AC-DC RECTIFIERS (BATTERY CHARGERS) MAIN TYPES
Battery charging is a complex electric-chemical process, in which the discharged electric energy must be replenished from the electric AC network. The quality of the charging process is critical to the health and longevity of batteries. As a result, battery chargers play a key role in the life and performance of today’s industrial batteries.
A battery charger is an electrical/electronic device that converts the incoming AC line voltage into a regulated DC voltage to meet the charging needs of the respective battery. Today’s industrial battery charging market is broadly dominated by SCR type chargers, which have been in existence for many years but lately High Frequency (HF) battery charging technology is making head ways into the industrial battery charger markets. This is due to the higher efficiencies and smaller sizes and weights that a high frequency charger offers over SCR types.
SCR AC-DC Rectifiers
SCR battery chargers use SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) along with conventional transformers to regulate the charger output. Since the SCR switching action is controlled, SCRs provide more precise control of output voltage and can be easily interfaced with a microprocessor to implement various charging profiles. Furthermore, SCR chargers are less sensitive to line frequency variations (like Ferro-Resonant charger types that are now used much less as new SCR technology is improving and then not recommended in most critical applications) and work well with all types of batteries including sealed types.
One of the “limitations” of SCR controlled chargers is that they generate un-smoothed DC voltages resulting in higher ripple voltages and consequently higher ripple currents. These currents can cause additional battery heating especially at high charge rates (e.g. fast charging). However, new designs are adding special LC output filters to decrease significantly this disadvantage providing very low ripple voltages and currents.
SCR chargers operate at line frequencies (50/60Hz) and use a low frequency transformer for isolation and voltage step-down and thus are bulky and heavy. As using rectification techniques based in controlled SCR (basically diodes) the amount of SCR elements used in the rectification process will determine how much the input power factor and current THD input will be, but with better results in the power quality point of view, when more than 12-pulses (instead of standard 6-pulses) input AC rectification techniques are used.
So, SCR rectifiers are variable voltage DC power supplies that are low frequency, “significant” amplitude ripple systems. Their main advantages are that these systems are rugged and have a history of durability in the market with a number of worldwide customers having systems running after 40 or 50 years. They regulate and react steadily, carry a lot of power in big copper winding, and are fairly easy to troubleshoot with large, easy-to-identify components.
High Frequency (HF) AC-DC Rectifiers
A High Frequency AC-DC Rectifier-Battery Charger is a class of power supplies that incorporates fully controllable switching power devices, e.g. MOSFETs and IGBTs, and can thus operate at frequencies much higher than line frequencies (few kHz to 100’s of kHz). Unlike SCRs, which are half controlled devices with uncontrollable turn-off, MOSFETs and IGBTs can be fully turned on and off at any instant in time allowing for precise control of the charger output.
A typical High Frequency Rectifier-Battery Charger incorporates a front-end AC-DC rectifier to generate an un-regulated DC input voltage, a high frequency (HF) power converter that converts input DC input a high frequency AC voltage, a high frequency isolation transformer to provide output isolation as well as voltage step-down function, and an output rectifier and filtering stage to generate a smooth, very low ripple output DC voltage. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are the main ones generally employed to regulate the charger output, where the duty cycle of the switching power device (ratio of on-time to switching time) is controlled to guarantee the maximum output current and to keep constant the output DC voltage of the charger.
The main advantage of High Frequency Rectifier-Battery Chargers over SCR technology is the significant size and weight reduction of the isolation transformer and the subsequent improvement in energy transformation efficiency. Note that the size of an isolation transformer is inversely proportional to the operating frequency, i.e. the higher the operating frequency, the lower the transformer size. For example, a high frequency transformer operating at 60kHz is ideally 10,000 times smaller than a low frequency 60Hz transformer and is much more efficient.
However, High Frequency AC-DC Rectifier is the relative new kid on the block. Switch-modes are an electronic power supply that uses a switch from AC to DC, back to AC, then once again back to DC. This is all done at high frequency allowing for the internal parts to be smaller. They utilize a high primary voltage where typical 480VAC input units typically see 700VDC switching voltages inside the transformer. This makes failure a bit more destructive and violent due to smoke generation. But, with smaller parts, tighter winding, smaller footprints and an even tinier tolerance, these precision pieces of equipment offer great space efficiency per watt, modern computer interfaces and intuitive controls. Switch-modes have been around for roughly 40 years. Traditionally, they were used in smaller current applications and it wasn’t until 15-20 years ago that large-scale switch-modes were successfully deployed.
SCR vs High Frequency AC-DC Rectifiers
After explaining deeply each type of rectifier, we’d like to dispel a popular myth regarding HF vs SCR chargers:
Neither type of unit is better than the other. Both HF and SCRs perform almost identically well in electronic regulation, and technology and manufacturing techniques have allowed them to perform at similar level of process performance.
HF and SCRs rectifiers can both regularly regulate to the 1000th of a volt and even more, there is absolutely zero difference between them in their ability to withstand exposure to hard environments.
Essentially, HF units take up less real estate, smaller consumption of cooling resources and tend to, on average, perform the full range of operation at a higher electrical efficiency than SCR rectifiers. The lower you turn a SCR rectifier in voltage, the higher chance the machine will not convert AC to DC as efficiently as the same rated, competing switch-mode. When you increase the voltage in an SCR rectifier, the better chance it has of performing more efficiently than the same rated, performing switch-modes.
Furthermore, because it takes more switch-mode units to match the regular output amperage of an SCR, you now have more points of potential failure, but because the space savings provided by HF units, you can solve this issue implementing redundancy (N+1, N+X, etc) techniques that will guarantee the longest time operation without failure of the total system. SCR units also can be connected for redundancy operation but the installation processes to get reliability use to be more cumbersome and expensive with a lot more space needed for the total system.
On the other hand, one thing that customers should be aware of when it comes to HF units is the learning curve involved with these systems. The equipment is much smaller and has tighter arc paths with larger voltage potentials inside. The opportunity for a breakdown is different, and the equipment follows a different Preventative Maintenance path to keep it running. It is similar in how the maintenance on your sport car is different from the maintenance on your trusty diesel pickup truck. If your rectifier manufacturer forces you to carry a whole module rather than just the parts needed to fix a bad module, then this trend may not be true. It has nothing to do with one being better than the other, they are just a different tool to consider in your arsenal
HF vs SCR rectifiers have very different resource requirements. SCRs are more resource hungry both in footprint and real estate. SCR rectifiers require strong weight supporting platforms and wide installation spaces. Air cooled SCR rectifiers require room for forced air cooling to escape to. Water cooling SCR rectifiers require discharge to be waste treated. Sometimes the production real estate becomes expensive to support. There is no single point of access, so you need to be able to get three different angles to perform maintenance work on an SCR unit. If you can’t get into it, you can’t fix it if it breaks. You will need at least two feet around the unit so there is enough space for a technician to perform maintenance checks and complete repairs.
SCR parts are large, heavy, and costly. The parts used in SCR rectifiers are subject to long lead times and market trends. HF parts are smaller, easier to store due to their size, but also easier to misplace. It is typically easier to have spare switch-mode parts on your shelves due to their overall lower price and material cost. Switch-modes run at higher frequency, allowing a tighter configuration and smaller weight while delivering the same overall power as an SCR rectifier. Those smaller components tend to fail more frequently due to relative size when exposed to corrosive environments or moisture than the larger SCR componentry. So, for controlled temperature and humidity environments using HF units could be a best option but for most heavy industrial applications SCR type is still the way to go.
It does mean that the rate at which both SCR and HF rectifiers break down is much more dependent on environmental factors rather than in how the rectifier is used or the time that the machine is exposed to the environment. In fact, most than 90% of rectifier repairs are based on environmental abuse instead of equipment misuse, such as rack crashes, improper set-points, or corrosive exposure.

