the distribution, shelves and frame in place. To accommodate the GE Energy Infinity TE series of rectifiers, a host-carrier is installed in each rectifier slot for a seamless transition to the Total Efficiency™ (TE) rectifier technology. Functionally, the Infinity TE rectifiers are designed to work with all existing controllers where the 596 rectifier was used. This would include the Vector, Pulsar, Pulsar Plus, Millennium 1 & 2 as well as the Galaxy SC controllers. Replacing all the rectifiers will gain the greatest system efficiency, however the existing 596 units can continue to work side by side with the new Infinity TE series of rectifiers. No change is needed to the output distribution, batteries, or LVD contactor of these plants with this upgrade. The Infinity TE rectifiers provide a costeffective means of modernization and growth to this installed base of 596 rectifiers. For most applications the upgrade process is no more than the removal of the 596, replacement with a carrier and the insertion of the new Infinity TE rectifier. Infinity Rectifier The Infinity TE rectifier series offers modules for use in +24V to -48V applications. Rectifiers are color coded to quickly identify voltage. Rectifier Options: • NE100AC24ATEZ Rectifier, 100A/24V Output • NE050AC48ATEZ Rectifier, 50A/48V Output © 2012 General Electric Company.

TE products will prioritize sustainable energy sources like solar, wind, water and fuel cells over traditional utility grid or diesel generator sources – and they will intelligently respond to smart grid information to reduce consumption during peak demand periods. Active Rectifier Management (ARM) and Battery Charging Optimization (BCO) features increase efficiency on current and legacy power infrastructures. The Total Efficiency architecture addresses issues end-to-end based on our proven experience and expertise in batteries, power distribution, DC energy systems, AC-DC power supplies, and DC-DC board mounted power to deliver a solution that is more safe, reliable and energy efficient than competitive alternatives.

TECHN I CAL SP ECI FI CATI ON S – R ECTIFIERS Infinity TE Rectifiers • Compact - 1RU form factor providing high power density (24 W/in3) • Plug and Play – installation of the rectifier in a shelf connected to a compatible system controller initializes all set up parameters automatically.
