26 Operation

AC inrush current

The AC current during the turn on sequence of the rectifier, under all input and output conditions specified in this document, will not exceed its full load steady-state value.

Sequential start

The rectifier Temporary Release (TR) leads are available for use with an external sequential start circuit.

Parallel operation

The rectifier is capable of operating in parallel with other rectifiers having similar output slope characteristics.

Discharge of output capacitors

The output capacitors will automatically discharge when the rectifier is disconnected and the AC power has been removed.

Load sharing

Rectifiers connected in parallel and sensing at the same point will share the load with other rectifiers having similar negative output slope characteristics (300 mV drop from zero to full load).

The rectifier will share the load proportionally to its output rating to a precision within +10%.

Monitoring features

Input AC voltage monitor

The rectifier monitors the input voltage and inhibits its operation when the voltage exceeds the specified limits. Refer to the “Summary of Specifications” section, sub section Electric. An RFA is initiated.

The rectifier recovers its normal operation automatically when the specified input voltage is re-established.

Thermal shutdown

The rectifier protects itself against thermal overstress by inhibiting its operation for the duration of the high temperature condition. The RFA alarm is triggered. The rectifier will restart after the temperature has returned to a safe level.

On the other hand, the MPR15 series is designed for lower flow applications, providing precise pressure control in compact spaces. Despite its smaller size, it maintains excellent performance, featuring low droop characteristics that allow for consistent pressure output even with varying flow rates.

Both series incorporate advanced materials and sealing technologies to enhance their durability and resistance to harsh operating conditions. The body is commonly made from high-grade materials that ensure resistance to corrosion, allowing for longer service life and reduced maintenance needs. Additionally, the regulators feature easy-to-adjust set points, enabling operators to quickly adapt to changing process requirements.

Furthermore, the MPR25 and MPR15 series regulators are designed with safety in mind. They include built-in safety features to prevent over-pressurization, enhancing system protection and operator safety. The design also allows for easy installation and servicing, contributing to lower operational costs over time.

In summary, the Emerson MPR25 and MPR15 series pressure regulators stand out for their precision, durability, and efficiency. With their advanced diaphragm mechanism, robust construction, and user-friendly features, they meet the needs of a diverse range of industrial applications, ensuring reliable operation in every environment. Whether for high-demand or compact applications, these regulators are an excellent choice for maintaining the integrity and performance of pressure control systems.
