Product introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/15 106M1079-01 is a high-reliability power supply module, serving as the backbone of the 3500 series machinery protection system. It provides stable 24V DC power to all interconnected modules, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical monitoring components in industrial environments.
Designed with redundancy and durability in mind, the 3500/15 106M1079-01 converts AC line voltage into clean, regulated DC power, eliminating noise and voltage fluctuations that could compromise sensitive equipment like the 3500/33-01-00 vibration monitoring module. Its hot-swappable design allows for maintenance without system shutdown, a critical feature for safety-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable.
As a foundational component, the 3500/15 106M1079-01 supports the entire 3500 ecosystem, from signal conditioners like the 3500/42M 140734-02 to operator interfaces such as the 3500/50 288062-02. Its robust protection mechanisms safeguard downstream modules from electrical faults, ensuring the integrity of the entire monitoring system in harsh industrial settings.
Core advantages and technical highlights
Redundant power delivery: The 3500/15 106M1079-01 supports N+1 redundancy, allowing multiple units to share the load. If one module fails, others automatically assume its power output—preventing system shutdowns that could leave machinery unprotected. This redundancy is critical for powering mission-critical components like the 3500/33-01-00, ensuring vibration monitoring continues even during power supply faults.
Hot-swappable design: The module can be replaced without powering down the 3500 series rack, minimizing maintenance-related downtime. This feature is invaluable when servicing systems monitoring rotating equipment in continuous processes, such as refinery compressors or power plant turbines, where shutdowns would incur significant production losses.
Comprehensive protection: Equipped with overvoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and overtemperature protection, the 3500/15 106M1079-01 shields downstream modules from electrical hazards. For example, it prevents voltage spikes from reaching the 3500/42M 140734-02 signal conditioner, which could corrupt vibration data or damage its precision components. This protection extends the lifespan of expensive monitoring equipment.
Wide input range and efficiency: The module accepts 100-240V AC input, making it suitable for global installations without voltage converters. Its >85% efficiency reduces power waste and heat generation, contributing to stable operation in temperature-constrained environments like control cabinets. This efficiency is particularly beneficial when powering multiple modules, as it minimizes thermal stress on the entire rack.
Typical application scenarios
In a nuclear power plant’s turbine hall, the 3500/15 106M1079-01 is deployed in a redundant configuration to power the 3500 series system monitoring the main turbine. Two modules share the load, ensuring the 3500/33-01-00 vibration monitor and 3500/25 125792-01 Keyphasor module receive uninterrupted power. During a scheduled maintenance window, one 3500/15 106M1079-01 is hot-swapped for inspection, with the remaining unit seamlessly supporting the system—avoiding the need for a turbine shutdown.
At an offshore oil platform, the 3500/15 106M1079-01 powers a 3500 series rack monitoring a gas compression train. Its wide input range accommodates the platform’s variable AC supply, while overvoltage protection shields the 3500/42M 140734-02 from voltage surges caused by generator fluctuations. The module’s rugged design withstands salt spray and temperature extremes, ensuring continuous power to the 3500/33-01-00, which triggers critical shutdowns during abnormal vibration events.
In a steel mill’s hot rolling facility, three 3500/15 106M1079-01 modules operate in parallel to power multiple 3500 series racks monitoring rolling mill stands. Their high efficiency reduces heat buildup in the cramped control cabinet, while short-circuit protection prevents faults in one rack from affecting others. When a mill stand’s 3500/33-01-00 detects excessive vibration, the 3500/15 106M1079-01 ensures it has the power to activate relays and stop the mill, preventing equipment damage.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
Installation preparation: Before installing the 3500/15 106M1079-01, ensure the 3500 series rack is powered off. The module occupies 2 consecutive slots; secure it with screws torqued to 0.6 Nm. Connect AC input wiring using 14-gauge stranded wire, ensuring proper grounding per local electrical codes. For redundant setups, connect each module to a separate AC source to maximize fault tolerance. Verify that the input voltage matches the module’s 100-240V AC rating.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the 3500/15 106M1079-01 monthly for loose connections or debris in the ventilation slots. Clean vents with compressed air if clogged. Test redundancy functionality quarterly by temporarily disconnecting one module in a redundant pair and confirming the remaining unit powers the rack—check that the 3500/33-01-00 and other modules continue operating without interruption. Replace modules approaching end-of-life (typically 5-7 years) during scheduled shutdowns, using hot-swap procedures to avoid downtime. Store spare units in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
