AB-310 Application Board Excitation

The application board AB-310 (gate control) is required for control of thyristor bridges and is therefore mandatory in
each HIPASE-E device. Additional analog and digital inputs and outputs are used for measured value recording or
data point output or the detection of application-specific conditions such as the fuse trip. The application board AB-
310 requires at least one external pulse amplifier type LG6X. The synchronization of gate pulses derives from three
electrically isolated analog inputs which are connected either directly or via an auxiliary winding of the exciter
transformer to the power supply of the thyristor bridge. A ground fault on one of the three synchronizing voltages
does not affect the functionality of the gate control. For the maximum number of application boards in the device
please refer to Device Features.

9.1. Features

 Possibility of two-channel version of power supply, internal Ethernet communication and clock
synchronization to increase availability
 State monitoring and control of the thyristor bridge (synchronous voltage, pulse generation)
 Galvanically isolated field current and field voltage measurement inputs via transducer
 Detection of diode failures at generators with rotating rectifier by field current analysis
 Current distribution between thyristor bridges (use of 2 pieces of AB-310 required)
 Determining the temperature of the rotor winding via field voltage and current
 Requires external pulse isolation amplifier (e. g. LG6X) for thyristor firing
 Grounding point for shield wire on terminal end
 Monitoring the minimum impedance of the gate pulse cable for 2 groups, each with 3 channels
 2 x digital output for enabling and disabling of gate pulse blocking, 1 x digital input for command gate pulse
blocking
 Slot for optional extension module AM-010

9.4.2. Connection diagram

For proper operation of the pulse amplifier, it must be connected to a 24 VDC / 1 A auxiliary supply via X10.

On the base board of the LG6X, the jumper X910 must be equipped!

Connection AB-310 with LG6X for all bridge types. The adjustment to the actual type of bridge is done by means of
parameterization and by means of wiring at the output side of the LG6X. The grounding of 24V power supply is exemplary
connected to the negative pole, but can be connected to the positive pole instead too.
