Description
Overview
The 3500/15-01-01-00 is a low-voltage AC power supply designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. This half-height module installs into the dedicated power supply section on the left side of the rack and delivers regulated operating power to all installed monitoring and communication modules.
The module operates together with a compatible Low-Voltage AC Power Input Module (PIM), accepting standard industrial AC input and converting it into stable internal DC voltages required by the rack system.
The 3500 rack supports either a single power supply configuration or a redundant arrangement with dual supplies. In redundant mode, the lower position functions as the primary supply while the upper position acts as the backup source. Power modules can be replaced during operation without shutting down the rack when redundancy is configured.

FAQ
Can the module operate in a redundant power configuration?
Yes. The 3500 rack supports dual power supplies for redundancy. If one module fails, the secondary supply automatically maintains rack operation.
Is the power supply hot-swappable?
The module can be inserted or removed without interrupting system operation when a second redundant supply is installed and active.
What input voltage does the module require?
The unit accepts 85–132 Vac RMS input with a nominal operating voltage of 110 Vac.
Which racks are compatible with this module?
The module is intended for use with Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System racks equipped with the corresponding low-voltage AC PIM.
