Bently Nevada 3500/15

Power Supply Options

Universal AC Voltage: Bently Nevada 3500/15 has a universal AC voltage option. The input voltage ranges from a nominal 110 to 220VAC, with a wider range of 85 to 264VAC RMS and 120 to 373VAC PK. This wide input voltage range makes it compatible with different AC power sources around the world, providing flexibility in different power supply environments.

High Voltage DC: For high voltage DC, it accepts an input voltage of 88 to 140VDC. This option is suitable for applications where a high voltage DC power supply is available or required, ensuring stable power for the connected systems.

Low Voltage DC: The low voltage DC option has an input voltage range of 20 to 30VDC, offering a reliable power source for systems that operate on lower DC voltages.

Features and Advantages

Redundant Power Supply Capability: The 3500/15 is designed to support redundant power supplies. In a rack, one or two power supplies (either AC or DC in any combination) can be accommodated. The bottom slot power supply acts as the primary, and the higher slot power supply serves as a backup. This redundancy ensures continuous operation of the system even if one power supply fails. The ability to use different voltage sources for the primary and backup power supplies (such as 120VAC for the main and 24VDC for the backup) provides added flexibility and reliability in case of power source issues.

Compatibility: It is compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 mechanical protection system, working seamlessly with other modules in the system to provide comprehensive monitoring and protection for rotating equipment.

Self-Check Function: Bently Nevada 3500/15 has a self-check function that can monitor whether all output voltages are in line with specifications. This is indicated by a green "supply ok" light-emitting diode (LED) on the front panel of the power module, allowing users to easily monitor the status of the power supply.

Half-Height Module Design: The 3500/15 is a half-height module, which is convenient for installation in the rack. This design saves space in the equipment cabinet and is conducive to the overall layout of the system.