HIGH FREQUENCY (HF) AC-DC RECTIFIERS BATTERY-CHARGERS SOLUTIONS CUSTOMIZED DESIGN
The power supply of any telecom or industrial system forms the link between the national power AC supply (mains) and the DC loads or communication system itself. Therefore not only must it be matched to the parameters of the mains, but also fulfill the requirements of the system to be backed up and of the energy stores (batteries). This is achieved by transforming the voltage of the mains or standby power supply system, taking into consideration such requirements as magnitude, tolerance, purity, etc.
​
Our group has developed OEM-ODM agreements with recognized suppliers in Asia to provide customized the best quality proven High Frequency Rectifiers mainly in 24, 48, 110-125 and 220-240VDC volts. Here you will find some examples of the main units and configurations available for most applications in this area. It is mainly used in power plants, hydro-power stations, various substations, switch-gears and user substations, electric power, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery, paper making, building materials, textile, wine making and other fields.
48VDC-30ADC, Single Phase, Hot-Swappable Modules, Rack-Mounted
Operating Principle
AC power is first input AC-INPUT MCB and then feed into the rectifier module after lightning proof and filtering. AC-INPUT acts as protection to over load and short circuit to AC power. The user’s battery is connected to the DC output side through MCB BAT, and the circuit breaker provides disconnection control, over-load and short-circuit protection to the battery.
​
Normally, the monitoring module controls parameters for the rectifier module and power distribution unit. The system operates according to preset parameters or user commands. If the mains supply fails, the system switches to the battery for power supply. When the battery discharges electricity until its voltage falls below the low-voltage alarm threshold of 46V (configurable) for the upper device, the monitoring module reports an alarm message and turns off output load. The system stops working. When the mains supply resumes, the system returns to normal (you can reconfigure the above default monitoring data). The system provides a reduced power rate when the operating temperature reaches 55 Celsius degrees or above.
​
Additionally, the maximum power is obtained when input AC voltage is under -20% to +30% range approximately but the system is provided with “fuzzy range” feature letting you work for extended input AC voltages with less output power keeping the same features and protections.

