IMB
ABB’s oil minimum instrument transformers type IMB are based on

a hairpin design (form of the primary conductor, also known as tank-
type). The basic design has been used by ABB for 60 years, with
more than 120,000 units delivered.
The design corresponds with the demands set out in the standards
SS, IEC, IEEE, and BS. Special design solutions to meet other standards
and/or specifications are also available.
The unique filling consists of quartz-grains saturated in oil, which
gives a resistant insulation in a compact design where the quantity
of oil is kept to a minimum.
The IMB transformer has a very versatile design which, for example,
allows one large and/or many cores.

AOK
ABB’s oil minimum instrument transformers type AOK has a primary w

inding consisting of a straight bar that is surrounded by the toroid-formed
secondary windings. The basic design has been used by ABB for 50 years.
The design corresponds with the demands set out in the standards IEC,
ANSI,VDE, and SEV. Special design solutions to meet other standards
and/or specifications are also available.
The well-proven combination of paper and oil is used for main insulation,
where paper has excellent absorbing qualities for mineral oil.
The AOK transformer has the possibility to increase the ampere-turn
figure when the primary current is small, and several primary turns can
be used with or without reconnection.

ABB develops, manufactures, and

installs optical sensors and systems
for measuring current and voltage
on high-voltage power systems
using optical sensor technologies
and the properties of light.
ABB optical current and voltage

sensing systems provide many
advantages relative to conventional
transformer technology, including: configurations; optical isolation
greater accuracy; reduced mainte- between high-voltage sensors and
nance and improved safety secondary outputs in the control
through elimination of oil/paper house; no magnetic core ferroresonance
dielectric system; lightweight and or saturation issues; and lower
smaller size for unique mounting installation cost.

Magneto-Optic Current Transducer (MOCT)
The Magneto-Optic Current Transducer (MOCT) is a passive, optical

current transducer, which uses light to accurately measure current
on high-voltage systems. The MOCT system is suitable for outdoor
applications and has an accurate metering current range from less
than 5 A to 2000 A using the same sensor. Higher current rated
designs are available upon request. Metering accuracy exceeds
class 0.2 per IEC 185 standards.
The MOCT optical metering and relaying system provides a 1.0 A
current output for metering. This output allows direct connection
to a standard electronic meter. A low-voltage analog output can
also be supplied to interface the MOCT system to certain protective
relays. Contact the factory for application assistance.

Optical Metering Unit (OMU)
The ABB Optical Metering Unit (OMU) system was developed

to provide combined optical current and voltage measure-
ment, which can be interfaced to electronic meters and/or
relays in high-voltage substations. The OMU combines the
Magneto-Optic Current Transducer (MOCT) and Electro-
Optic Voltage Transducer (EOVT) technologies for current
and voltage sensing into a single-phase unit that is light-
weight and compact in size. The reduced size and increased
accuracy of the OMU, relative to conventional oil-filled cur-
rent and voltage transformers, make the design particularly
well suited for the addition of revenue metering to existing
substations where space may be a premium.
FEATURES
Construction
The EOVT optical voltage sensing element oper-
ates in an SF6 atmosphere contained in a hollow
tube composite bushing consisting of a fiberglass
tube support and silicone rubber sheds. No capaci-
tive dividers are used and full line-to-ground volt-
age is applied across the EOVT sensor. This design
permits true optical voltage measurement for the
highest possible accuracy and stability. The elimi-
nation of oil/paper insulation provides enhanced
safety and reduced maintenance costs.
The MOCT optical current sensing element is
mounted at the top of the bushing, outside of the
SF6 environment, in a protective housing assembly.
Connections between the MOCT and EOVT sensors
in the OMU and the electronic modules in the
control house are via optical fiber breakout cable.
The OMU system consists of four major
components:
Three phases of OMU units installed in the
substation, which contain the optical current
(MOCT) and voltage (EOVT) sensors
2100-I MOCT electronic module, which provides
the signal processing for the optical current
Transformers
sensor (MOCT).This module provides a 1.0 A

nominal current output for direct connection
to a standard electronic meter.
3000 EOVT electronic module, which provides
the signal processing for the optical voltage
sensor (EOVT). This module provides a 120 V
nominal voltage output.
Fiber optic breakout cable, which provides the
optical link between the OMU units and the
electronic modules

Single-Phase, Padmounted

Composite Hood/Sill
ABB’s innovative “composite hood” is a one-piece, compression-

molded replacement for the steel hood and sill on the single-phase,
padmounted transformer. The composite is made of fiberglass-
reinforced, non-conductive, thermosetting resin. It latches at a single
point to the tank. The system provides significant operational
advantages including more cost-effective corrosion protection
than stainless steel.
The composite hood/sill transformer has passed all ANSI C57.12.28
tamper-resistance tests, impact tests at –20°F, and tests simulating a
high-voltage elbow failure.The design meets C57.12.25. Additional
tests were performed to ensure that the enclosure would withstand
the abuse of string weed trimmers and impact from lawn equipment.
It is accepted by the RUS.
ISO 9001 Certified
STANDARD FEATURES
The elimination of the traditional metal sill improves access to the cable
area and simplifies installation.
Due to its light weight (25 lbs. vs 50 lbs. for a steel hood), a single operator
may open and close the composite enclosure with little effort.
Strategically located stiffening ribs improve strength, stiffness, and flexibility
to meet the required design and function criteria.
A recessed lock pocket and handle are conveniently located at the front-top
center of the enclosure, and a stainless steel latch plate with attached lock
bolt is fastened to the lock pocket.
A tongue and groove arrangement ensures tamper-resistance when closed
and locked.
A non-conductive enclosure provides excellent insulation protection from
exposed energized cables and bushings.
The composite enclosure is less prone to damage on impact.
Tanks are constructed of heavy gauge steel with welded seams. They are
pressure-tested and inspected for leaks prior to shipment. All transformers
are supplied with:
• 58⁄ " — 11 stainless steel lifting bosses
• Oil level/fill plug
• Oil drain plug

Amorphous Metal Core +573-634-2111
Transformers with amorphous metal cores

are available in both single-phase and
three-phase designs. The cores provide
higher efficiency and lower loss perform-
ance. Inherent in the operation of distribu-
tion transformers are two types of energy
loss: load losses that vary depending on
transformer loading, and no-load losses
that occur in the magnetic cores and take
place over the life of the transformer
regardless of the load. No-load losses
represent a significant portion of the
energy lost during power distribution.
The use of amorphous core transformers
helps a utility save electric power con-
sumption. For those utilities with a high
cost of electricity and other concerns of
generating power, the amorphous metal-
core transformer can address the need to
achieve system efficiency objectives.
ISO 9001 Certified
STANDARD FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS

JUMBO
ABB JUMBO distribution transformers are designed as

single-phase, two-winding transformers—specifically
for “Step-Down” applications.
ISO 9001 Certified
STANDARD FEATURES
Lo-Hi-Lo coil design divides the short-circuit force between
two low-high spaces, increasing the short circuit strength of
the coil.
Two-winding construction yields a much higher impedance
than is characteristic of an auto transformer, which helps limit
the mechanical forces the unit must sustain during fault duty.
Progressively wound coils with adhesive resins on thermally
upgraded insulating paper provide increased short circuit and
thermal strength. SPECIFICATIONS
Sheet conductor in LV windings enables the electrical centers 50 — 500 kVA
in the high and low to align themselves, minimizing the
65°C rise
vertical component of short-circuit forces.
Reinforced core-coil assembly provides greater short circuit
withstand capability. High voltages: 7200, 14,400,
and 19,920
Prototype testing ensures the Jumbo design can meet industry
short circuit standards and provide reliable service. Low voltages: 2400, 4800, 7200,
7620, and 7970
Self-venting and resealing cover eliminates the need for an
auxiliary pressure-relief device and offers increased safety
through higher tank withstand.
ANSI support lugs (hanger brackets) are rod-welded to the
tank wall for added strength.
Anodized, aluminum-laser inscribed nameplate offers longer
term readability.
Lifting lugs are positioned directly opposite the cover beam
support lugs, reducing the chance of the tank going out of
round when lifted.
Transformers
Cover-mounted, high-voltage, porcelain bushings with eyebolt

terminals are mounted on flat embossments on the cover and
have undercut gasket seats for improved sealing. The eyebolt
connectors are cast bronze-plated with tin.
Low-voltage porcelain bushings with clamp-type terminals
provide ease in making secondary terminations.
Arrester mounting pads are resistance-welded to the tank
wall, completely and uniformly filling the surfaces where pad
and tank wall join to provide greater strength.

