The Q500B is a modular full-bridge switch-mode rectifier with a 3-phase input, the largest in our Quasar lineup. Up to nine power modules can be stacked to reach 128 kW of output power in the same enclosure. However, if needed, the rectifiers can be interconnected to sum up their total output power. It fulfils the power needs for most plating line production lines. Manual or automatic control is possible, and it allows the programming of waveforms, monitoring of Ah, and more. Reversed output and pulsed waveforms as fast as 2ms are available for pulse plating applications, and floating output poles can be opted for.

GENERAL OPTIONS
REVERSE POLARITY
Allows switching the output between forward and reverse polarity.
1MS PULSE
This function is available when rise and fall times faster than 1 second are critical for the production process. Done by a combination of software and a selection of electrical components. Recipe patterns can be followed by controlling the CPU to achieve a rise time and fall time of 1ms with no overshoot when using resistive loads.
LOWER RIPPLE
Reduces the DC ripple to < 1%.
FLOATING OUTPUT
Allows the Q500B to connect the positive pole to ground. This comes as standard for Vega.
UL COMPLIANCE
Certain components are changed to meet UL standard compliance.
E-STOP
The E-Stop system can be configured to cut the output power of the rectifier. Complies with international standards IEC 62061 SIL Level 3 Protection and ISO 13849-1 Protection Level E. The E-Stop of rectifiers can be interconnected for simultaneous emergency activation when necessary to ensure operational safety. The E-Stop can be activated by peripheral devices when emergency conditions are detected It is possible to configure for automatic or controlled reset.
COMM. PROTOCOLS
A wide range of industrial communication standards via a certified HMS AnyBus IC. Communication protocols are not CPU software dependent and are interchangeable with ease. The Data Map structure is not communication protocol dependent, allowing for simplified system integration. Optional communication protocols: Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, EthernetIP, Profinet, Modbus-TCP.
ANALOGUE INTERFACE
Allows for the control of the rectifier with an analogue PLC.
IOS
Adapter to easily access the output pins via a terminal block.
MULTI-TOWER CONNECTION
This function is available when rise and fall times faster than 1 second are critical for the production process. Done by a combination of software and a selection of electrical components. Recipe patterns can be followed by controlling the CPU to achieve a rise time and fall time of 1ms with no overshoot when using resistive loads.
COMM. ENCLOSURE
Metal enclosure to cover the comm outputs of the rectifiers. Does not apply to Vega.
OPERATING TEMP
Operating ambient temperatture up to 50 C with derating.
COOLING CIRCUIT IN COPPER
Water cooling system without aluminium parts. Enhanced reliability and robustness of the cooling system. Standard on Vega modules.
IP54
Upgrade from IP42 to IP54 for Q500B. For Vega, this is Standard.
IP65
IP65 - Polypropylene PP-s Flame Retardant - see examples in Q500 section.
FLOW SENSOR
Used to monitor supplied water flow and temperature. Can detect low water flow or over-temperature conditions and cut the output power to prevent damage to the rectifier. Measurements are available via the SCADA data map and can be monitored on the display of the Operator Panel. It is not available when using the integrated Heat Exchanger.
SOLENOID
An optional installation accessory that can be used to segregate the incoming water flow of the system. Prevents condensation when the rectifier is not in operation. It is not available when using the integrated Water to Water Heat Exchanger.
