Description
Product Description
The Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 is a full-width 19-inch industrial rack chassis developed for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It functions as the mechanical and electrical backbone for all system modules, providing structured housing, integrated power distribution, and internal communication routing across the platform.
This chassis is designed to accommodate monitoring modules, relay cards, communication interfaces, Keyphasor modules, and power supply units within a unified rack architecture. It supports continuous-duty operation in industrial environments where system stability and modular scalability are required.
The configuration code “01-03-00-00-00” defines a standard full-size rack design with factory default mechanical and backplane layout.