Three-Phase, T-T
ABB T-T or T-connected overhead distribution transformers

can be used to serve most three-phase applications up to 500 kVA.
T-connected transformers consist of two single-phase core/coil
assemblies. This type of connection is also referred to as a
Scott-T connection.
T-connected overhead distribution transformers can be used to
serve most three-phase applications. However, Triplex designed
three-phase transformers are needed for some applications where
large motors are the load, and these motors are frequently started.
Oil field pumping loads and some irrigation pumping loads should
use only the Triplex designs.

Three-Phase, Triplex
The ABB Triplex overhead distribution transformer

can be used to serve three-phase applications through
225 kVA. Triplex designs consist of three separate,
single-phase, core-coil assemblies in one tank.
Triplex overhead distribution transformers are often
used to serve large motor loads where the motors are
frequently started. Oil field pumping loads and some
irrigation pumping loads should use only Triplex
designs. Also, the Triplex transformer has international
application where Dy5 and Dy11 phase displacement
are required.

The protective link is an oil-immersed,
expulsion-type fuse assembly for use in
the high-voltage circuit of a distribution
transformer with voltage ratings of
2.4 kV through 34.5 kV.
APPLICATIONS
Used in coordination with the CSP circuit breaker,
the protective link’s functions are to disconnect a
defective transformer from the feeder circuit and to
limit the severity of damage to the transformer in
case of an internal fault. The link consists of a fuse
wire element contained within a hard fiber tube.
The wire is welded to a copper terminal at one end
and crimped to a copper terminal and cable lead
at the other end. Protective links are available in a
wide variety of fuse sizes and kV classes for proper
coordination with CSP circuit breakers.

Duracast
ABB’s vacuum-cast coil transformer is the most

technologically advanced design for the extreme
conditions present in chemical processing, extra-heavy
traction, and heavy industrial applications. These units
are designed to meet the extreme demands of higher-
operating voltage systems and harsh environments
where dependability and reliability are crucial. These
transformers are non-flammable and moisture-proof.
They feature a solid insulation system that is partial
discharge-free and has minimal exposed surface
area, which is predominantly vertical and virtually
eliminates maintenance.

Substation
ABB substation transformers have cover-mounted,

primary and secondary bushings and can be provided
with load (LTC) or no-load (NLTC) tap changers.
Substation transformers are “stand-alone” electrical
equipment and are generally connected directly to
overhead utility power lines. Substation transformers
are used primarily for outdoor applications in three-
phase ratings of 750 — 20,000 kVA (self-cooled) and
single-phase ratings of 667 — 6667 kVA (self-cooled),
with primary voltages up to 69 kV.
ABB substation transformers utilize a rectangular

ABB unit substation transformers are generally close-

coupled to switchgear, motor control, bus duct, air
terminal chambers, or other types of incoming and
outgoing equipment. These units feature a rectangular
core and coil design that is a distinguishing character-

transformer must have either or both the HV and LV
bushings mounted on the transformer wall. Since each
order is tailored to meet specific customer requirements,
ABB unit substation transformers can be designed to
replace existing equipment for ease of installation
with minimum site modifications.

Type UZ +731-696-5561
+800-955-8399
The UZ tap changer is available in two basic configura-
tions: the UZE and UZF. In each case the tap changer
uses three identical single-phase selector switches,
mounted in the openings on the rear of the compart-
ment. Each single-phase unit consists of an epoxy-resin
molding, a selector switch, transition resistors, and in
most cases, a change-over selector.
The basic difference between the UZE model and
the UZF model is the incline of the active part within
the UZF tank to allow easier access to the terminals.
Access to the terminals is via a connection cover on
the top of the tank.
The UZ family of load tap changers has been developed
over many years for maximum reliability. The simple
and rugged design gives a service life that equals the
service life of the transformer. Tests show the tap
changer was still mechanically sound after one million
operations. Minimal maintenance is required for

Motorformer™/Powerformer Light™ +262-785-3200
Motorformer and Powerformer Light are the world’s

first high-voltage, cable-wound AC machines. These
solutions combine conventional AC technology
with the new high-voltage cable technology. High-
voltage cable is used as the stator winding instead
of the rigid copper winding coils to be found in
large conventional machines.
The benefit of the new concept is that the motor can
then be connected directly to a considerably higher
voltage without the need for a step-down transformer
between the distribution network and the motor.
The product is still built with components that have
been carefully developed and proven over many years
for ABB’s conventional synchronous machines. These
systems can supply reactive power, which benefits
both the customer and the power supplier.

ACS 600 +800-752-0696
ACS 600 drives achieve the ultimate in AC motor

control performance through the many bene-
fits of applying Direct Torque Control (DTC)
technology. A wide range of power options
for stepless speed control from 3 to 4000 HP
means that there is always a version to exactly
match your needs.
Starting torque up to 200% of nominal torque
guarantees reliable starting even under the
heaviest loads. The automatic start feature
outperforms flying start and ramp start features
typically found in other AC drives and, thanks
to DTC, there is no restart delay.
In many cases, DTC’s precise speed and torque
control of standard squirrel cage motors
eliminates the cost and labor associated with
installing a pulse encoder.

DLA Starters
The construction of DLA starters is based on ABB
A-Line contactors. The mounting plate, including a
built-in A-Line contactor, is designed to integrate an
ABB manual motor starter, type MS325. Starters can
be easily made with protection against overloads
and short circuits (Type I or Type II coordination).
The technical characteristics of these devices are
identical to A-Line contactors. The advantages are
as follows:
Simple installation
• DLA starters mount onto 35 x 15 mm exclusively.
DIN rail (EN 50022)
• Direct mounting of manual motor starter MS325
• Contactor coil terminals accessible on lower side
High performance is a result of the combination of
the MS325 manual motor starter with high breaking
capacity and the new A-Line contactor ensuring high
electrical durability.

FEATURES
Compact line
PSS03 to PSS25 softstarters are a very compact
solution for starting small motors with rated
current from 3 to 25 A. They are suitable for
230, 400, 500, and 600 V and designed for DIN
rail mounting.
The built-in bypass contacts allow you to
build space-saving, compact designs. Adjustable
parameters include acceleration time and initial APPLICATIONS
voltage for starting and deceleration time for
stopping. In addition, these units cover a Pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors
control voltage range of 24 — 110 VAC/dc
and 100 V — 480 VAC.
Flexible line
PSS18/30 to PSS300/515 softstarters provide
a flexible solution for motor starting. Rated
motor currents are covered from 18 A to 300 A
when connected in line like a traditional full
voltage starter. These units can also be wired
inside the motor-delta, like a wye-delta starter,
covering motors up to 515 A. This flexibility
makes it easier than ever before to replace
wye-delta starters.
Industrial Products
The total solid-state solution—with no moving

contacts in the power circuit—is an attractive
solution for applications with many starts per
hour. Adjustable parameters include accelera-
tion time, initial voltage, and optional current

Power Electronic Brakes +940-397-7000
Electronic braking stops the load by injecting

a controlled amount of DC current into a three-
phase AC motor. The Power Electronic Brake
(PEB) Series features full-wave DC braking,
which can be adjusted to stop your load
quickly, repeatedly, and reliably; even if load
conditions change.
Unlike other brakes that only provide voltage
control, the PEB Series is a current-regulated
brake. It automatically adjusts for resistance
changes in the motor windings due to any
input voltage fluctuations.What does this
mean? Repeatable, reliable operation every
time you stop your motor.
FEATURES APPLICATIONS
An exceptionally accurate method of Wood products industries

stop. Braking current is removed when the
motor stops, eliminating excess braking Food processing
current, which means longer motor life. Machine tools
Built-in jogging circuitry allows you to
select the time you need for machine
setup and positioning without applying
DC current to the motor windings.
DC current is only applied when system
setup is complete; no excess current,
no excess heating, and no premature
motor failure.
The PEB Series has a built-in feature to
control a mechanical holding brake. Any
fault indication automatically enables the
mechanical brake for fail-safe operation.
The PEB Series has been designed and
tested to meet the most stringent industry
standards: UL and cUL.

