Tenant Current, Watts and a Rectifier with Built-in RMS
September 7, 2026 · 2 min read
Shared towers need to know which tenant is drawing current. SARBS puts that data, and remote monitoring, in the rectifier itself.
A shared tower becomes an argument when the power bill arrives and nobody can say who added a radio. SARBS treats measurement as a feature of the rectifier, not as a second box somebody might forget to wire.
What the rectifier can show
The product note lists four things operators ask for on day two. The module is universal. Current and watts can be shown tenant by tenant. The display can show different battery information, so a technician sees state rather than guessing from the radio alarms. And the remote monitoring system can be built in with the rectifier.
Built-in matters. A monitoring path that ships inside the power system is more likely to be commissioned with the site, and more likely to still be talking a year later. SARBS also keeps a research line called iThink under research and development, which is the company’s longer look at remote monitoring.
What good data changes
- Shared sites can split energy by tenant instead of by guesswork.
- A battery that is sliding shows up before the site drops.
- A truck is sent when the numbers say so, not on a fixed day that misses the fault.
If the rectifier is being specified now, ask for the RMS option in the same order. Retrofitting alarms after acceptance is slower than ticking the box while the 54V plant is still on the drawing.
