Series
The 3500/92-04-01-00 136180-01 is part of the Bently Nevada 3500 series, a comprehensive suite of machinery protection and condition monitoring solutions. The 3500 series includes modular components such as vibration monitors, communication modules, I/O modules, and power supplies, all engineered for seamless integration. Renowned for scalability, redundancy, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., API 670), the series is trusted worldwide to protect critical rotating machinery in sectors like power generation, oil & gas, and chemical processing. The 3500/92 power supply modules enhance the series by providing reliable, redundant power—essential for maintaining system integrity in harsh industrial environments.
Features
Dual Redundant Channels
Two independent power channels with automatic failover ensure continuous power delivery; if one channel fails, the second channel assumes full load without interruption, minimizing downtime risk.
Wide Input Voltage Range
100–240 VAC input compatibility supports global deployment, adapting to varying facility power standards in different regions and industries.
Comprehensive Protection Mechanisms
Overload, short-circuit, and over-voltage protection shield 3500 system modules from electrical faults, preventing damage to sensitive monitoring components.
Hot-Swappable Design
Channels can be replaced without powering down the system, enabling maintenance during operation and reducing unplanned downtime.
High Efficiency and Stability
85% efficiency reduces energy waste, while tight output voltage regulation (±0.5 VDC) ensures stable power for accurate sensor and module operation.
Function
The primary function of the 3500/92-04-01-00 136180-01 is to supply regulated, redundant 24 VDC power to all modules in the 3500 system rack. It converts incoming AC power from the facility into clean DC power, filtering out electrical noise to ensure stable operation of sensitive components like vibration sensors and communication modules. Its redundant design eliminates single points of failure: both channels operate in parallel under normal conditions, and if one fails, the other automatically ramps up to full load. Built-in protection features detect electrical anomalies and isolate faults, preventing cascading failures within the 3500 system.
Use
In industrial settings, the module is installed in the bottom slot of the 3500 system rack, where it connects to facility AC power via dual inputs (for redundancy). It distributes 24 VDC power to all rack-mounted modules, including vibration monitors, speed sensors, and communication interfaces. LED indicators on the front panel provide real-time status of each channel, allowing operators to quickly identify faults. During maintenance, faulty channels can be hot-swapped to restore full redundancy without interrupting system operation, ensuring continuous machinery protection.
Application Fields
Power Generation
Provides redundant power to turbine, generator, and pump monitoring systems in coal, gas, and nuclear power plants, ensuring uninterrupted protection of assets critical to electricity production and grid stability.
Oil and Gas
Powers compressor, pipeline pump, and gas turbine monitoring modules in upstream drilling, midstream transportation, and downstream refining operations, supporting safe hydrocarbon processing in harsh, remote environments.
Chemical Processing
Supplies stable power to reactor, mixer, and centrifuge monitoring systems, withstanding corrosive atmospheres and temperature fluctuations to prevent process disruptions.
Pulp and Paper
Delivers reliable power to paper machine roller and motor monitoring modules, maintaining consistent operation of condition monitoring systems to optimize production efficiency.
Metals and Mining
Withstands rugged conditions in mining operations to power crusher, conveyor, and mill drive monitoring systems, ensuring uninterrupted protection of critical mining equipment.
In summary, the Bently Nevada 3500/92-04-01-00 136180-01 is a vital redundant power supply module that underpins the reliability of the 3500 Machinery Protection System. Its redundant design, robust protection features, and global compatibility make it essential for industries where uninterrupted machinery monitoring is critical to safety, productivity, and operational efficiency.