There are many applications where safety is very

critical, and it is important to use electrical equipment
that ensures dangerous machine movement cannot
occur when a fault is detected with the moving contacts
during the cycle in which the fault is indicated.
Regulations and standards have been written to ensure
that safety is maintained:

The ABB Type N and KC 4- and 8-pole relays are
designed to meet requirements where “Positive
Guided” contacts are required. The relays can
provide “mechanically linked” N.O. and N.C. contacts,
which assure that the N.O. contacts will not close
before any N.C. contact opens. Therefore, if one of
the contacts weld due to abnormal conditions in the
control circuit, the other contacts will also remain in
the same position as when the welding occurred.

Electronic Timing +940-397-7000
C58 timing relays are snapped directly onto a 35 mm

DIN rail safely and easily in accordance with DIN VDE
50 022. Assembly and disassembly can be performed
without complications or tools. Screw fastening
accessories are available. The connection terminals
and maximum permissible connection cross-sections
are optimally tailored to each other to allow trouble-
free connection of the timing relay to the control lines
and automation components.
FEATURES
C58 timing relays have a high 230 VAC/VDC switching
capacity within the permissible operating range of
-25°C to +60°C (-13°F to +140°F). Even when switching
contactors, relays from ABB distinguish themselves by
their long electrical service life.
The precise running time setting is made on the
ergonomically designed front control and display
element of the C58 timing relay. Fifteen switchable
time ranges can each be set in seconds, minutes, or
hours with the end values 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100.
“Continuous switching” with defined ON/OFF switch-
ing is also possible for test purposes. Two LEDs indicate
the supply voltage and relay connections. All functions
are clearly and unmistakably identified in English on
the circuit diagram and corresponding labeling, so that
it is extremely difficult to accidentally adjust the timing
relay. The electronics, which are safe in every respect,
cannot be influenced by interference and ensure
reliable operation of the C58 timing relay—even on
coils without surge suppression.
All units of the C58 Series are rugged and designed
for use in rough industrial atmospheres. The UL and
CSA approvals permit worldwide use, and all relays
bear the CE mark.

Electronic Monitoring +940-397-7000
Series C550 electronic monitoring relays from ABB

are versatile. This extensive range offers various relays
for detection and monitoring of electrical parameters
such as current, voltage, phase imbalance, phase failure,
and phase sequence in single-phase or three-phase
power systems and filling levels of conductive fluids.
Thus relays C551 and C552 make it just as easy to
protect installations and machines against overvoltage
and undervoltage as they do to monitor currents in
AC or DC power systems. Relays C556 monitor over-
voltage and undervoltage in three-phase power systems
with and without neutral conductor, while units C554
and C557 monitor phase failure, phase sequence, and
imbalance. Relay C559 for power monitoring (cos ϕ) is
used for control tasks on machines and to protect the
machines against underload or overload. Level monitor
C555 detects fluid levels of conductive fluids and can
be converted to detection of falling or rising levels.
Status LEDs indicate the circuit states of the units.
Signaling is performed by one or two changeover
contacts as an output protective circuit.
All C550 monitoring relays can be mounted The relays are mounted either on 35 mm
quickly and in a space-saving manner. With their DIN rail by snapping them on or with

The C57x series covers 10 safety relays that perform

safety functions on machines. Their fields of application
extend from emergency stop circuits through guard
door monitoring functions and tread mats to presses and
punches. All C57x products are UL listed, CSA approved,
and bear the CE mark.
Redundancy is achieved by a series connection to two
N.O. contacts. These N.O. contacts are located in two
mutually independent, positive-action, all-or-nothing

ABB’s disconnect switch family includes the non-fusible

SwitchLine, fusible PowerLine and enclosed SafeLine
product families. The basic construction provides flexibility,
safety, and high performance in an extremely compact size.
ABB SwitchLine non-fusible switches are a perfect choice
for all switching applications from industrial motor control
to construction safety switches. ABB PowerLine fusible
switches are designed to meet customer requirements in
terms of high interrupting capacity and long electrical
life while occupying little more panel space than the appro-
priate fuses. SafeLine enclosed disconnect switches are
designed to meet customer requirements in terms of safety,
ease of installation, space savings, and operational conven-
ience. All ABB disconnect switches are available in a wide
range of amperage ratings, are UL approved, and NEMA

ABB 300/1200, Automatic Power Factor Capacitors
Capacitor banks are more economical than individual capacitor

units when the main reason for power factor correction is to
reduce utility power bills and/or reduce the current in primary
feeders from a main generator or transformer. Large banks or
racks of capacitors are installed at the main switchboard or at
the substation; thereby increasing power factor and obtaining
the advantages of lower power consumption.
Lower Installation Costs—The cost of installing one fixed
or automatic capacitor bank unit will be less than installing
a number of individual capacitors at inductive loads.
Switching—Automatic capacitor banks can switch all or part of
the capacitance automatically, depending on load requirements.
This way, only as much power factor correction as needed
for the given load is provided. (This switching capability is a
primary advantage over fixed capacitor banks where over-
capacitance, leading power factor, and resulting overvoltages
can occur should the load decrease.)

Active Filter

Manufactured at
ABB Inc.
Wichita Falls, TX
Power Quality Filter (PQFA) +940-397-7000
The power quality filters developed by ABB are active filters offering
unprecedented ability to clean the network from harmonics. The
PQFA eliminates harmonics in a controlled way. It is easy to expand
and adapt to changes in the network. The PQFA monitors the line
current in real-time and processes the measured harmonics as digital
signals in a high-power DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The output
of the DSP controls PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) power modules
that, through line reactors, inject harmonic currents with exactly the
opposite phase to those that are to be filtered. The net effect is an
elimination of the harmonics and a clean sine-wave as seen by the
feeding transformer.
FEATURES
Advantages
Filters several harmonics simultaneously
Filters up to the 41st harmonic on a 60 Hz system
Cannot be overloaded
Programmable filtering strategy enables user to select which
harmonics are filtered.
May filter without generation of reactive power
May generate and control power factor
OPTIONS AND
Has programmable task priorities ACCESSORIES
Does not require detailed network analysis
Current transformers
Does not require special CTs (ratings and dimension to specify)
Is easy to expand on site Loss of voltage alarm contact
Comes factory tested with incoming circuit breaker Graphic user interface

Metal-Clad

SafeGear® and Advance™
SafeGear is the most advanced metal-clad switchgear available from any

source, combining the traditional safety requirements of ANSI standards
with many other features preferred by North American customers, plus
the added value of arc-resistant construction. Advance metal-clad
switchgear is similar to SafeGear; however, Advance is not arc-resistant.
The arc-resistant design significantly reduces the risk of personnel
exposure to a blast from an internal arc fault. Equipment damage and
downtime are also minimized. Arc resistance is accomplished by using
reinforced doors and panels, closed-door racking, double sidewall
construction, and a system of fast operating vents and flaps. This system
relieves pressure and exhausts hot, expanding gases through the top of
the switchgear, away from the front, back, and sides.
SafeGear and Advance are manufactured from a wide array of rigid,
self-supporting Galvalume steel modules for fast delivery of the highest
quality switchgear without compromising flexibility or economy.

