Synchronous Motor Control Field Panels
CR 7069 Synchronous Motor Control Field Panels
Designed to replace existing synchronous motor exciters, whether ABB or other manufacturers’ models, ABB Synchronous field panels include state-of-the-art digital controls, long lasting SCR switching devices, communications, and many optional features. High quality hardware, solid experience with synchronous motor controls, and ABB installation service ensure high reliability, better controls, enduring productivity, and quick payback on upgrade investments. ABB Field Panels can be provided fully assembled in their own enclosures for faster installation and hook up, or as kits that ABB Engineering Services, OEMs, or other integrators may install into existing enclosures.
ABB Limitamp Synchronous Field Panels are offered for both brush and brushless synchronous motors. Both types of field panels are equipped with the GE Multilin SPM solid-state synchronous field application and protection module. The SPM replaces older discrete devices such as DC current and voltage relays, DC meters, etc.
More compact and reliable, the SPM controller provides digital synchronous motor control and protection functions including:
- Stator squirrel-cage type starting protection
- Power factor and pull-out running protection
- Field application control that maximizes pull-in torque (for brush-type machines only).
- Digital displays of motor running line current and power factor are featured along with a keypad for entering set-point parameters.
- Available options include field loss protection, exciter voltage check protection, field amps display, exciter volts display, incomplete sequence protection, and power factor regulation when used with compatible SCR type variable field exciters.
- Digital displays and motor status and electronic communications.
