High Power IGBT Rectification for Heavy Industry

The PE 5000 Series is designed and manufactured by Plating Electronic GmbH in Germany — one of the world's leading specialists in electrochemical power supply technology since 1987. It represents the top tier of IGBT rectifier capability for the most demanding high-current industrial applications.

With output current from 80A to well beyond 10,000A through custom cabinet configurations, the PE 5000 is engineered for large-scale electrowinning, industrial electroplating, green hydrogen electrolysis, and cathodic protection systems where continuous high-current output is essential.

Water cooling at high current ensures continuous duty operation in the harshest industrial environments. The sub-1% output ripple delivers superior deposit quality, and full Profinet IO/IRT, EtherCAT, and TCP/IP connectivity enables seamless integration with modern plant control systems.

High Power IGBT Technology

IGBT switching at high frequency dramatically reduces output ripple to <1% — far superior to SCR thyristor designs at 4–8%. At power levels up to 10,000A+, this directly improves deposit quality, grain structure, and reduces chemical bath degradation in heavy industrial applications.

02 Advanced Network Connectivity

Profinet IO/IRT, EtherCAT, TCP/IP, and PROFIBUS are all supported. Full SCADA and PLC integration — enables remote monitoring, data logging, alarms, and automated process control across large-scale industrial facilities.

03 Water Cooling at High Current

Water-cooled models (PE 5410-W, PE 5910-W) enable continuous high-current operation without derating. Essential for electrowinning, hydrogen electrolysis, and heavy plating where fan cooling cannot dissipate sufficient heat.

04 Polarity Reversal (PE 5910-W Rev)

Integrated polarity reversal enables pulse reverse plating directly from the rectifier — eliminates the need for external reversing contactors. Ideal for decorative chrome, PCB copper fill, and specialty alloy deposition.

05 Energy Efficiency

>93% efficiency at full load delivers 15–25% energy savings vs SCR thyristor designs. At high power levels, this translates to significant operating cost reductions — often $20,000–$50,000+ per year in electricity savings.

06 CE Certified & ERAC/RCM Compliant

All units carry CE marking, ISO 9001:2015, and full ERAC/RCM compliance to Australian electrical safety requirements. WorkSafe compliant — essential for industrial site insurance coverage.

Compatible Control Unit

pe280-FP Digital Control Unit

Programmable panel-mount control with 3-line LCD, CC/CV modes, ramp-up sequences, amp-hour timers, and RS485. Flush panel-mount (pe280-FP) designed for integration into custom PE 5000 cabinet builds.
