Alpha Industrial Power has expanded its battery charger family to include the Spectra series. This new battery charger incorporates the latest in digital control technology with robust SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) power electronics. The Spectra enhances Alpha's battery charger product line by adding a feature rich solution designed specifically to meet the most stringent industrial battery charger requirements.
The Spectra series provides DC power protection for control, signaling and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) applications within the utility substation, switchgear, process controls, and railway transportation industries. This new charger extends the technical benefits of the highly successful P45 series custom battery charger family in a package designed exclusively for general battery charger applications.
"By limiting the number of models and options to address the most commonly specified requirements, the Spectra industrial battery charger significantly reduces delivery lead times while offering a very attractive price point," commented Sam Ayoubi, Alpha Industrial Power, National Strategic Accounts Manager.
The Spectra supports applications requiring 24, 48 and 130Vdc output voltages in capacities ranging from 6 to 50A. Available with three different output-filtering options, the Spectra can be floor, wall or rack mounted.
This charger has a unique SCR rectifier with a double wound isolation transformer providing precisely regulated DC output and current limiting. An embedded hih reliability microprocessor provides enhanced monitoring and control. Additional features include temperature compensated charging, digital display, universal control boards, control disable for tamper free operation and online adjustment with drift free digital control settings. Its modular construction provides easy maintenance, and rectifier replacement with a battery eliminator option for use as a DC source without batteries.
