Description
Designed for integration within the 3500 Machinery Protection System, the Bently Nevada 3500/15-01-01-00 functions as a highly reliable power supply module. This half-height module converts incoming AC source power to the precise electrical levels required by the rack's backplane, ensuring stable operation of all installed monitor modules.
The 3500/15-01-01-00 configuration is specifically engineered for low-voltage AC environments, accepting an input range of 85 to 132 Vac rms. For mission-critical applications where continuous operation is paramount, the 3500 rack system supports redundant power configurations. Two modules can be installed simultaneously in a single rack, enabling automatic, seamless switchover to the secondary supply if the primary source experiences a fault.
Features
- Accommodates low-voltage AC input range from 85 to 132 Vac rms.
- Designed for seamless slot compatibility within standard 3500 Series chassis.
- Supports redundant, hot-swappable dual-supply configurations.
- Provides robust overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection to safeguard downstream modules.
- Half-height form factor optimizes physical footprint inside the monitoring rack.
Applications
- Steam, gas, and hydro power generation turbine systems.
- Oil and gas refining, petrochemical processing, and pipeline monitoring.
- Water and wastewater treatment facility rotating machinery.
- Heavy industrial machinery protection and condition monitoring networks.

Installation Guidelines
- Mount the power supply module exclusively in the designated left-hand slots of the 3500 rack chassis.
- Verify that the incoming supply line matches the 85 to 132 Vac rms low-voltage specification prior to energizing the circuit.
- Ensure a low-impedance connection to the main protective earth terminal block at the rear of the rack to maximize noise immunity and safety.
- Maintain clear ventilation space around the rack housing to allow adequate convective cooling.
