BATTERY CHARGER / DC RECTIFIER

RDA / RDAT AUTOMATION TYPE SERIES

The rectifier is SCR controlled AC/DC rectifier with input

isolation transformer and with automatic constant voltage
and constant current ability. It comes with 6 Pulse or 12
pulse design options depending on user requirements.
The advantages of employing 12 pulse rectifier in industrial
DC UPS systems are to have lower THDi (<10%) and higher
pf at input (>0.9) as well as to secure redundancy since 12
pulse rectifiers are designed with one delta and one star
connected transformers, so the unit itself behaves as two
redundant rectifiers by its nature. Output current, battery
current, boost and Float Charge Voltages are adjustable on
the user-friendly control panel. Detailed alarm indicators
help you to monitor all alarms from the front panel and
monitor the auxiliary contacts from the MIMIC diagram.
On LCD panel, all key parameters can be set, and real time
base events and failures can be tracked remotely via RS
485/ModBus, Profibus, TCP/IP or SMS/Mail Order.

Battery current has the options for selecting the boost
and float current based on battery capacity. Suitable float and boost currents of the battery are set before selecting the
automatic boost option. After the set-up, the automatic boost function will monitor the battery current and select boost or
float option by referring to the set values. If the charging current Charge

HIGH PROTECTION
FULLY CONTROLLED THRYSTOR RECTIFIER MODULE

COMPLETE ISOLATION
PMI DC Chargers are fully isolated since an isolation transformer is placed in between the input and output and because the
DC current is controlled by a DC current module. Therefore, the load is always safe even at high input voltage and congested
mains conditions. In addition, the failure risk is minimized as semi-conductors are used for the rectifier. Standard L-C filters at
the output maintain safe charging of the battery groups.

PROTECTIONS DC RIPPLE < 1% WIDE RANGE OF USE

PARALLELING
The Charger has a modular design to provide service and maintenance
simplicity. The outputs of the Battery Chargers can be connected in
parallel. The parallel system can be active load sharing or hot-standby.
Besides this, parallel system can be placed in one unit industrial cabin
as seen from the picture on the right side or they can be placed in
different cabins based on the requirement.

BOOST INHIBIT FUNCTION

Boost Inhibit Function is optionally employed when two DC Chargers
with two battery groups operate in a parallel redundant mode. In
parallel operation, if two rectifiers start boost-charging at the same
time there is danger the load would be damaged by overvoltage.
So, the principle idea of Inhibit facility is to block any one of the two
chargers feeding the load in Boost mode when the other rectifier is
charging the batteries in Boost mode; so the system prevents applying
overvoltage to the load. This function is primarily handled by a powerful
communication between two rectifiers and the use of contactors

On both LCD panel and communication interface, all key parameters can be set and real time base
events and failures can be tracked. In parallel operation multiple rectifiers can be controlled by
the help of same communication interface. The communication is executed via RS 485/ModBus,
Profibus, TCP/IP or SMS/Mail Order.
