Dual Output AC and DC Systems
Dual output AC and DC systems are regularly used in environments needing both alternating and direct power distribution. Numerous sectors such as manufacturing, telecoms, and essential infrastructure rely upon varied equipment — some drawing AC, others DC.
A dual AC and DC solution integrates both types of power delivery into a single platform, helping to minimise 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 configured 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 solution centralises conversion and power flow, streamlining equipment use and reducing redundancy.
Such solutions are ideal for telecoms, IT facilities, transport, and industrial locations where DC-powered equipment (like routers or transmitters) are used with AC-powered components like HVAC or lighting.
How It Works
The system draws power 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, thus improving efficiency and simplifying maintenance.
CE+T's solutions are modular, enabling engineers to customise them for present demand and scale up as requirements grow. This makes them suitable for organisations anticipating changes in layout or power loads.
Benefits
- Lower Complexity: Reduces the number of components, simplifying maintenance and improving 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, which lowers energy loss and supports stable performance.
- Cost Savings: Over time, lowered conversion and streamlined infrastructure lead to lower operational costs.

Where They Are Used
Telecoms networks benefit from reliable DC systems, while still needing AC to run auxiliary equipment. A combined system supports both.
Industrial facilities use AC for machinery and DC for controls. Dual systems allow for efficient energy management across both.
Transport hubs and public infrastructure rely on these setups for their dependable, 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 assess existing power infrastructure, identify integration points, and oversee transitions with minimal disruption.
Forward-Looking Power Strategy
Dual AC and DC systems offer a robust way to handle diverse power needs in a single architecture. By blending both supply types, they streamline infrastructure and support consistent operational performance, ready for future expansion or change.