AX1
The newly launched medium-voltage switchgear AX1 represents

a new and functional approach to the switchgear architecture,
consistently utilizing new technology without the limitations
given by the old type components. Besides the incorporation of
software intelligence, it also results in many general advantages,
such as compactness, easy installation, and high personnel safety
and service reliability. The protection relays and operating push-
buttons are replaced by bay computers handling all protection,
operation, and interlocking between the apparatus in the switch-
gear. The modern control system needs less wiring. The basic
philosophy for the switchgear architecture is to keep all high-
voltage parts in one separate compartment and all mechanical

partment. Parts needing access, like auxiliaries and circuit breaker
actuators, are in this concept fully and safely accessible, even
when the high-voltage parts are alive and the circuit breaker is
closed. The switchgear is supplied with a specially developed
and extremely fast “Arc Eliminator.” The concept is designed for
fast and simple installation on site. The cubicles have sliding

IS-Limiter™ +407-732-2000
ABB IS-Limiter is a high-speed fault current limiter that

reduces the cost of the power distribution infrastructure as
system available fault currents grow beyond the capabilities
of existing switchgear; for example, through the addition of
utility ties and new generation capacity.
IS-Limiter functions as a system interconnect or bus tie that
limits fault currents, reducing the ratings and costs of new
switchgear and eliminating the need to replace existing
switchgear. In reactor bypass applications, IS-Limiter reduces
costs by avoiding unnecessary energy loss. The IS-Limiter has
solved such problems in over 2500 installations worldwide.
IS-Limiter is capable of handling high, continuous, and fault
currents in voltage ratings to 36 kV. By monitoring both the
momentary value of current and the rate of rise the IS-Limiter
control system activates an interrupting cartridge to limit
short circuit currents on the first current rise in less than
3 ms. The peak current is never reached, and the system
trips only when it is at risk. Nuisance trips are avoided.
Cartridges are easily replaced and returned for refurbishment.
IS-Limiter devices are fixed-mounted in ANSI switchgear
enclosures 36 to 48 inches (914.4 to 1219.2 mm) wide,
depending on ratings. Sensors and controls are mounted in
the same enclosure. A separate cabinet contains measuring
and tripping devices.

Arc Guard® +407-732-2000
The ABB Arc Guard System monitors the interior

of switchgear and electrical distribution cabinets to
detect the light emitted by an internal arc fault. Arc
Guard immediately sends a signal (within 2 ms) to trip
the upstream circuit breaker to limit arc duration, well
before protective relays would normally operate. This
early action minimizes the release of energy, thereby
greatly improving personnel safety and reducing
equipment damage.
The Arc Guard system uses light sensors mounted
in primary compartments (circuit breakers, main bus,
PTs, etc.) and connected to a control unit by fiber
optic cables. Each control unit can monitor up to nine
sensors. Current flow is also monitored to eliminate
nuisance trips. The control unit transmits the trip
signal and records the compartment in which the
fault occurred.
Arc Guard is available with all new switchgear
from ABB as well as for retrofitting all types of
installed switchgear.

R-ADVAC 5 — 15 kV Fixed-Mounted and Retrofit

ADVAC 5 — 15 kV circuit breakers are available in fixed-mounted
R-ADVAC arrangements for converting aging air-magnetic circuit
breakers, upgrading interrupting ratings, or extending the life of existing
switchgear. The R-ADVAC breakers can also be used in metal-enclosed,
load interrupter switchgear applications, where some feeders may
require the durability, fast operation, and control characteristics of
vacuum circuit breakers. R-ADVAC breakers have the same operating
mechanism, interrupters, and control components as the drawout
versions but are supplied without the racking system, primary, or
secondary disconnects. R-ADVAC breakers are available in smaller
widths at 5 kV ratings for efficient conversions of conventional
26" (660 mm) wide air-magnetic breakers.

Type VHK Drawout Vacuum Circuit Breakers

VHK vacuum circuit breakers feature an extremely compact frame size
in ratings of 5 kV through 350 MVA. These breakers are compatible with
OEM frames that are only 26" (660 mm) wide. The OEM frames are
available as stackable modules for two-high switchgear or as full-height,
full-depth frames with a spacious instrument compartment above the
breaker compartment. Like all VHK breakers, these units use an oper-
ating mechanism with proven dependability. They are also capable of
rolling directly from the floor into lower compartments without the
use of a lift truck, docking dolly, or ramp.

Loop Control Module (LCM) +407-732-2000
ABB’s Loop Control Module (LCM) is designed to be completely

compatible with PCD control. The LCM is a sophisticated option
that consists of the Loop Control Panel and a COM5 communica-
tion module inserted into the PCD, interfaced together via a sim-
ple control cable. The LCM is designed to detect either normal
voltage or loss of voltage from one or two sources, and it will
initiate preprogrammed logical steps to isolate the faulted section
depending upon the voltage configuration and feeder location.
The LCM is designed to implement a loop control function to
sectionalize or remove the faulted section from the distribution
system. This new control module employs a design to provide
sectionalizing control of either a recloser or a switch and the
restoration of a distribution system by closing the tie-point
recloser from another electrical source.
APPLICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
Loop control schemes extend the reliability and
Loop Control Module increases implementation of distribution automation to establish
restoration on distribution a more effective operating power system in expecta-
power systems tion of a competitive environment. Automating any
distribution system outside an electric utility substation
environment could be realized through the use of
recloser loop control schemes, using the ABB VR-3S
reclosers and PCD controllers equipped with the
Loop Control Module.
A recloser loop control scheme typically utilizes a
predetermined number of PCD and LCM controlled
VR-3S reclosers installed in series between two substa-
tion feeder circuits. The LCM feature provides isolation
of any faulted section within a given distribution cir-
cuit, while simultaneously reestablishing service to all
customers unaffected by the faulted section within a
relatively short period of time. Loop control schemes
are typically located at or near key customers at
various locations throughout the distribution system.
Ideally, loop control schemes are implemented to
reduce the number of outages and to maintain reliable
electrical power to a utility’s customer base.

Single-Phase Tripping +407-732-2000
ABB’s single-phase tripping feature implemented in the PCD

and VR-3S recloser is the first of its kind in the electric power
industry. It provides better system reliability, continuity of service,
and minimizes lost revenue billings. The single-phase tripping
option is designed to be extremely flexible in order to meet the
most demanding customer requirements. Single-phase tripping in
the PCD is a firmware upgrade that allows single-phase monitoring
and tripping. This is done through the standard protection elements
on a per-phase basis. Fault current is independently monitored
on each phase to initiate the respective pole’s tripping action.
There are two modes of operation for single-phase tripping:
OPUP (Only Picked-Up Phases) and OOAP (One Or All Phases).
If three-phase tripping is required, then the PCD can be
configured to return to a three-phase tripping mode allowing
the PCD to operate in its normal configuration with single-phase
tripping disabled.

ABB cutouts are single-phase devices designed for

use on overhead distribution systems rated 7.8 - 38 kV.
They provide overcurrent protection, visible indication of
a fuse operation, sectionalizing points, and visible breaks
for maintenance personnel. ABB manufactures various
types of cutouts to meet the specific requirements of most
distribution systems. These cutouts are manufactured to
meet ANSI C37.41-1981 and C37.42-1981, EEI, and NEMA
SG -2-1986 standards.
Several special application cutouts have been designed

to solve specific problems. For superior corrosion
performance, ABB manufactures a “seacoast” cutout
designed with all non-ferrous materials. In addition,
ABB has a special galvanized unit with a powder paint
coating resulting in better-than-normal corrosion
resistance without the cost of non-ferrous components.
Polymer concrete units are also available to protect
cutouts from breakage and/or vandalism. Additionally,
ABB has a single-phase electronic sectionalizer, the
Autolink™, designed to ride through short-term faults
without a fuse operation.This eliminates nuisance
fuse-tripping and saves considerable time and
money in re-fusing operations.

Loadbreak

LBU II
The ABB LBU II performs as an outdoor loadbreak switch, as well as a fused
cutout for distribution systems. Loadbreak interruption is accomplished
by means of a self-contained loadbreak arc chute, which confines
the arc and provides a de-ionizing action. The LBU II offers
extended interrupting ratings up to 20 kA.
Conventional operation loadbreak is accomplished by normal
opening of the cutout by hookstick. There are no parts to replace.
The loadbreak feature lasts the life of the cutout. The self-contained
loadbreak concept enables the linemen to interrupt load current with
a simple hook-stick operation.

Moisture-Proof Tube +407-732-2000
ABB has formulated and patented a new, state-of-the-art fuseholder made of synthetic
fibers to alleviate moisture absorption problems and extend the life of the fuseholder.
The moisture-proof (MP) tube prevents swelling, reducing problems with interruption.
The submersion test produced no swelling in the inner diameter, allowing the cutout to
fully expel the link and clear the fault.
ABB’s consistent manufacturing process minimizes variability and imperfections, signifi-
cantly extending the life of the tube. They are interchangeable with horn fiber designs.

