The GALAXY Switchmode Rectifier 596D integrates the latest switchmode technology with superior power, protection, and control features in a compact, cost-efficient power-conversion system. It is the newest in the line of reliable 596 series switchmode rectifiers.

Designed as a key element in the Tyco Electronics GALAXY Power System (GPS) 4812/24 Battery Plants, the 596D rectifier converts ac input-voltage into the dc-voltage level required to power enduser equipment, as well as to float-charge batteries at precise voltage levels.

Operation over a wide temperature range (–40°C to +75°C) makes the 596D suitable for controlled and uncontrolled environments.

Benefits

	Compact, power-packed
	For high power density, Tyco Electronics’ revolutionary technology packs ever-greater power into ever-shrinking packages. The result is a rectifier that packs 9.2 w/in3, weighs just 20 lb. (9 kg), requires minimal maintenance, and frees up valuable floor space.
	Quick setup
	Installation is swift and straight-forward. Interconnections to ac-input, dc-output, and control signals are automatic during insertion. No adjustments or settings are required.
	Economical operation
	The 596D exhibits an excellent 0.98 power factor and high efficiency, thereby minimizing ac usage and contributing to highly reliable, low-cost operation.
	Extended service life
	For greater reliability and robust operation, the 596D features parallel operation with digital load sharing, which evenly balances the load current among multiple rectifiers in the event one fails or is removed from the system.
	Fail-safe performance
	Hot-insertion capabilities allow for rectifier replacement without system shutdown; softstart circuits and inrush control prevent upstream breakers from tripping. To avoid load or rectifier damage, the 596D is equipped with overvoltage/ overcurrent protection. A variable-speed fan maintains safe operation in –40°C to 75°C ambient temperatures. The 596D operates with or without batteries.
	Simplified control/monitoring
	A digital meter indicates current, temperature, or rectifier alarm messages for convenient system status. A microprocessor manages all internal alarm and state decisions, and, for more extensive monitoring and control capabilities, provides serial digital communication with the GALAXY family of controllers. Overall, the unit is easy to install with minimal labor, lowers typical operating and installation expense, and delivers the reliable high performance required by the most stringent telecommunication and data processing applications.
