Dual Output AC and DC Systems for Modern Power Requirements
Dual Output AC and DC Systems
Dual output AC and DC systems are commonly used in locations that require both alternating and direct current supply. Various sectors such as industrial, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure depend on different equipment — some drawing AC, others DC.
A dual AC and DC solution integrates both types of power delivery into a centralised platform, designed to reduce complexity while improving management 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 developed for sites prioritising reliability, space efficiency, and future-proof adaptability.
What is a Dual Output AC and DC System
This configuration delivers both AC and DC power through a integrated platform. Instead of operating individual inverters and rectifiers, the system centralises conversion and power flow, streamlining equipment use and reducing redundancy.
Such solutions are ideal for telecoms, data centres, transport, and industrial environments where DC-powered equipment (like routers or transmitters) are used with AC-powered systems like HVAC or lighting.
How It Works
The system draws power from the mains, batteries, or alternative sources 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 solutions are modular, enabling engineers to adapt them for present demand and expand as requirements grow. This makes them ideal for organisations anticipating changes in layout or electrical requirements.
Key Advantages
- Lower Complexity: Cuts down on the number of components, simplifying maintenance and enhancing system reliability.
- Space-Saving: Housing AC and DC distribution in one unit reduces cabinetry requirements, particularly useful in space-constrained locations.
- Improved Efficiency: Minimises unnecessary conversion steps, reducing energy loss and enables stable performance.
- Cost Savings: Over time, reduced conversion and simplified infrastructure lead to lower operational costs.

Where They Are Used
Telecoms providers require reliable DC for core operations, while still needing AC for auxiliary equipment. A combined system supports both.
Industrial facilities use AC for production and DC for controls. Dual systems allow for 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 handles 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 project.
They assess existing power infrastructure, identify integration points, and oversee transitions with minimal disruption.
A Practical Approach
Dual AC and DC systems offer 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.
