Low voltage disconnection "usually refers to the actions taken by the system to disconnect or cut off connections when the voltage drops to a set threshold in power or battery related systems, in order to protect equipment or achieve specific functions.
While converting AC to DC power of rectifier system, an LVD is a separate, protective device that can be integrated into systems that use rectifiers to charge batteries and loads. It prevents over-discharging of the battery, which can cause permanent damage and shorten its lifespan, and also protects sensitive equipment from operating on insufficient voltage. A low voltage disconnect is a safety feature that prevents the DC battery from being over-discharged. They are distinct but complementary components in many DC power systems, working together to maintain battery health and system reliability.
A rectifier's role is to convert AC power to DC power to charge a battery and supply a load.
An LVD works in conjunction with the rectifier, typically installed between the battery and the load.
During a power outage, the rectifier would not be providing power, and the battery would be supplying the load. The LVD would then protect the battery by disconnecting the load if the battery's voltage gets too low.
Battery Protection: Prevents deep discharge, which can damage batteries and shorten their lifespan.
Equipment Protection: Protects sensitive loads from damage caused by low voltage.
System Stability: Ensures that critical components remain functional when powered by the battery, even during extended power interruptions.
