RECTIFIERS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Air-cooled rectifiers will be used for most
applications in non-corrosive atmospheres. Where
highly corrosive atmosphere exist, the equipment
will be oil-immersed in a tank type housing. For
hazardous area applications, oil-immersed equipment
will be provided with an explosion-proof or
dust-ignition-proof housing, as appropriate.
where an automatic system is not provided. Variacs
should not be used where subjected to corrosive or
marine air atmospheres.
**************************************************************************
2.3.1
UL 506 and NEMA ST 1, as applicable.
2.3.2
Electrical Ratings
Electrical ratings as follows: input voltage at 60 Hz: [[115] [208] [230]
volts single phase] [[208] [230] [460] volts three phase].
a.
Output voltage, dc:
[9] [12] [18] [24] [_____] volts [As
indicated].
b.
Output current, dc:
[8] [16] [24] [32] [_____] amperes [As
indicated]
The rectifier shall be capable of supplying continuous full rated output at
an ambient temperature of 44 degrees C 112 degrees F in full sunlight with
expected life of 10 years minimum.
2.3.3
Rectifier Stacks
[Silicon] [_____] connected in such a manner as to provide full wave
rectification. [Silicon diodes shall be protected by selenium cells or
varistors against overvoltage surges and by current limiting devices
against overcurrent surges.]
[2.3.4
Enclosure
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Choose this paragraph for air-cooled
rectifier enclosures or the paragraph below entitled
"Oil Immersed Enclosures." Oil immersed enclosures
shall be used where highly corrosive atmosphere
exist. When locating oil immersed rectifiers near
buildings, consult with paragraph 3.2.3 of MILHDBK
1008C for fire safety requirements.
