On this page:

The DC power industry offered stand-alone 200, 400 and 800A ferro-resonant rectifiers throughout the 1980s and 1990s. These legacy ferro-resonant rectifiers have since been discontinued by most manufacturers. The Ferro/SCR Retrofit Power Solution allows many brands and third-party legacy ferro-resonant rectifiers or SCRs to be upgraded to modern energy-efficient switch-mode rectifiers and controller technology, while preserving existing cabling and distribution investments. Bolting patterns remain the same as well.

The Ferro / SCR Retrofit Power Solution (RPS) utilizes 595LT Total Efficiency™ rectifiers to improve energy efficiency and deliver centralized management visibility and control. The 595LT TE rectifiers offer next generation efficiency approaching 97% with the proven reliability heritage of 595 rectifiers deployed in telecom networks for the past 20 years. The 595LT TE rectifiers are managed by the modern Galaxy Millennium® SC or Millennium II controllers.

The RPS cabinet is designed to accommodate multiples of 220A 595LT rectifier utilizing the same f loorspace of the existing ferro-based product. The top section of each RPS cabinet is carefully designed to offer the AC and DC connection points at the same physical location as the ferro being replaced, enabling the existing AC and DC cabling infrastructure to be reused. RPS configurations enable back-to-back or sideby-side deployments. If a Galaxy SC controller is not already present, either a Galaxy Millennium SC or Millennium II controller must be added.

OmniOn has designed RPS cabinets to replace many combinations of ferro and SCR rectifiers manufactured by Emerson/Lorain (RL and RHM series), Lineage Power and PECO II (3875 and 3876). Page 3 The Ferro / SCR Retrofit Power Solution provides a cost-effective upgrade for the installed base of legacy telecom power systems. The design of the RPS cabinet is optimized to minimize installation time and effort by limiting cabling or distribution changes. For most applications the retrofit process can be completed in a single work shift.
