Formation Charger

Battery Plate Formation is an important process which directly affects the quality,capacity and life of Battery. This is an electrochemical reaction between the electrolyte (Sulfuric Acid) and the active material on the Battery Plates (lead oxide). For achieving quality plates it is important to ensure that the Formation Rectifier delivers reasonably smooth and Constant Current and the charging is terminated after predetermined quantum of electric charge (Ampere Hours) is passed through the Plates.

ELIND Thyristor (SCR) controlled Rectifiers deliver constant current DC with minimum AC ripple in the output which ensures better quality plates by preventing excessive heating of electrolyte.

Output voltage and current are precisely monitored on Digital meters. Micro Controller based digital Ampere Hour Controller / Digital Timer facilitates automatic termination of formation ensuring fully charged plates batch after batch (Avoids rejection of plates due to over / under charge)

ELIND Battery Plate Chargers are available in wide range of voltages and current ( 90 to 540 volts and 30 to 500 Amps ) to suit customers’ requirement.

ELIND Rectifiers are designed liberally to give long trouble free life. The transformer and DC filter are housed in steel tank designed for natural oil cooling and Rectifier devices are natural / forced air cooled. Units are protected against input Negative Phase Sequence / Phase fail and output overload and short circuit. HRC fuses on AC input and DC output provide general protection to Rectifier.

Micro Controller/PC based data acquisition system can be incorporated for monitoring and logging parameters like voltage, current, temperature etc at preset interval to ensure good quality of plates/batteries batch after batch
