RECTIFIERS-7

Rectifiers are equipped with microprocessor control and diagnostics system. This system issues the following criteria information about state of each diode on visualization panel: “normal operation”, “parameters derating”, “breakdown”, as well as diodes temperature. Monitoring of each diode parameters is made dynamically, during rectifier operation. Diagnosis of the mentioned criteria can significantly increase the period of rectifier trouble-free operation. In case of diode parameters changing to critical for this circuit level, the power diode can be replaced without its breakdown. In case...

Main technical parameters of fixed rectifiers * other values - upon request Rectifiers are manufactured for both indoor and outdoor arrangement. In case of outdoor arrangement control and diagnostic system is located separately and installed indoors or in a cabinet with regulated environment. Rectifiers are manufactured with air natural and forced cooling. Forced air cooling is actually combined natural air and forced air. Rectifier operates with natural cooling under loads lower or close to rated ones. In case of risk of overheating under overloads, fans are switched on and forced cool diodes....
