BENTLY 125800-01

Description

Product Description

The BENTLY 125800-01 is a fundamental power supply module engineered for the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery condition monitoring and protection system. This module serves as the primary source of conditioned and regulated power for the entire rack, converting the raw incoming plant DC supply into the precise and clean voltage levels required by the sensitive monitoring and communication modules within the 3500 chassis. The reliable operation of every transducer, monitor card, and relay in the system is contingent upon the stable output of the 125800-01. As a critical component in safety-related systems, this power supply is designed with redundancy capabilities, allowing it to be paired with a second unit to create a fault-tolerant power system that ensures continuous monitoring even in the event of a single power supply failure. Implementing the Bently Nevada 125800-01 is essential for maintaining the integrity and availability of the machinery protection system.

Product Parameters

• Module Type: System Power Supply Module

• Compatible System: Bently Nevada 3500 Rack System

• Input Voltage Range: Typically 18-32 V DC (Nominal 24 V DC) or 90-140 V DC (Nominal 125 V DC). The exact variant must be specified to match plant supply.

• Output Voltages: Provides all necessary DC voltages (e.g., +5V, ±12V, ±15V) to the 3500 rack backplane.

• Output Power: Rated to supply a fully populated 3500 rack, including all monitoring modules, a relay module, and a communication gateway.

• Redundancy Support: Can be installed as a single power supply or as part of a redundant pair (with another 125800-01) for high-availability applications.

• Mounting: Occupies one of the dedicated power supply slots on the left side of the 3500 rack.

• Status Indicators: Comprehensive LED indicators for AC Power OK, DC Power OK, and Supply Fault.

• Isolation: Provides galvanic isolation between the input power source and the internal rack electronics for safety and noise immunity.

• Operating Temperature: 0°C to +65°C.

Advantages and Features

• High Reliability & Availability: The BENTLY 125800-01 is designed for continuous, uninterrupted operation. Its support for redundant configuration is critical for API 670-compliant systems where power supply failure cannot lead to loss of protection.

• Exceptional Noise Immunity: Advanced filtering and regulation ensure that electrical noise from the plant power source is not transmitted to the sensitive analog monitoring circuits, preserving signal integrity for accurate vibration and position measurements.

• Hot-Swappable Design: In a redundant configuration, a failed 125800-01 module can be replaced without powering down the entire 3500 rack, ensuring zero interruption in machinery protection.

• System-Wide Protection: The power supply includes internal protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse polarity, safeguarding all downstream modules in the expensive 3500 system.

• Seamless Integration: As a genuine Bently Nevada component, it guarantees perfect mechanical fit, electrical compatibility, and correct operation with all other 3500 series modules and the rack’s backplane.

Application Cases in Various Fields

• Gas Turbine Power Plants: A redundant pair of 125800-01 modules powers the 3500 rack monitoring a turbine-generator set, ensuring that a single power supply fault does not jeopardize the protection system during high-value operation.

• Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms: Used in the critical compressor monitoring systems where reliable 24V DC power is available, and the clean, regulated output from the Bently Nevada 125800-01 is mandatory for accurate data in an EMI-heavy environment.

• Ethylene Crackers & Petrochemicals: Provides reliable power to 3500 systems monitoring large turbocompressors, where continuous operation is essential for process safety and economic efficiency.

• Pipeline Compression Stations: Ensures the continuous operation of machinery protection systems for remote, unattended stations, where power quality may be variable and system reliability is paramount.

Comparisons with Competing Products

1. Genuine vs. Third-Party or Refurbished: Generic 24V DC power supplies lack the specific form factor, backplane pinout, redundancy communication logic, and most importantly, the certified performance and noise filtration required for a machinery protection system. Using non-genuine units can introduce risk and void system certifications.

2. Integrated System Design vs. Discrete Components: The BENTLY 125800-01 is an integral part of a fully engineered system. Competing monitoring systems from other vendors (e.g., Emerson, Schenck) have their own proprietary power modules. The 125800-01 is not interchangeable and is the only recommended choice for maintaining a 3500 system’s designed reliability and safety integrity.

3. Performance Focus: Compared to a standard PLC power supply, the 125800-01 is engineered to a higher standard with a focus on analog signal integrity and high availability, which are non-negotiable in critical machinery protection.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Verify Input Voltage Specification: The single most important selection criterion is matching the input voltage of the 125800-01 (e.g., 24V DC or 125V DC) to your plant’s available supply. An incorrect match will damage the unit.

2. Mandatory Redundancy for Critical Machines: For machinery where an unmonitored condition poses severe safety or economic risk, always implement a redundant power supply configuration with two BENTLY 125800-01 modules.

3. Use Proper Circuit Protection: The plant power feed to the power supply must be protected with a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker as specified in the 3500 installation manual. Input wiring should be sized correctly.

4. Monitor Status Religiously: The LED status indicators on the 125800-01 should be included in routine operator rounds. In a redundant system, a fault LED on one unit is an immediate maintenance call-to-action, not an alarm.

5. Spare Part Strategy: For facilities with multiple 3500 racks, keeping at least one spare BENTLY 125800-01 module (of the correct input voltage) is a best-practice maintenance strategy to minimize system downtime during a failure.
