Bently Nevada 3500/15-01-01-00 Power Supply Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/15-01-01-00 Power Supply Module is a high-performance power delivery unit engineered specifically for the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. Designed to ensure system reliability and operational continuity, this module provides AC power for all installed monitoring and communication modules within the 3500 rack.

Occupying the leftmost slot in the 3500 rack, this module acts as the primary source of regulated power. The 3500/15 module supports redundant power configurations, allowing an additional module to be installed in the rack for backup in case the primary supply fails. This model is commonly deployed in mission-critical rotating machinery monitoring systems, where equipment protection and real-time data collection are essential.

Its robust construction, wide operating temperature range, and high efficiency make it an ideal choice for use in hazardous industrial environments, such as oil & gas platforms, petrochemical plants, and power generation facilities.
