Bently Nevada 3500/15

The Bently Nevada 3500/15 is a crucial component within the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. Specifically, it’s a Power Supply Module. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and functions:

• Core Function:
  • It provides the necessary power to operate the 3500 Series monitoring system.
  • It converts incoming AC or DC power into the required voltages for the other modules in the 3500 rack.
• Key Features:
  • Versatility: The 3500/15 supports various input voltage options, including AC and DC, to accommodate different power sources.
  • Redundancy: The 3500 rack can house two 3500/15 power supplies, providing redundancy. If one power supply fails, the other automatically takes over, ensuring continuous operation.
  • Reliability: It’s designed for industrial environments, emphasizing reliability and stability.
  • It is designed to be installed in specific slots within the 3500 rack.
• Applications:
  • It’s used in a wide range of industrial applications where continuous machinery monitoring is vital, including:
    • Power generation
    • Oil and gas
    • Petrochemicals
• Important Considerations:
  • There are different versions of the 3500/15 to handle various input voltage ranges (e.g., high-voltage AC, low-voltage DC).
  • When using AC power, the 3500/15 works in conjunction with a Power Input Module (PIM).
