Description
Bently 3500 15-05-05-00
Technical Specifications
- Model Number: 3500/15-05-05-00
- Configuration: Dual Universal AC Power Supplies (Redundant)
- Input Voltage: 100-240 VAC
Key Features
- Zero-Downtime Maintenance: If one power supply fails, the other instantly assumes the full load without interrupting framework operation.
- Load Sharing: Both power supplies operate in parallel to share the thermal and electrical stress.
- Universal Compatibility: Accepts global AC inputs, simplifying international spare parts logistics.
Application Scenarios
Mandatory for API 670 compliant installations on highly critical, unscheduled shutdown-sensitive equipment such as mainline gas compressors and power generation turbines.
Performance Parameters
- Redundancy Level: 1:1 Hot-Standby / Active-Active
- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): Exceptionally high due to dual-module architecture
Material Composition
Dual industrial-grade power conversion units housed in a unified structural framework with enhanced thermal management.
Structural Characteristics
Occupies both the upper and lower left-side half-height slots in the 3500 rack. The lower module acts as the primary, and the upper as the secondary.
Working Principle
The framework’s internal power management circuitry seamlessly balances the load between the two modules. If a fault is detected in the primary, the secondary takes over instantly while an alarm is triggered for maintenance.
Installation Requirements
Both slots must be populated to achieve redundancy. Ensure adequate clearance in the control panel for heat dissipation from two active power supplies.
Usage Precautions
Do not mix different revisions of power supplies in a redundant pair. Regularly test the redundancy by simulating a primary power failure during planned maintenance windows.
