Power Supply RU3423 — 220VAC→24VDC 7A Converter, FAR Series Radar Power Supply

The FURUNO RU3423 power supply is an AC-to-DC converter designed to provide stable power to marine electronic systems, particularly FURUNO radars.

Its primary function is to rectify an AC input voltage (ranging from 100V to 230V) to deliver a regulated 24V DC output with a maximum current of 7 amps. It thus provides a continuous and reliable power supply, essential for the proper operation of navigation radar systems.

The FURUNO RU3423 power supply unit is flexible and accepts a range of AC input voltages, including 100V, 110V, 115V, 120V, 220V and 230V. This provides high flexibility for various onboard electrical configurations.

The FURUNO RU3423 provides a regulated 24 V DC output with a maximum current of 7 A. This output ensures that radars and other connected devices receive the power required for optimal performance.

The RU3423 is compatible with various FURUNO radar series, including the FAR series, as well as the MODEL1935/MODEL1945, Model 1824C, and Model 1834C models. It is also listed as an option for the FAR-15x8 series.

The RU3423 power supply is specifically designed and optimized for FURUNO radar systems. It is recommended to use it with the equipment for which it is intended to ensure compatibility and performance.

The FURUNO RU3423 is an AC/DC converter (alternating current to direct current). It takes an AC input (e.g., 220V AC) and converts it to a DC output (24V DC).

A dedicated power supply ensures a stable and clean power source, free from fluctuations that could affect the performance or lifespan of sensitive equipment such as radars. The RU3423 is designed to meet the specific requirements of FURUNO radars, ensuring their proper operation at sea.

The 7-amp (7A) output current indicates the power supply’s maximum capacity to deliver energy to connected devices. This value is specifically sized to meet the power requirements of compatible FURUNO radars, ensuring their optimal operation even under full load.

No, the FURUNO RU3423 power supply is a voltage converter designed to directly power electronic equipment, primarily radars. It is not a battery charger and must not be used for that purpose.

The electrical installation of a device such as the RU3423, which manages AC and DC voltages, requires knowledge of marine electrical systems. It is strongly recommended to use a qualified professional to ensure correct and safe installation, compliant with current standards.

The RU3423 power supply requires connections for the AC input and the DC output that will power the radar. The exact details of the terminal blocks and wiring are typically specified in the product's installation manual.

No, the FURUNO RU3423 power supply delivers a fixed 24 V DC output voltage. If your radar requires 12 V DC power, this unit will not be suitable and could damage the equipment. It is essential to always verify the voltage requirements of your device.

To verify exact compatibility, consult the technical documentation of your FURUNO radar or the RU3423 user manual. You may also contact FURUNO technical support or your dealer, providing the exact model of your radar.

Yes, technically, the FURUNO RU3423 power supply is a rectifier. A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically changes direction, into direct current (DC), which flows in a single direction. This is precisely the function of the RU3423.

The maximum power output of the RU3423 can be calculated by multiplying the output voltage by the output current. With a 24V DC output and a maximum current of 7A, the maximum power is 168 Watts (24V * 7A = 168W).

During installation, it is essential to respect DC polarity for connections, use cables of appropriate cross-section for the currents involved, and ensure proper grounding. Any installation must be performed with the power off to avoid electrical hazards and ensure safety.

Yes, as a FURUNO product designed for marine radar systems, the RU3423 is built to operate in the demanding environment of vessels. This includes a robust design suited for marine conditions.

Yes, the FURUNO RU3423 power supply is designed to accept a wide range of AC input voltages, including 110V. It will convert this voltage into a stable 24V DC output for your equipment.
