Sageon® Micro Series Rectifiers
The Sageon® Micro Series Rectifier is a switched-mode rectifier (rectifier) module designed to provide up to 60A of output current into a 24VDC nominal system and up to 50A of output current into a 48VDC nominal system. The 24V model is available in 440W, 900W, 1200W, and 1400W models, while the 48V model is available in 6A, 12.5A, 25A, 34A and 50A models.
The Sageon® Micro Series Rectifier has been designed to be used in conjunction with a battery to provide an uninterruptible DC power system. The low noise and high reliability make it ideally suited to telecommunications applications. For the 24V model from 1 to 63 rectifiers can be configured as a system, while for the 48V model from 1 to 27 rectifiers can be configured as a system; each system utilizing a single control and supervisory unit (Sageon® Plant Controller).
The system can be monitored and controlled remotely using SageView® software.
