Aluminium applications

• AC 800PEC Unit controller ↔ AC 800PEC Master controller communication via PEC - PEC fiberptical link (100 μs)

• Units can be controlled independent from master

• Allows emergency operation (full smooth current control, in emergency mode, without AC 800PEC,available only in combination with DCS800 premagnetization)

• Predictive maintenance features can be included

• Open circuit-, over current-, under voltage-,over voltage protection packages included in software

- A newly developed OPC (open circuit protection) stand-alone PLC (programmable logic controller), working in combination with the AC 800PEC Master controller functions or as

standalone protection, in case of the master panel maintenance

• Controlled shutdown in an event, not needing an immediate trip → less disturbance for your processes

• Potline load swing detection and load shedding function integrated in application software

• On Load Tap Changer fast tapping function in order to prevent DC current overload during disturbances

• A special potline-to-earth resistance measure ment system based on an AC 800PEC family available (PERMS)

• Maximum power regulation

- To prevent over-shooting of power consumption and to support your power generators

• Maximum DC voltage regulation for stabilizing your process

implementation

• Full integration into ABB Ability™ System 800xA

• Innovative and flexible use of FPGAs to include protocols and application functionality in the devices without creating additional

processor load

• Optical communication

• Industrial grade hardware with no moving parts

• Long life cycle, easy upgrading

• Robust reliance file system, insusceptible post power loss
