Protect RCS Outdoor Plus

Thyristor controlled ruggedized Rectifier & Charger System

Protect RCS is designed to provide high reliability power supply and battery charging capability. The Outdoor Plus version provides the same level of protection to your equipment and processes and complies with the stringent protection standards according to IEC 60529 (IP 65). Protect RCS is a thyristor-controlled rectifier suitable for charging nickel-cadmium or lead-acid batteries while supplying DC loads. It can also be used without batteries as a direct power supply. The rectifier is built from independent building blocks and can be supplied with optional equipment as required. Cabinets are floor mounted. The batteries are installed in a separate cabinet from the rectifier. The Outdoor Plus version has been designed to have a natural cooling process, which simplifies maintenance and decreases total cost of ownership.
