RT12-120V/2.
4kW Rectifier Specification

The RT12-120V/2.4kW is a switched mode rectifier
(SMR) module that delivers up to 2.4kW of output
power (and up to 22A output current) into a 120V
nominal DC system. The RT12 suits AC supply
voltages between 208 and 240VAC but will also
operate at reduced power from supplies as low as
100VAC. The RT12 may be safely hot-plugged
into a live system for convenient system expansion
or module replacement.
The small dimensions of the RT12 allow high

power density in 400, or 600mm deep 19-inch or
23-inch racks. The addition of a MCSU-4 controller
allows a sophisticated power system to be built
with network connectivity and remote asset
management features.
Rectifiers convert power from an AC supply into

smooth DC, and are normally used in conjunction
with a battery to provide an uninterruptible DC
power system. A number of SMR modules (N) are
commonly used in parallel to deliver the required
power, with one or more additional modules (N+1)
providing redundancy.

Supplementary thermal overload protection is
provided.
Reverse battery internal fuse opens.
Remote Controls
Equalise Mode:
Equalise mode is initiated by a signal from the
MCSU-4;
Rectifier Inhibit:
Rectifiers can be inhibited by a signal from a
remote WinCSU-2 terminal, transmitted via the
MCSU-4;
External Digital Voltage Control (EDVC):

The MCSU-4 uses the optically coupled
communications lines to digitally control rectifier
Float and Equalise voltages over a limited voltage
range in order to adjust battery voltage for
temperature and voltage drop in DC bus, limit the
maximum battery recharging current and to
achieve active current sharing;
