SCR rectifiers
Air cooled SCR rectifier
Our air cooled silicon rectifier, with primary thyristor controlled is featured with voltage and current control function. The unit is cooled by a forced air cooling system achieved by the integrated low noise emission fan. The rectifier is integrated into a solid cabinet and is intended for remote control (0 – 10 V). One of the outstanding features of the offered technology is the low noise fan design. Instead of a high volume fan, this rectifier is featured with a special air guiding system and special fan design, which prevents dripping solution from entering the cabinet. The required cooling air will be guided into the cabinet from the sides. The rectifier is rated for continuous, full load, industrial operation without any reduction in output power.
oil cooled scr rectifier
Our natural oil cooled silicon rectifier, with secondary thyristor adjustment, is integrated into a robust oil tank and is intended for remote control operation. The adjustment of the rectifier can be carried out electronically via analog signals (0-10Vdc) for constant current and voltage control. It is rated for continuous, full load, industrial operation without any reduction in output power. The rectifier is enclosed in a tough, corrugated oil tank which fulfills all of the requirements up to a NEMA 4/IP 56. This housing is ideal for installation in the most aggressive of environments, as is the cooling method. With oil cooling, there is no need for cooling air to be drawn through the internal components, which prevents depositing of any contaminants (especially dust) into the rectifier section.
water cooled scr rectifier
Our complete water cooled, thyristor controlled high power rectifier, is designed for water cooling. The rectifier is featured with a specially designed combination inverter and rectification circuit to reduce the total losses of the semiconductors, which results in lower operation costs. The rectifier is integrated into a special designed cabinet and is intended for remote control via analog signals (0 – 10V). This unit has been built into a special, robust cabinet. The lacquered housing consists of a steel frame and base. A maintenance friendly, modular construction neatly rounds off the concept of this rectifier. For maximum efficiency, all internal conductors, as well as the transformer windings, are exclusively made out of copper. The total water-cooling system for this rectifier has been specially designed. It ensures complete, efficient cooling, allowing over 90% of all generated heat losses to be removed directly by the cooling water. For this reason, the surrounding increase in air temperature is negligible in comparison with other systems, notably oil and air. The connections for cooling water entry and exit are located on the back side of the enclosure. The best water to be used for cooling is any which has the same properties as tap water – exact details can be found in the following cooling-water specification.
