KYB Americas’ rectifier modernization project was recognized as a 2026 Better Project through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings & Better Plants Initiative.
The project replaced 14 aging SCR rectifiers with modular switch-mode power supplies, delivering more than $490,000 in annual profit improvements, over 1,720 MWh in annual energy savings, and an operational-efficiency improvement of more than 25%.
KYB Americas replaced 14 aging SCR rectifiers with modular switch-mode power supplies to improve reliability, energy performance, and plating consistency.
Aging rectifiers created higher energy use, maintenance concerns, and the risk of multi-day outages.
Fourteen SCR units were replaced with ACRS modern modular switch-mode power supplies.
The upgrade improved plating quality, reliability, productivity, and overall operating efficiency.

KYB’s results show how rectifier modernization can improve much more than energy efficiency. Replacing aging SCR systems can help reduce downtime, improve plating quality, simplify service, and create a measurable financial return.
American CRS can help evaluate your existing power system and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reliability, and long-term operating performance.
