Application
The PowerRack is used in electroplating processes, water treatment, special electrolytic applications, DC-based process technologies, automated operations, and pulse applications.
Product Design
Modern surface technology places high demands on the process infrastructure. As a scalable rectifier device, the PowerRack is the flexible power supply for almost any DC process. An optional, redundant design guarantees the user the highest level of process reliability. Due to the 19“technology, the PowerRack concept bundles high performance in a small space.
Regardless of environmental conditions, the air-cooled (and optionally water-cooled) PowerRack variants ensure optimal conditions for efficient and continuous operation.
Customer benefits
Compact, expandable, flexible (low residual ripple), suitable for both current and voltage constant control, optionally redundant, lightweight design – each power module in the PowerRack features its own independent DC power supply.

Block Diagram
The primary switched-mode power supply consists of five elementary functionalities:
(1) In the line filter, on the one hand, high-frequency disturbance variables that arise on the device side are reduced in accordance with the standards. On the other hand, the line filter serves to dampen the interference voltages superimposed on the supply network.
(2) The voltage is converted into a DC voltage in the mains rectifier.
(3) The power electronics in turn transform the DC voltage into a stepped AC voltage with pulse width modulation.
(4) The internal transformer provides galvanic isolation and voltage adjustment to the secondary side.
(5) On the output side, it is first rectified with the aid of fast power diodes, then filtered and sieved. A constantly smoothed and fully controllable direct voltage and fully controllable direct current are generated at the output.
