10. Phase Controlled VS Switch Mode
Switch Mode Technology
With reference to Diagram 1:
A typical switch-mode rectifier consists of:
Front end rectifier:
This converts the mains typically from 240V to 340VDC (max).
Power factor correction stage:
This is essentially a DC-DC converter which converts 340V to
approx. 450VDC.
Phase Controlled Technology
With reference to Diagram 2:
A typical phase-controlled rectifier consists of:
Input Transformer:
This steps down the input mains to a voltage close to the
required DC output. Say for a typical 48V DC system, the
transformer output is 70VAC.

11. Phase Controlled VS Switch Mode
PWM stage: This chops the 450VDC at high frequency
(typically 25-40kHz) and alters the mark/space ratio. This is
typically performed by a transistor.
High frequency transformer: To isolate the input mains to low
voltage output, a small, high frequency ferrite transformer is
used. This is the main cost saving compared to a phase-
controlled rectifier which uses a 50Hz transformer.
Output rectification: The high frequency pulses out of the
transformer are rectified and the resultant DC is further
smoothed using electrolytic capacitors.
Total conversion stages: 5
Thyristor Bridge: This converts the transformer output
into a controlled DC voltage.
Total conversion stages: 2
The main advantage Switch Mode
rectifiers have is that they are
smaller and lighter (mainly due to
high frequency rectification) and
cost less than their phase-controlled
counterparts. They also have hot
swappable capability.

12. Phase Controlled VS Switch Mode
Pros & Cons
Phase controlled
technology has a much
higher service life. In a
typical substation
application a phase-
controlled rectifier/charger
can last 25-30 years.
Functionality
& Features
Magellan phase
controlled MCRII
charger/rectifiers have
the same functionality
and features as Magellan
switch-mode
charger/rectifiers as
these functions are
supplied by the controller
which is common
between the two
technologies.
Input / output
Power Quality
Switch-mode technology
has a much higher input
power factor than
phase-controlled
technology.
Both switch-mode and
phase-controlled
rectifiers can have low
output ripple content.
Size & Weight
Switch mode is smaller
and lighter, but this may
not be an advantage
when combined with a
battery bank as the
battery is the heavy &
bulky component.
Reliability
/ Durability
Phase controlled is much
more reliable. It has two
power conversions compared
to five for switch-mode. In its
basic form a phase-
controlled rectifier can work
reliably for 40 years. It can
operate in a dusty
environment at a much higher
temperature and humidity.
Due to its input transformer, a
phase-controlled DC system
has a higher tolerance
of electrical noise and input
voltage transients/spikes.
A thyristor used in a phase-
controlled rectifier is
physically larger and more
rugged than a transistor used
in a switch-mode rectifier.
Service life

13. Industrial AC Power

14. Why Magellan Industrial UPS?
• You cannot expect long, reliable service life from your
back-up power system if it is not built for the dust, dirt
and extreme heat and humidity of the Australian
outback.
• Magellan Power’s systems are designed for these
inhospitable environments and are built to last 25 years
with maintenance.
This is what can happen when you use a
commercial UPS for an industrial application:

operate independently of the
grid and are designed to
supply reliable electrical load to
the desired application (home,
farm, mining camp etc).
