3500/15 Power Supply Module (Bently Nevada)

Product Description The 3500/15 is a half‑height, hot‑swappable power supply for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It installs in the leftmost slots of the 3500/05 rack and converts AC or DC input into regulated +5 V, ±15 V for all monitor modules and backplane. Supports 1+1 redundancy (mixed AC/DC allowed) and is critical for turbomachinery TSI/protection in power, oil & gas, and heavy industry.

Description

Core Functions

  • Rack Power Distribution: Converts field AC/DC to regulated voltages for all 3500 modules.

  • Redundant Operation: Dual supplies eliminate single point of failure; hot‑swap without shutdown.

  • Wide Input Flexibility: Universal AC or LV/HV DC options match plant power architectures.

  • Status Monitoring: Local LEDs + system‑wide fault reporting via 3500/22M TDI.

  • Harsh Environment Operation: Extended temperature range for control room or field installations.

Applications

  • Power Generation: Steam/gas turbines, generators, boiler feed pumps.

  • Oil & Gas: Compressors, pumps, turbines, refinery critical rotating equipment.

  • Heavy Industry: Large motors, gearboxes, process machinery requiring SIL 2 protection.

  • TSI Systems: Turbine supervisory instrumentation (vibration, displacement, speed).
