SR Series
Rectifier
Technology
The Lucent Technologies family of SR series rectifiers
represents a significant advancement in space utilization, ease of
installation, and weight reduction over previously available
products.
The Lineage
®
2000 364A3 50-ampere, -48-volt SR series
rectifier uses switchmode technology to convert commercial
50/60 Hz ac input power into highly regulated and filtered,
low-noise, -48-volt dc output power for telecommunications
equipment loads. Since telecommunication systems typically
obtain their primary power from potentially noisy commercial ac
lines (and emergency alternators during commercial power
failures) and since high-quality dc power is required in order for
the equipment to function correctly, the 364A3 rectifier is an
excellent choice for a telecommunications power plant. The
rectifier provides excellent output regulation over a wide range
of load currents, input voltages, and input frequencies.
Processing the power at higher frequencies allows for substantial
reduction in the size and weight of the energy storage elements.
Benefits
Improved Space Efficiency: A unique Lucent Technologies
Bell Laboratories design, which incorporates 70 kHz switching
frequency, has resulted in rectifiers which occupy approximately
one-third of the space and weigh one-seventh as much as
comparable ferroresonant rectifiers. The 364A3 rectifier plugs
into a shelf assembly that can house three rectifiers. In addition,
several rectifiers can be configured in parallel arrangements to
provide capacities up to 600 amperes in 48 inches of vertical
space.
Reduced Installation and Maintenance: Its unique plug-in
design, front access capability, and light weight make the 364A3
rectifier easy to install and simple to maintain.
Continuous Operation: 364A3 rectifiers can easily be added to
Lineage

2000 battery plants without interrupting power to the
load.
Increased Cost Effectiveness: Space efficiency, ease of
installation and maintenance, high reliability, and a near unity
power factor result in lower operating costs. The 364A3
rectifier’s modular design allows your plant to begin small and
to grow as required.
