3.2 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 3.2.1 Output Types The RTDW can operate with three types of output converters: DCU, DDU or Direct. By default, the system used is the DCU, allows a more precise and effective control of the consumer voltage. 3.2.1.1 DCU Converter (Default Configuration) The DCU system is based on the use of a DC/DC converter to regulate the output voltage.
Page 14
Note: This circuit is disabled in RTDW models that have positive or negative terminals grounded. The RTDW has electronics with dual power supply and a supervisory system that operate redundantly, providing even greater protection to the consumer's power supply in case of failure.
If it is desirable to determine how each rectifier will operate: taking full load or remaining in standby, it is possible to adjust the output voltage of the individual DCU in each RTDW. To do that, it is necessary to maintain a voltage difference greater than three volts in relation to the other rectifiers in parallel.

Operation The RTDW has a dedicated temperature sensor that must be installed at the battery bank. This sensor signals to the system control the proper levels of thermal compensation to be applied to the float voltage of the battery bank, according to the design/manufactures’ parameters, configurable via Modbus and that can be viewed in Table 6.3 on page...
Once the disconnection time is over, the contactor will immediately open and if the product has no power supply, the RTDW will be completely turned off (including all electronics) and will remain in this condition until the AC power supply is reestablished for a new charging process of the battery bank or when the system is restarted using the "DC-Start"...
Note: The Supervisory System is only available on models with DCU. Operation When an event that compromises the specified output voltage occurs, the RTDW activates the bypass and connects the rectifier/battery to the consumer’s output. The Supervisory System is composed of two output voltage protection levels: the first one by means of the control itself, and the second one via dedicated circuit, ensuring even more robustness to the RTDW.
