Transformer Rectifier

The transformer rectifier works to provide power to the magnet at the correct Amps. This is dependent on magnet design, input voltage, and ambient temperature.

Additional Features:

  • The tank is a fully welded steel enclosure to IP65, and has a bolted lid for easy access to oil and components. For easy oil changes, the oil level gauge is fitted to the front of the tank and a drain plug is provided.
  • The terminal chamber on the front of the tank houses incoming AC and outgoing DC terminals. Taps are located inside the chamber, allowing outgoing DC voltage to be changed.
  • Double wound transformer to BS EN 60076.
  • The silicone diode, full wave bridge connected rectifier is stack mounted on an aluminum heat sink to BS 4417 ABCD.
  • Diode protection is equipped with fast-acting semi-conductor fuses. The surge suppression is fitted to protect diodes against surges from the magnet coil following switch off.
  • Steel is finished with one coat of primer and two coats of RAL high performance alkyd enamel.

Description

Optional Extras:

  • Starter box that features a start/stop button, a lockable isolator, and a current sensing relay to detect magnet low power and overloads, with terminals provided for remote access.
  • To prevent side spillage, 150mm high spillage rings can be fitted to the end flanges. These rings are fabricated in sections, allowing easy replacement if damaged.
  • Drum can be mounted onto a base frame and supplied complete with geared motor, chain dive, and guard.
  • To reduce downtime, a split platewheel can be provided for easy replacement. Platewheel may be ANSI if required.

Applications:

  • Electro Drum Magnets are widely used in the recycling industry, especially in environments that are particularly difficult and arduous. Some examples include:
  • Automobile and vehicle recycling and recovery facilities
  • Municipal waste and recycling facilities
  • Steelworks recovery facilities