Dead-Tank Power Circuit Breakers
ABB is a world leader in circuit breaker

technology because of its emphasis
on providing reliable, effective power
control and performance. ABB’s SF6
insulated circuit breakers are based
on state-of-the-art designs that meet,
and often exceed, ANSI, IEC, and NEMA
standards. These advanced designs
lower mechanical stresses, reduce main-
tenance, and extend the operational life
of electrical components and systems.
ABB provides a wide range of options

and ratings.

Dead-Tank

Type PM/PMI 38 kV — 72 kV
The 38 kV through 72 kV PM type breakers possess

a compact layout consisting of three cast-aluminum
tanks containing interrupter units that are mounted
on a common support frame. The three-pole units
have an independent SF6 gas system measured by a
temperature-compensated, gas density monitor located
on each phase. The rated SF6 gas pressure is 65 PSIG
at 68°F (20°C). This unit has an installed base of more
than 5000 breakers and has been in production since
1987. Although ANSI does not require short-line fault
tests for 72.5 kV breakers, the PM type breaker has
been tested for 90% —40 kA short-line faults without
the assistance of line-to-ground capacitors.

Type PMR/PMRI 242 kV
The PMR and PMRI breakers consist of three cast-

aluminum interrupter tanks mounted on a common
structural steel frame. The three-pole units have a
common SF6 gas system monitored by a temperature-
compensated, gas pressure switch. The rated SF6 gas
pressure is 87.5 PSIG at 20°C. The PMR breaker uses
a single HMB operating mechanism for simultaneous
interruption of all three poles. The PMRI unit is based
on the HMB-2S operating mechanism which has three
separate hydraulic actuators to drive each pole inde-
pendently. In addition to the independent-pole opera-
tion capability, the 242PMRI can also be provided with
microprocessor-based controls for synchronous closing.
FEATURES
Interrupter Design
The PMR and PMRI breakers utilize ABB’s SD
interrupter. The SD interrupter is a single-pressure,

Dead-Tank

Type PM 550 kV — 800 kV
The 550 through 800 kV type PM breakers utilize

components that have been field-tested throughout
the world. They have passed environmental and life
tests far more severe than those required by ANSI.
The PM breaker body is made of welded plate
aluminum with cast ends and contains the interrupter
units. Each phase is mounted on a separate support
frame and has a self-contained SF6 gas system, monitored
by a temperature-compensated, gas density monitor.
The rated SF6 gas pressure is 87.5 PSIG at 20°C. Moving
contacts are operated by an HMB-8 or HMB-11 hydraulic
spring mechanism. Mounted on each pole unit is
a cabinet with current transformer terminal blocks,
a density monitor, and auxiliary switches. The main
control cabinet is mounted separately.

Surge Arresters
ABB surge arresters are the primary protection against various

kinds of overvoltages (atmospheric or switching). They are generally
connected in parallel with the equipment to be protected, diverting
the surge current. The active elements (blocks) of ABB surge arresters
are manufactured using a highly non-linear ceramic resistor
material composed largely of zinc oxide mixed with other metal
oxides and sintered together.
ABB manufactures arresters suitable for a range of selection criteria

including: Maximum continuous operating voltage; maximum
temporary overvoltage capability; protective characteristics; energy
absorption capability; and pressure-relief capability.

Transmission Line

PEXLINK
PEXLINK A is designed to be used as Transmission Line Arresters, TLA,

for the protection of transmission lines against lightning related tripping
due to overvoltages. They are installed in parallel to the line insulation to
prevent flashover of the line insulators. PEXLINK A increases the reliability
of the system and is designed to be used on systems of 12 — 230 kV
with or without shield wires. However, for installations on transmission
lines without shield wires in areas with a high lightning intensity, estima-
tion of the arrester failure rate (depending on energy capability) versus
the required line availability is recommended. For more information,
please see ABB PEXLINK literature. ABB can also work directly together
with the utility to optimize the reliability of their system.
PEXLINK A is delivered with a disconnector to separate the arrester
from the line in case of an arrester overloading due to excessive light-
ning energy. Thus after a failure, the line can be re-energized without
attending to it immediately.
The arrester is a gapless, metal oxide design, which meets or exceeds
the following requirements:
• Intermediate class per ANSI C62.11
Class 10 kA, Line Discharge Class 1, per IEC
• Energy capability: 2.6 kJ/kV of duty-cycle rating (or 3.3 kJ/kV of
MCOV) for one 100 kA impulse, 4/10 microsec. duration
The PEXLINK A arrester has passed short circuit tests at 40 kA per
ANSI C62.11 and has also been tested with short circuit initiated by
overvoltage in accordance with proposed IEC 60099-4 draft, which is
more stringent for polymer-housed arresters than present standards.
STANDARD FEATURES
The silicone rubber housing features high-
tracking and arc-resistance, excellent
hydrophobic properties, and resistance
to weathering, UV radiation, and pollution.

The ABS-8 is a two and one-half element meter designed for a special
application on a three-phase, four-wire wye service. Although it
can be provided in a self-contained configuration, it offers reduced
installation cost when voltage transformers are required. This trans-
former-rated meter (with a 13-terminal base) permits the use of only
two voltage transformers instead of the usual three when metering
three-phase, four-wire wye circuits. This application provides a cost
savings due to the reduction of voltage transformers, but it must only
be used when there is a voltage balance between each of the three
phases. An unbalance in voltage magnitudes between phases will
create a possible metering error when the meter “estimates” the
missing third voltage. An ABS-8 meter can be equipped with any
one of the available communication modules listed in the

C3000 Compound Meter
The C3000 compound meter combines the T3000 turbine meter

and C700 piston meter in one high-performance compound meter.
The C3000 is designed for the highest possible metering accuracy
in installations where extremely large variations in flow are typical,
such as schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and other installations
where flow demands vary from a few drops to large peak-hour
demands. This meter is available in sizes 2" to 8".
Because the compound is lighter and less bulky, it does not require
special equipment nor additional labor to install. All C3000 parts
and subassemblies are completely interchangeable with the T3000
turbine meter and the C700 positive displacement meter, thereby
eliminating dual inventory and cutting maintenance costs.
The C3000 features a unique changeover valve. This spring-loaded
poppet-style valve functions on differential pressure. It is a positive
action valve, which means that it is fully opened or fully closed at all
times. This superior design assures the highest accuracy (100% ± 1 ⁄ 2 %)
and eliminates the loss of revenue at changeover, which is common
with weighted check valves.
ABB’s compound meter pricing, compact design, interchangeable
parts, and unparalleled accuracy, means dollars saved.
FEATURES
Poppet-Style, Positive Action
Changeover Valve:
• “Poppet”-Style, Spring-Loaded Design:
This design feature assures that the cone
stays closed until the differential pressure is
sufficient to fully open the valve.
• Butterfly Vent: This adjustable vent changes
the rate of flow at which the valve opens for
special applications.
• Uniquely Designed Cone: The cone is
designed with pressure-sensitive areas that
allow concentration of differential pressure.
This ensures a positive action, fully open or
fully closed.
• Rubber Semi-Hard Seat: This feature
ensures a bubble tight seal in the closed
position, and follows the cone during valve
opening resulting in efficient operation.

FSM3 Fire Service Meter

The FSM3 Compound Assembly is designed for use where
water for both fire protection and domestic needs are combined
into a single service. The FSM3 combines in one assembly an
FM-Approved Fire Service Strainer, an AWWA Class II Turbine
meter for high and deluge flows, a positive displacement meter
for low flow measurement, and a check valve to direct flows to
the appropriate measuring chamber. The FSM3 meets or exceeds
the performance and material requirements of the AWWA
Standard C703, as most recently revised for Type II devices.
A single polyester-coated, ductile iron body houses both the
FSM3 Turbine Measuring chamber and the Automatic Check Valve.
The FSM3’s Automatic Check Valve is externally spring-loaded
with a covered external spring arm. This feature allows inspec-
tion of proper valve function without interruption of service.

