Tyco Electronics Galaxy SC Controller J85501F-1
3 - 4 Installation Issue 13 February 2001
Mixing Types of
Rectifiers
Galaxy SC allows mixing certain ferroresonant parallel rectifiers with
the newer 595A series and 595B series 200 ampere switchmode (SMR)
serial rectifiers. Some important restrictions apply.
To handle both types of rectifier, Galaxy SC must be equipped with both
parallel (BJC1 and/or BJC2) and serial (BJC3) rectifier interface boards.
Authorized ferro rectifiers include Tyco J85502B and C, all series,
200A; J85503A, B2, C2 and C3, 400A; RL200D50; RL400D50;
MPR200; SR50; SR150, and J87439A 200A.
Follow the instructions below carefully, especially in designating the
rectifiers by number when configuring them.
1. Each parallel interface card required by the ferros can
accommodate up to 8 rectifiers. These positions, numbers 1
through 8, are reserved for ferros, whether they are used or not.
Thus, if only 6 ferro rectifiers are installed, position numbers 1
through 8 are still dedicated to ferros, and the numbering of the
serial rectifiers begins with 9. If 12 ferros are installed, position
numbers 1 through 16 are dedicated to ferros, and the numbering
of the serial rectifiers begins with 17.
