Dual Output AC and DC Systems
Dual output AC and DC systems are frequently used in facilities needing both alternating and direct power supply. Various sectors such as industrial, telecommunications, and essential infrastructure make use of varied equipment — some requiring AC, others DC.
A dual AC and DC system integrates both types of power delivery into a single platform, helping to minimise complexity while enhancing control and power coordination.

Alan Campbell Engineering Services partners with CE+T Power to deliver and maintain dual AC and DC solutions across the United Kingdom. These systems are configured for sites prioritising uptime, space efficiency, and scalable adaptability.
Understanding a Dual Output AC and DC System
This system delivers alternating and direct current through a integrated platform. Instead of operating individual inverters and rectifiers, the system centralises conversion and power flow, simplifying equipment use and cutting redundancy.
These are well-suited to telecoms, IT facilities, transport, and industrial locations where DC-powered equipment (like routers or transmitters) are used with AC-powered systems like HVAC or lighting.
How It Works
The setup draws energy from the mains, batteries, or alternative inputs and delivers it to both AC and DC outputs. All conversion processes occur within the same unit, avoiding the need for multiple converters, enhancing performance and simplifying maintenance.
CE+T's systems are modular, enabling engineers to adapt them for present demand and expand as site needs grow. This makes them suitable for organisations anticipating changes in layout or electrical requirements.
Benefits
- Lower Complexity: Cuts down on the number of components, simplifying maintenance and enhancing system reliability.
- Space-Saving: Housing AC and DC conversion in one unit reduces cabinetry needs, particularly useful in space-constrained locations.
- Improved Efficiency: Minimises unnecessary conversion steps, reducing energy loss and supports stable performance.
- Cost Savings: Over time, reduced conversion and simplified infrastructure lead to lower operational costs.

Where They Are Used
Telecoms networks require reliable DC systems, while still needing AC to run auxiliary equipment. A combined system facilitates both.
Industrial facilities use AC for production and DC for controls. Dual systems enable efficient energy management across both.
Transport hubs and utilities rely on these setups for their stable, adaptable power delivery standards.
Integration and Support with ACES
Alan Campbell Engineering manages installation, commissioning, and ongoing servicing of CE+T’s dual output systems. From design through to upgrades, their team ensures that each solution aligns with the specific needs of the site.
They evaluate existing power infrastructure, identify integration points, and oversee transitions with minimal disruption.
A Practical Approach
Dual AC and DC systems present a robust way to manage diverse power needs in a single architecture. By blending both supply types, they simplify infrastructure and support consistent operational performance, ready for future expansion or change.