GPU 2000R
The GPU 2000R is a generator protection unit in the

proven line of 2000R series relays.
The 589T series is designed to provide primary and/or
back-up protection for small- to medium-sized generators,
and the 589V/589W series is suitable for synchronous
generators of any size.
Utilizing three advanced microprocessors, the GPU 2000R
provides multifunction protection, expansive fault and
operations records, detailed metering, programmable
inputs and outputs, and advanced communications options.
This new series also provides improved performance
compared to the earlier 589R series. The sensitivity of
the reverse-power, anti-motoring element is down to 0.2%
of rated machine power. The loss-of-excitation function
is accomplished by an mho-circle impedance element.

Transformer

TPU 2000R
The TPU 2000R is an advanced, microprocessor-based, transformer

protection unit designed for use with three-phase power transformers.
The TPU 2000R provides sensitive, high-speed, differential protection
for internal phase and ground faults as well as time and instantaneous
overcurrent protection. The user-selectable, harmonic restraint setting
prevents false tripping on magnetizing in-rush and over-excitation.
The TPU 2000R can easily be set to operate based on the restraint
curves of earlier electronic and electromechanical relay types.
This allows continuity with the user’s past protective practices.
The harmonic restraint record details the per-phase percent harmonic
in each winding at the start and stop of a harmonic restraint condi-
tion, so the restraint margin can be determined.
The 64 cycle-per-phase oscillographic record and event log provide
detailed system disturbance data. Three groups of setting tables allow
for online switching between groups for adaptive relay techniques.
Separate pickup tap ranges and time current curves are available for
phase and ground overcurrent elements.

REL 512
ABB has combined advanced technology and protection expertise to

provide a flexible and adaptive REL 500 Series platform design that
meets a broad range of requirements.
The REL 512 is a fully integrated, numerical, transmission line distance
protection system and breaker control terminal. It offers new pro-
tection concepts, developing true one-cycle tripping and the most
advanced functions and flexibility available to meet transmission line
distance protection application requirements, both pilot and non-pilot.
The protection package includes optional automatic reclosing and
breaker failure functions. The protection system is further enhanced
with programmable I/O and logic, which can be set for local user
functions or monitored and controlled by the SCADA system.
Advanced patented, self-testing techniques reduce maintenance
requirements. The REL 512 provides the complete protection package
and opens the door to more creative approaches for addressing
product protection and control needs.

REL 352
The REL 352 relay is a high-speed, numerical (fully digital), phase-

comparison transmission line protection system, with optional
distance back-up protection applicable to any voltage level.
The REL 352 is a dual, microprocessor-based, composite sequence
filter, phase-comparison protection system. Its principle operation
makes it ideal for short lines and tapped lines with a power
transformer where traditional distance protection fails.
The REL 352 is a communication channel-dependent system
optimized for operating with power line carrier equipment.
An optional distance-type relaying system can be included to
provide back-up for a loss of communication channel.
The phase-comparison protection is inherently immune to system
swings, and the relay will block the tripping. Trip under OST condi-
tions may be selected via a relay setting even when the channel is
sound, and the system is performing only phase-comparison.

REL 356
The REL 356 provides high-speed, current differential protection for

long and short lines. It is particularly suitable for lines too short to
be protected by impedance measuring systems, such as the type of
line used from generator to switchyard. The channel flexibility built
into the REL 356 allows application on lines up to 400 kilometers.
The REL 356 is suitable for any system voltage from subtransmission
through UHV.
The basic operation of the REL 356 relay system performs a true
differential comparison of line current flowing through each termi-
nal of the protected line. A pilot channel, either fiber optic or audio
tone, is used to bring in the remote terminal signal(s) for comparison
to the local signal.

Ground Fault Locating System (GFLS)
Ungrounded and high-resistance grounded, low-voltage

power distribution systems are widely used in industries
where the continuous operation of a process is a
critical factor. In these systems, it is imperative to find
and repair the first ground fault prior to having a
second if interruption of the manufacturing process
is to be avoided.
The GFLS is a solution to this long-standing problem
for plant electrical engineering and maintenance per-
sonnel. On the occurrence of a ground fault the GFLS
unit will immediately identify the faulted feeder and,
when feasible, will give a distance to fault estimate.
Some processes, such as spot welding, have
multiple operations of very short duration. The GFLS
has the capability to detect and locate an intermittent
fault that is only 8 cycles in duration.

Reduces search time from hours to minutes Identification of permanent or transient ground

Composer Series Engineering Tools +440-585-8500
To ensure that the SYMPHONY system can be efficiently

configured and maintained, ABB has designed a compre-
hensive suite of Composer Series tools. The Composer
tools provide a visual environment for easy configuration
of control system strategies, global configuration data-
bases, and HSI graphics.The tools also manage system
libraries of reusable software components. The working
environment of Composer for Harmony simplifies the
configuration and maintenance of SYMPHONY systems by
providing a standard Microsoft® Windows environment,
which enables the user to easily explore the current
system configuration and configure new elements.
The use of a common system, or project-wide database,
eliminates the duplication of data entry and automates
the configuration of many interrelated tasks. Composer
also provides complete system documentation of the
“as-installed” and “commissioned” systems. The Composer
Series tools provide two key features for system configu-
ration. By utilizing a multiuser client/server architecture,
they allow configuration information to be accessed,
created, and modified simultaneously by different users.
Composer’s integrated explorer presents a single, unified
view of the SYMPHONY system architecture and allows
the appropriate tool for each system element to be
invoked directly from that element.
Consistent with ABB’s commitment to Evolution
through Enhancement, the Composer Series was
designed to integrate with ABB’s IndustrialIT products,
while maintaining compatibility with SYMPHONY
and INFI 90 OPEN systems. Planned integration with
other components of ABB’s EngineerIT suite will
allow Composer tools to further enhance design and
maintenance efficiencies throughout the enterprise.

Plug and Switch System PASS

Deregulation and tougher competition in the energy
sector present great challenges to power utilities—but
no less so to manufacturers of high-voltage equipment.
Substations must be provided with equipment ensuring
maximum reliability, minimum maintenance, and state-
of-the-art service concepts. PASS—the Plug and Switch
System from ABB—is the answer to these requirements.
PASS creates a complete high-voltage switchyard bay
by integrating circuit breaker, disconnector, and earth-
ing switch as well as current and voltage sensors in
one gas-insulated compartment. This consideration has
led to a compact system design. PASS is preassembled
in the factory and delivered to the erection site as a
complete and tested unit. It is connected up to the con-
trol unit on-site with preterminated cables, filled with
insulating gas, and put into service without any further
high-voltage testing. Simple? That’s precisely what we
mean by “Plug and Switch!”
STANDARD FEATURES

A daptive maintenance
R educed life-cycle costs
Trend evaluation
FEATURES
Advantages Advanced primary technology combined with novel
sensors and a modern digital data processing
All important information—position, operating
mechanism energy, gas density, current, and volt-
age is reliably acquired by wear-free sensors and
fed to decentralized computers. From here they
are passed via data bus to other computers with
instrumentation and control or protective func-
tions where they are evaluated and interpreted.
Redundancies and duplications in auxiliary switches
and instrument transformers have been eliminated.
The direct consequence: Less material required for
secondary systems, minimized wiring, and reduced
possibilities of errors. In addition to the target-actual
comparison, measured values are stored in a mem-
ory for defined periods. Preprogrammed trend
analyses serve as a basis for individualized mainte-
nance strategies, resulting in minimized downtimes.
Increased availability and capital investment savings
on expensive network reserves can be realized
due to an improved, more detailed knowledge
of the ongoing system status. The cost-efficiency
and dependability of operations management are
significantly enhanced. This means a higher quality
of supply for the customer.

