BERNARD ENGINEERING control panels are designed and manufactured to ensure the control of VARIVOLT and IVR from the primary breaker to the secondary load. BERNARD ENGINEERING supplies 2 solutions : MICVAR PANEL with PLC and BB CABINET without PLC
All digital and analog inputs are wired to a PCL which provides the following functions :
A colour touchscreen can be associated to the MICVAR
Control is based on relays without PLC nor numeric communications. The main functions are :
Safeties (Temperature, oil, gas, overcurrent) & Primary breaker control
A remote keyboard with pushbuttons light and a numeric measurement display can be associated to the BB cabinet.
The induction regulator is a CONTINUOUS REGULATOR LOADING the voltage or the current. Its design is close to that of an asynchronous motor with a wound rotor. It operates as a rotating field transformer in a power range from 30 kVA to 3,000 kVA.
Like an asynchronous motor with a wound rotor, it has a rotor and a stator. The rotation of + or - 180 ° of the rotor allows the variation of electric voltage. There is no moving contact and the simple design ensures high reliability.
The high intensity transformer can run until 50,000 Amperes and can be associated with a VARIVOLT in case of intensity of more than 10,000 Amperes. Each core leg is composed of several alternated elementary transformers. The high intensity transformer can also be used on trial platforms.
Specific studies on request.

The rectifier set is an element allowing to transform an alternative tension into continuous tension. This one is constituted by one or several bridges of diodes which we also call " bridge of Graetz ".
In our applications, the rectifier set is generally placed in the downstream of a Varivolt ® (transformer with variable voltage in load), which allows us to obtain a variable continuous supply.
This supply is generally low-voltage but can reach intensities of continuous 30.000 A.
without magnetic circuit or with air gap into the magnetic circuit.
An iron-core reactor having an additional control winding carrying direct current whose value is adjusted to change the degree of saturation of the core.
BERNARD ENGINEERING has developped a solution with VARIVOLT fixed in one container, 20’ or 40’ with primary protection and control command, in order to facilitate the installation, and allow the transport from site to site.
Application : Soil treatment, hydrogen production...
It includes the VARIVOLT, the primary protection cells, one or more auxiliary transformers, the control command, the retention tank. Just connect to the network and the application.
