Our current source converters are robust devices designed for continuous drive operation with speed-control or as soft-starter converters for large synchronous machines.
By using proven thyristor technology and simple, compact device construction, we achieve the highest levels of availability while keeping required maintenance to a minimum.
Characteristics
Max. rated voltage: 10 kV |
Max. rated current: 1 kA |
Applications: Synchronous machines |
Suitable for: short-term or continuous operation |
Operation
Medium-voltage power converters can be controlled remotely. A variety of communications protocols are available, or, alternately, a galvanic interface can be used.
Parameters can be conveniently adjusted with a web-browser panel.
Signal lamps mounted on the control compartment access panel provide rapid feedback on system status.
For commissioning, service, and diagnosis, a display panel is integrated into the access panel of the control compartment for a user-friendly visualization of operational modes and chronology.
Operator protection
Separate low-voltage compartmentA dedicated low-voltage compartment for system control is completely sealed off from the medium-voltage equipment. Access of this compartment is possible during operation. |
Galvanic isolationIsolation is provided between the high-power equipment and controls via fiber-optic connections. |
Latching push-knobsPrevent inadvertant opening of access panels. |
Type-tested enclosure systemThe power equipment is housed in type-tested medium-voltage enclosures. |
Emergency stopMounted externally and on the compartment access panel. |
Access panel monitoringEmergency stop when the panel is opened. |
Options
Further options are available on request.
Integrated machine protection |
Modular switch panels |
Expandable field automation, machine monitoring |
Extended user controls for singular installations or drive groups, up to and including the supervisory SCADA system |
Communications interfaces PROFINET, MODBUS TCP, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, etc. |