PS-1 Substation
The markets for electrical energy are

changing all over the world…
Competition for the producers and suppliers of
electrical energy has been increasing continuously.
This development can be attributed to the growing
worldwide deregulation of the markets for electrical
energy. To achieve long term success in these
competitive markets, it is vital to be able to adapt
to new demands.
The main decisions surrounding technical systems
(such as substations) are more and more governed
by economic analysis. Therefore, when evaluating
substations, the return on investment, rapid project
execution, and operating costs become more
significant than technical characteristics.
Processes can be accelerated…
As a global supplier of turnkey substations with
many years of experience, ABB has developed a if you look at all elements

To achieve this, ABB analyzed the individual stages
New demands require a new design—PS-1 of the process and clearly defined all interfaces with
suppliers and the future operator of the substation.
The development of PS -1 was centered on the needs All stages of the process, including design, engineer-
of the entire substation system. All components were ing, supply management, manufacturing, site work,
selected and optimized in view of the functionality and installation were redefined and standardized
of the whole system. with a view to optimize the entire process.
The complete process was analyzed, starting with

engineering and production up to the operation of
substations. It was on this basis that ABB developed
an optimized process that considerably reduces
the time required to set up a substation project.
PS -1 focuses on function, time, and costs. This
was achieved by consistently standardizing the
entire substation.

APPLICATIONS
There are good reasons for choosing
a PS-1 substation…
ABB guarantees the same reliable functionality for the
PS-1 substations as for conventional substation solutions.
The functionality of a PS -1 substation is equal to a
typical distribution station with up to two connected
high-voltage lines, a maximum of two power trans-
formers, and up to twelve medium-voltage outputs.
Due to the complete standardization of all process steps
and equipment, a PS -1 substation project can usually
be completed in half the time required for a compar-
able traditional project.
The realization of the PS -1 concept has resulted
in a turnkey system, which sets new standards for
the future while offering a cost advantage of up to
20% compared with a conventional “overspecified”
traditional substation.

High-Voltage, Direct Current
HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity

over long distances by overhead transmission lines
or submarine cables. It is also used to interconnect
separate (asynchronous) power systems where
traditional alternating current (ac) connections cannot
be used. ABB pioneered the HVDC technology and is
the undisputed world leader in the HVDC field.

HVDC Technology
Conventional HVDC
Y v
An HVDC converter station uses thyristor valves to convert from AC
Y
to DC and vice versa. The 12-pulse converter valve bridge is connect-
ed to the AC system by means of converter transformers. The valves
are normally placed in a building, and the converter transformers are
located just outside (see drawing).
The converter produces current harmonics (11th, 13th, 23rd, 25th,
35th, 37th, etc.) on the AC side. These harmonics are absorbed by AC
filters that also produce a part of the reactive power consumed by
the converter.
The converter also produces voltage harmonics on the DC side (12th,
24th, 36th, etc.). A large inductance (smoothing reactor) is always
installed on the DC side to reduce the ripple in the direct current.
In addition, a DC filter is also normally needed to reduce the level of
harmonic currents in the DC overhead line that may otherwise cause
interference to telephone circuits in the vicinity of the DC line.
HVDC 2000
The key feature of HVDC 2000 is the utilization of Capacitor
Commutated Converters (CCCs), a well-known circuit concept.
The CCC is now an innovative solution due to ABB’s development
of continuously tuned AC filters (ConTune). These filters can be built
to generate small quantities of reactive power but still provide good
filtering. These properties match the characteristics of the CCC,
which inherently derives part of its reactive power requirements
from its series-connected commutation capacitor in proportion to

the square of load current.
HVDC 2000 yields the following performance advantages:
Significantly better stability; in particular, when connected to AC
networks with low short circuit capacity and in systems with long
DC cables
Dependable performance in the event of AC system disturbances,
with reduced risk of commutation failures
Lower load rejection overvoltages
Improved AC and DC filtering with smaller filters
No need to switch AC filters or shunt capacitor banks to
compensate for converter reactive power consumption

HVDC Light
HVDC Light is an alternative to conventional AC
transmission or local generation in many situations.
Possible applications include the feeding of distant
loads and the connection of distant generation plants.
By feeding a remote load from the main grid, it is
feasible to shut down small, expensive, and possibly
polluting local generation plants, as well as eliminate
the associated fuel transport. This makes HVDC Light
a very attractive choice from an environmental
point of view.

APPLICATIONS
HVDC Light is a new transmission or subtransmission
technology, based on voltage source converters (VSC)
with a series connection of a modern semiconductor
device, the IGBT. This technology extends the econom-
ical power range for DC transmission downwards from
a hundred or more MW to just a few MW.
A VSC converter for HVDC Light is compact and
robust, both electrically and mechanically. The main
equipment is contained in small movable housings
and is delivered factory tested and fully assembled.
The IGBT is used because its higher switching
frequency capability permits use of pulse width
modulation (PWM).
HVDC Light converters are currently available in
ratings up to 330 MW. Further developments in semi-
conductor technology will lead to larger converter
ratings in the future.
When to Use HVDC Light

Some areas where HVDC Light technology will
be particularly useful are:
Cable transmissions for environmentally sensitive
areas or shared rights-of-way
Outlet transmission for small- to intermediate-scale

generation including renewables; e.g., solar or
wind power
Power supply to islands
Feeding power to remote locations
When relocation is desired
When there is a system benefit in having
independent control of active and reactive power

For replacement of uneconomic or polluting

Series Capacitors
The benefits of reactive power compensation are well
established. By reducing the negative impact of reactive
power demand in high-voltage AC networks, the capacity
of transmission systems can be dramatically increased.
This means greater reliability and better utilization of existing
lines. One means of supplying the reactive power demand
of the transmission network is through the use of series
capacitors. Series capacitors compensate for part of the
inductive reactance of long distance lines and are an effective
and economical method of increasing stable power transfer.
The benefits of series compensation in transmission lines are:
Increased power transfer capability
Improved system stability
Better voltage regulation with loading changes
Optimized load sharing between parallel lines
Reduced system losses

Controlled Series Capacitor

For transmission applications involving steam turbine
generators where the compensation level is high, there
could be a risk of subsynchronous resonance (SSR).
Thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC) can be
used to mitigate SSR. The TCSC is controlled in such a
way so as to appear inductive in the subsynchronous
frequency range, while still being capacitive at the
fundamental frequency; thereby not creating a subsyn-
chronous resonance with the generator—transmission
circuit. The same technology can be used to boost
compensation levels and damp system oscillations to
improve stability margins.
The thyristor valve is mounted in a valve housing located
on the platform. Trigger pulses are sent via optical fibers

Static Var Compensator (SVC)
The benefits of reactive power compensation

are well established. By reducing the negative
impact of reactive power demand in high-voltage
AC networks, the capacity of transmission systems
can be dramatically increased. This means greater
reliability and better utilization of existing lines.
One means of supplying the dynamic, reactive-
power reserve requirements of the transmission
network is through the use of Static Var
Compensators (SVC). SVCs are shunt-connected
devices that can rapidly supply the increased
reactive power demands of the network,
following contingencies; thereby helping
to regulate and stabilize the AC voltage.
APPLICATIONS
SVCs are usually deployed for one or more of the Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR)
following reasons:
A reactor and a thyristor valve are incorporated
To stabilize voltage in weak systems in each single-phase branch. The reactive power

thyristor valve in relation to the natural current zero.
To increase the transient stability limit
A TCR is used together with a fixed-capacitor bank
To increase damping of small disturbances when reactive power generation is required.
To improve voltage control and stability
To damp power swings
The characteristics of ABB’s Static Var Compensators
are flexibility, dependability, and exceptional control-
lability. ABB has an SVC solution for every situation.
The SVC can be used for symmetrical, three-phase
control or phase-by-phase control.

SVC Light (STATCOM) +541-298-4161
The static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)

is comprised of a voltage source converter (VSC)
connected in shunt. The shunt-connected VSC
is based on converter technology with valves
comprised of solid-state switching components
with turn-off capability and anti-parallel diodes.
Performance of the STATCOM is analogous to that
of a synchronous machine, generating a balanced
three-phase set of sinusoidal voltages at the funda-
mental frequency, with controllable amplitude and
phase angle. The device, however, has no inertia and
does not contribute to the short circuit capacity.
APPLICATIONS
The STATCOM consists of a voltage source Static compensator, comprising VSC,
converter operating as an inverter with a capacitor coupling transformer T, and control
as the DC energy source. It is controlled to regulate
the voltage in much the same way as an SVC.

