Battery Charger
Configuration
The configurations allow for simultaneous operation of supplying the load and the automatic charging of the battery either in float or boost mode. The battery feeds the load when main supply is not there.
It supplies DC Power to Load and Battery simultaneously. While charging the battery, the same voltage will be fed to load. Capacity shall be charging current +load current depends on battery capacity.
Load Voltage can be maintained through tap cell which is in option
In this scheme Float rectifier will feed the DC power to load and FCBC will charge the battery. If FC fails FCBC will feed the power to load and charge the battery simultaneously. Load voltage will be maintained constant through tap cell.
In this scheme both FCBC will deliver the load and battery . If any one fails other will take the functions of both load and charging the battery
In this scheme for a single load we have the two sets of FCBC and Battery bank for redundancy purpose. Load voltage will be maintained through tap cell from both the chargers through contactors.
This is the true 100% redundancy for different loads with 2 sets of battery and FCBC. Both load voltage will be maintained constant through tap cell from independent chargers.
This chargers feeds the contant voltage to the load at the time of charging the battery through Chopper which operates at high frequency. FCBC charges the battery and feed the power to load. Load voltage will be the float voltage and battery voltage will be boost charge voltage.

Rectifiers for CED

- Cathodic Electro Deposition (CED) is a process of coating an object having a conductive surface connected to a circuit as the cathode, by positively charged paint particles suspended in aqueous medium, under direct current. CED coating is most widely used for the inner coating of exposed surfaces to help them withstand harsh environmental conditions and to provide a long life. Typical applications are for the chassis of Buses, Trucks, Cars, Tractors and earth moving machinery. They are also used for Automobile components like bumpers, Wheels etc. and while goods such as refrigerators, washing machines etc.
- This requires a controlled DC supply with suitable voltage profiles to suit a variety of chassis and to ensure a uniform coating also in difficult to access places. These systems have to be interlocked with the plant DCS systems and the mechanical transport systems, to optimise the production. Before entering the tank for CED the parts are chemically cleaned and washed. After the coating the parts are taken for baking of the paint.
- Autodata CED rectifier systems are IGBT based high frequency systems that are digitally controlled with good man machine interface. These systems offer different communication protocols to connect to other plant operational systems ensuring smooth plant level integration.
- They employ intelligent algorithms to allow for live as well as dead entry of the components in the paint tank. They also cater to a various rating of voltage (up to 450V DC) and currents up to 700Amps.
- Higher ratings can be offered on request.
- Autodata has a unique current sharing technology and also offers systems with an “N+1“concept to ensure trouble free continuous operation. All this is done with a very high efficiency, high power factor and low harmonic distortion. The components are generously designed to ensure a low temperature rise and are suitable for operation at 50⁰ C with no deration.
