Description
The Bently Nevada 3500/15-02-02-00 is an AC Power Supply Module designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It provides the required power to the 3500 rack and its installed monitoring modules. The module is a dedicated rack power component rather than a measurement or monitoring card.
The 3500/15 power supply is installed in the left side of the 3500 rack and converts the incoming plant AC supply into the internal DC power required by the rack. The -02-02-00 configuration identifies a specific AC-input/output configuration and should be matched carefully when replacing an existing unit.

Typical Applications
- Steam turbine monitoring
- Gas turbine protection
- Compressor monitoring
- Pump and motor protection
- Generator monitoring
- Rotating machinery condition monitoring
- Bently Nevada 3500 rack systems
- Industrial machinery protection systems
Installation & Use
- Verify the complete part number — Confirm 3500/15-02-02-00 and compare the existing module’s nameplate before replacement.
- Check incoming AC voltage — Verify that the plant supply matches the power-supply configuration.
- Power down the rack — Follow the approved Bently Nevada maintenance procedure before removing the module.
- Inspect the rack — Check the power-supply connector, rack backplane, grounding, and ventilation.
- Install the module — Seat the power supply firmly in the designated 3500 rack position.
- Power-up inspection — Apply power and check the supply status indicators and rack power condition.
- System verification — Confirm that installed 3500 monitoring modules boot correctly and that no rack power or system alarms are present.
Replacement Notes
The 3500/15 is a critical rack-level power component. A visually similar 3500/15 with a different suffix should not automatically be treated as a direct replacement. Input voltage, power configuration, hardware revision, and rack requirements should all be checked before installation.
For a maintenance spare, I recommend listing the item using the full identification BENTLY NEVADA 3500/15-02-02-00 so buyers can match the exact configuration against their existing 3500 rack.
