1. DESCRIPTION
1.1
These LorafnG Rectifiers operate from 60 Hz three
phase input. to maintain a battery in a fully charged condi-
13
tion while powering a load. The Model RHMEWE50 Rec-
tifier can be operated from 480 VAC input power.
1.2 Float Charokra; This rectifier provides constant
output voltage; therefore, output current remains equal to
load current as long as load current does not exceed a
predetermined. adjustable value. This mode of operation
is known as float charging. Since, in normal operation,
