Salicru has just launched its new DC POWER-L range of rectifiers/battery chargers, based on microprocessor-controlled thyristor technology and designed to protect highly-critical DC loads with maximum quality and reliability. The main applications of these systems are very harsh and demanding operating environments, such as: power stations, electrical substations, oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical plants, mines, railways, telecommunications facilities, hospitals and industrial plants.

DC systems are devices that either convert alternating current into direct current (rectifiers, chargers) or direct current into alternating current (inverters). Such DC systems can store power in an accumulator battery, enabling an uninterrupted supply of DC or AC (through an inverter). The DC POWER-L series covers the range between 25 A and 200 A with outputs from 110 to 220 Vdc.

The output accuracy is +/- 1% and the system is designed to charge open or sealed lead acid and nickel cadmium batteries. All alarms, monitoring and status indicators (via display and LEDs) are managed through a digital control system. Each type of battery requires special charging characteristics that are managed by the controller. The systems are completely customisable to the specific characteristics and needs of each client and application. Its robust design ensures that the installation requires low maintenance and can work for long periods without special attention.
