Überblick
The over-voltage protection unit is directly connected to one or two anti-parallel thyristors; the voltages across these thyristors are monitored.
If the voltage exceeds a defined value (peak value), the thyristor is caused to fire to reduce the voltage. When the overvoltage firing is inactive, an external 24 VDC signal can control the thyristor, which enables simple thyristor control. Thus, this unit is very well suited for protecting excitation devices from overvoltage.
