Abstract
An apparatus may include a chassis, at least two wheels, and an equipment enclosure that includes an alternating current power source input, at least one direct current output bus, a plurality of rectifiers having an output capacity exceeding 800 amperes, where the plurality of rectifiers is coupled to the alternating current power source input and the at least one direct current output bus, and a plurality of electrical cables for connecting to the at least one direct current output bus, where a total length of the plurality of electrical cables exceeds 800 feet.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a chassis;
- at least two wheels;
- and
- an equipment enclosure comprising:
- an alternating current power source input;
- at least one direct current output bus;
- a plurality of rectifiers having an output capacity exceeding 800 amperes, wherein the plurality of rectifiers is coupled to the alternating current power source input and the at least one direct current output bus;
- and
- a plurality of electrical cables for connecting to the at least one direct current output bus, wherein a total length of the plurality of electrical cables exceeds 800 feet.
A method comprising:
- deploying a rectifier response unit to a site of at least one direct current power plant, the rectifier response unit comprising:
- a chassis;
- at least two wheels;
- an equipment enclosure;
- an alternating current power source input;
- at least one direct current output bus;
- a plurality of rectifiers having an output capacity exceeding 800 amperes, wherein the plurality of rectifiers is coupled to the alternating current power source input and the at least one direct current output bus;
- and
- a plurality of electrical cables, wherein a total length of the plurality of electrical cables is at least 800 feet;
- coupling at least a first portion of the plurality of electrical cables to the at least one direct current output bus and to at least one battery bus of the at least one direct current power plant having a battery capacity in excess of 800 amperes;
- and
- coupling at least a second portion of the plurality of electrical cables to the at least one battery bus and to at least one return bus associated with the plurality of rectifiers.
