BENTLY NEVADA 3500/15 Power Supply Module
1. Product Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 3500/15 is a high-reliability power supply module designed for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System, ensuring stable operation of rotating machinery in critical industrial environments. This module supports global voltage compatibility (AC: 85–264 VAC, DC: 20–140 VDC) and features redundant power capacity, allowing seamless failover between primary and backup supplies. Its hot-swap capability enables maintenance without system shutdown, reducing downtime. The 3500/15 is backward-compatible with select legacy components but requires careful compatibility checks for mixed configurations.
