Construction of American Plating Power SCR Water Cooled Rectifier – MTW Series
The American Plating Power SCR Water Cooled Rectifier – MTW Series features a robust and durable construction, designed for industrial environments. The power supply is integrated into a sealed cabinet, with a rugged steel frame and a corrosion-resistant enclosure that ensures longevity even in harsh conditions.
The water cooling system is specifically designed to maximize cooling efficiency, ensuring that the rectifier operates at optimal temperatures. Cooling water removes over 90% of the heat generated by the rectifier through the internal heat exchangers, maintaining consistent performance under heavy loads. All internal conductors, including transformer windings, are made of copper, offering maximum efficiency and reliability in demanding industrial applications.
