S-FORMER-mini
S-FORMER-mini
Fuji Electric's highly reliable thyristor DC power supply unit is the fruit of our substantial expertise in large-current technology nurtured over the years. Select the most suitable design for your facility, based on the wealth of available options.
Features
High reliability
Our large-current rectifier (trade name: S-Former) technology, typically used for aluminum electrolysis, has been employed in small to medium capacity devices to achieve high-reliability design.
Rectifier unit
Configuration featuring a rectifier mounted on a transformer
260V DC, 26kA
Efficiency measurement by combination tests
Achieving high efficiency is critical for large-current rectifiers. We conduct combination tests of transformers and rectifiers to measure and verify efficiency before delivery.

Harmonic disturbance suppression
The harmonic disturbance incoming to a rectifier can occasionally cause problems. Multi-phase (12, 24, and 48 phases) rectification and harmonic disturbance suppression by harmonic filters for the entire systems can be applied, based on our abundant experience and substantial analysis.

Optical link between the control unit and the rectifier main unit
A control unit installed a distance away and an on-site rectifier can be connected via fiber optic cable, which facilitates changes in control constants from the distant location. The maximum distance between the control unit and rectifier is 100 meters, when utilizing the fiber optic cable.
Direct digital control unit (DDC)
In addition to standard analog type control units, direct digital control units are also available. The control constants of DDCs can be easily changed using an exclusive loader. In the unlikely event of a rectifier failure, each waveform can be stored and transmitted for failure analysis and prompt response.
Direct digital control unit
A redundant thyristor for parallel connection
A redundant thyristor element is available for parallel connection, which allows continued operation in the rare event of thyristor element failure an unexpected.
System coordination
Fuji Electric Systems has the capability to supply a total power conversion system, taking each customer's specific power system in to consideration to result in optimum performance. This includes both harmonic and power factor studies, as well as supply of all related equipment.
Remote control
Remote control systems for use with a control panel, PC, and POD are also available.