Switchgear Systems Integration

Primary and Secondary Unit Substations
A unit substation is a packaged substation consisting

of a power transformer that is mechanically and
electrically connected in two places: to a disconnect
device on the primary side of the transformer and
to power distribution equipment on the secondary
side of the transformer. Primary unit substations are
supplied with medium-voltage, outgoing distribution
circuits (switchgear or motor control) connected to
the secondary side. Secondary unit substations refer
to applications in which the outgoing distribution
section is rated at less than 1000 V.
ABB unit substations are supplied for the most
demanding applications of industrial energy users,
water treatment facilities, large commercial projects,
and other energy-intensive installations. ABB unit
substations are pre-engineered, close-coupled packages
available for indoor or outdoor installations. Close-
coupling reduces floor space, installation costs, and
energy losses. The customer issues only one requisi-
tion and one purchase order, works with one sales
representative and manufacturer, and receives a single
set of carefully coordinated drawings and matched
equipment for trouble-free mechanical installation and
electrical interconnection at the job site. The entire
package is delivered with one brand name and single-
point accountability for warranty and performance.

Large, rapidly varying loads such as compressor motors,

welders, and electric arc furnaces cause voltage fluctua-
tions (flickers) and harmonics on utility power systems.
The primary cause of voltage fluctuations is reactive
power drawn on a weak power system. Harmonics are
generated by non-linear loads such as solid-state motor
drives and electric arcs. The MiniComp® and SVC Light®
are an active means of mitigating flickers and harmonics
for both utilities and industrial facilities.
Faults on utility systems result in voltage sags, swells,

and momentary outages on end-user systems. These types
of events have been shown as the predominant cause
of process interruptions in automated manufacturing
facilities. ABB has several products available to alleviate
momentary voltage problems at utility distribution
voltage (4.16 — 34.5 kV). The process for choosing the
optimal system should involve consideration of the type
of power quality problem, sensitivity of the load, and
engineering economics.

Harmonic Filter Systems

Non-linear loads such as variable speed drives (VSDs),
rectifiers, or other electronic loads can cause harmonic
currents to flow in the power system. Harmonics
are often associated with overheating transformers,
capacitor bank failures, nuisance protective relay trips,
or common operational problems with sensitive loads
close to the harmonics source.
In addition to causing harmonic distortion in the system
voltage, non-linear loads often operate with a poor power
factor. This can result in utility penalties and voltage
depressions on a weak system.
To improve power factor on a non-linear load and reduce
utility surcharges, capacitor systems must include a tun-
ing reactor. Untuned power factor correction capacitors
can actually amplify a harmonic by creating a resonant
condition.
Tuned capacitors provide a low impedance path for
harmonic currents generated by non-linear loads. This
reduces distortion in the voltage waveform, alleviating
most or all of the other problems associated with
harmonic distortion.

MINICOMP®
A MINICOMP provides voltage compensation by offering a rapidly
variable source of reactive power. The MINICOMP delivers reactive
power close to the load, thereby reducing the reactive power
supplied by the power system. MINICOMP output is adjusted on a
cycle-by-cycle basis, which is normally faster than the demands of
an electromechanical load. The net result is a significant reduction
in voltage flicker.
Two MINICOMP configurations are available. For applications from
1 to 6 MVAr, a voltage source converter (VSC) is used as a variable
source of reactive power. Applications from 6 to 20 MVAr use a
thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) to control reactive power output.
Both configurations can utilize fixed or switched capacitors to
achieve the required level of compensation.

SVC-Q +919-856-2392
SVC-Q is a reactive power compensation

system primarily for electric arc furnaces
(EAF) and large rolling mills.
To achieve optimum performance, an
arc furnace requires a stable and steady
voltage supply. SVC-Q compensates for
the random variations in reactive power
demand from an EAF. The net result is an
improvement in EAF utilization.
SVC-Q uses a thyristor-controlled reactor
(TCR) and fixed capacitor banks. The
banks are split into two or more branches,
and reactors are used to achieve the
proper tuning characteristics.

SVC Light® +919-856-2392
Static Var Compensators have been used

to improve electric arc furnace perform-
ance for many years. The unbalanced,
erratic nature of an electric arc furnace
causes radical swings in reactive power
demand, which can ultimately result
in irritating electric lamp flicker to
neighboring utility customers. SVC Light
improves furnace productivity similar
to a traditional SVC and offers superior
voltage flicker mitigation.
Existing mills forced to reduce production
due to utility flicker concerns can benefit
from the superior flicker suppression of
SVC Light. In addition, more green field Utility PCC
sites can be considered for arc furnaces
since SVC Light can alleviate flicker even
on weaker areas of utility systems.
The basis for SVC Light is a DC-to-AC
voltage source converter that uses pulse
width modulation (PWM). Superior flicker AC
mitigation is achieved by utilizing the fast DC

The DVR is a power-quality solution for voltage sags and swells. This
system is series-connected and mitigates voltage sags by injecting the
“missing” voltage during a disturbance. DVR response time is less than
1 millisecond. By compensating for only the “missing” part of a voltage
sag, a DVR converter and energy storage can be of significantly lower
rating than a DUPS protecting the same load. The actual converter
rating is determined by the voltage boost necessary to restore a
worst-case voltage sag back to an acceptable range.

Metal-Enclosed Capacitor Bank

Manufactured at
ABB Inc.
Quebec, QC, Canada
SIKAP +418-650-9224
SIKAP is a dead-front capacitor bank designed for

distribution substation applications. Available in ratings
of 5, 15, and 28 kV up to 28.8 Mvar, this unique, compact
design comes completely factory-assembled and tested
in a heavy duty, outdoor metal enclosure, ready to be
secured to its foundation. It’s almost as simple as “plug-
ging it in.” The enclosed design provides protection
against accidental contact by humans, animals, birds, etc.
No fencing or other type of external barrier is required
in the substation.
SIKAP is a self-cooled, low maintenance bank, with no
requirements for fans, heaters, or air filters, thus reducing
downtime and operation and maintenance costs. SIKAP
is often less than one-half the size of a conventional
externally fused bank, permitting its installation in
locations where space is at a premium.
SIKAP utilizes internally fused capacitors for greater
availability and reliability. Should a capacitor element
fail, that element is isolated from others within the
individual unit, resulting in a very small capacitance
change. This feature makes the SIKAP design, with its
internally fused capacitors, even more valuable for
harmonic filter applications.
A simple protection scheme, provided with the SIKAP,
will monitor element failures and provide protective
bank alarm and trip signals to the main assembly
switching device.

Harmonic Filter Systems Quebec, Canada
+514-856-6222
Modern industrial processes place high demands on +514-856-6266
electric power supply quality. Many of the loads on
power systems such as variable speed drives, welding
equipment, converters, rectifiers, and arc furnaces
generate harmonics. Some of the problems that may
occur due to excessive harmonic currents are:
overheating of motors, transformers, and cables

CXP, High-Voltage, Expulsion

The Type CXP Fuse is an expulsion fuse. It is designed for outdoor
use only. CXP fuses exist in voltage classes of 8 kV, 15/20 kV, and
25 kV. The primary application of the CXP is to fuse individual
capacitor units in standard outdoor equipment. These fuses
have a parallel energy capability of 30,000 Joules. They are not
normally applied with more than 20,000 Joules of parallel energy,
equivalent to 6000 kvar of capacitors, because of the possibility
of capacitor case rupture. Fuse links are not included with the
CXP; they must be requested.

COL, Current-Limiting, Expulsion

The Type COL Fuse is a full-range, current-limiting capacitor fuse.
It is designed for outdoor use only. COL fuses exist in voltage
classes of 2.8 kV, 5.5 kV, 8.3 kV, 15.5 kV, and 23 kV, and are applied
to individual capacitor units in outdoor stacking equipment. The
COL fuse is current-limiting, indicating, and disconnecting.
The Type COL current-limiting capacitor fuse is a two-part design:
The high-current section interrupts high 60 Hz fault currents and/or
high frequency discharge current from parallel capacitors. The low-
voltage section consists of a standard NEMA type K fuse link mounted
in a fiber tube. The low-current section interrupts fault associated
with progressive failure of the capacitor unit’s dielectric, or 60 Hz
fault current limited by the circuit impedance to low values.