CUSTOMIZED CABINETS DESIGN, HIGH FREQUENCY AND HIGHER POWER AC-DC RECTIFIER-BATTERY CHARGER
The Importance of Quality for Rectifier Cabinets
The real value in long-term care of your equipment starts with a good cabinet. if you can control the environment exposure while still cooling properly the equipment, you are great. When evaluating any type of rectifier, it’s critical to realize that not all cabinets are created equal. Our experience is offered to the customers to let them to share the opportunity to reach High Frequency Rectifier cabinets where all quality, safety and economical considerations have been already taken in to account to guarantee the best results when building your critical DC system.
Independently of the power requirements, High Frequency transistor-controlled rectifiers or also called modular switching mode power supplies, batteries, AC-DC distribution systems and optional protections as well as display monitoring systems and light indicators are combined in a very precise designed cabinets to form a “compact power supply system” which is usually installed near to the switching equipment it powers. The combination of all elements are not only done under physical, heat management and environment control point of view but also under economical considerations with the best high benefit/cost ratio to produce a compact and reliable power supply system.
Main Parts (Sections) of the Rectifier Cabinets
​
Basically, all cabinets we are able to provide for the most demanding projects are composed for the following items:
AC power distribution input
The AC system of the power cabinet provides AC power for the high-frequency switch rectifier module section and is usually protected with an AC Surge Protective Device (SPD).
​
High-frequency switch rectifier module
The high-frequency switch rectifier module section is the heart of the power cabinet. It is responsible for charging the battery, and, on the other hand, it supplies the normal working current to the DC loads. There is a monitoring board inside the charging module to monitor and control the operation of the module. Since the charging module itself has a CPU, the charging module can also operate independently from the monitoring module. A DC SPD is commonly provided to protect the DC bus-bar.
​
DC power distribution output
The DC system of the power cabinet provides DC power for the DC loads and battery bank section and is usually protected with an DC Surge Protective Device (SPD).

Monitoring system module
The monitoring system of the power cabinet is a man-machine interface with an LCD display. It is the bridge between the bottom module and the background management. It is the brain of the power cabinet. It is responsible for managing the charging modules and the power delivered to the DC loads, fault information, historical information records and others various parameters.

Insulation detection module
It is used to monitor the DC system voltage and its insulation. When the DC system has a decrease in insulation strength (220V DC voltage system is generally less than 25KΩ, 110V DC voltage system is generally less than 7KΩ just as examples), it is issued a sound and light alarm, and can find the corresponding branch number and corresponding resistance value.
​
Voltage regulator Dropping Diode chain module
When the DC power supply system balances the battery pack (boost charging mode), the output voltage of the charging module will be higher than the rated voltage value of the control circuit. At this time, a voltage regulator is needed to regulate the voltage to supply power to the control mother circuit. The Dropping Diode chain module is such a voltage regulating device, which can automatically and manually change the voltage provided to the DC loads then ensuring that the voltage of the DC-Load bus-bar is within the range. This device uses the P-N junction of the high-power rectifier diode to superimpose the forward voltage drop to generate the adjusted voltage drop. This method is reliable, impact resistant and easy to maintain.

​​Battery Bank
As the backup power supply of the DC system of the whole station, when the charging module stops working, the battery continuously supplies power to the DC-Load bus-bar. It is equivalent to a storage mechanism, which is the warehouse of the entire power cabinet. Everyone knows that AC power cannot be stored. Therefore, the power cabinet uses the battery bank to convert the DC power converted by the charging modules into chemical energy and then converted into electrical energy to power the DC loads. In the OEM Battery Projects section of this website you will find the best option to pair the rectifier technology chosen with the right battery technology.
Dropped Diode set
It reduces the output voltage of the rectifier and stabilize it at a certain fixed value when in boost or equalization charging and it has a better system efficiency with high reverse leakage current.
Operation
During normal operation when batteries are in float, the contactor is closed and output drop diodes are shorted. During boost or equalize charge, the contactor is open and a voltage drop over the diodes is maintained according to the customer’s specification.
During boost or equalize charge, all load current is flowing through the drop diodes and creates a power loss, which will generate heat.
Depending upon load output and design of voltage drop over the diodes, this power loss can exceed several kW.
The design of such a system incorporates heat dissipation, additional power from the rectifier for power loss over drop diodes and bulky drop diodes mounted on cooling plates.
