Darrex Air
DARREX AIR™ is a drop in replacement Air Cooled Three Phase Diode Bridge and 5-Pole Disconnect Switch for the aging GE Alterrex™ water cooled excitation systems.
The Diode Bridge and Switch are state of the art designs that directly mount to the original equipment cubicle (doghouse) using existing mounting rails and A.C. and D.C. bus bars.
The DARREX AIR™ conversion eliminates the maintenance, reliability and safety issues associated with existing water cooled diode rectifier bridges while meeting and exceeding D.C. voltage and current requirements.
