part is collecting the information to install,
operate, and maintain each component—then
keeping it up to date. Industrial IT from ABB
changes all of this.
With its windows-based open architecture and
compatible building blocks, ABB’s IndustrialIT
bridges the gap between your assets and infor-
mation technology that results in faster system
design, deployment, asset management, optimiza-
tion, and collaboration.

Power Distribution Centers
A Power Distribution Center (PDC) is a pre-fabricated,

modular, skid-mounted outdoor housing for switchgear
and auxiliary equipment. All enclosed equipment is
shipped fully installed, interconnected, and tested by
the manufacturer. This approach provides the benefits
of single-point responsibility, coordination, and account-
ability for a complete unit substation or other electrical
distribution system. It greatly reduces installation
and ownership costs, while improving application
flexibility for sensitive electrical equipment for harsh
outdoor environments.

coupled to switchgear or with bus duct connections, a PDC
can serve as a complete, enclosed primary or secondary
unit substation.
The PDC is a convenient and economical alternative to
onsite building construction (often concrete block), which
usually requires separate acquisition and installation of the
building and various electrical sub-systems. A PDC is also an
attractive alternative to purchasing, installing, and connecting
outdoor types of loose electrical sub-systems.

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.

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
140,000 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.

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
sensor (MOCT).This module provides a 1.0 A
Transformers
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 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
• Self-actuating, pressure-relief device
Transformers
• Two (2) ground bosses, 12⁄ " — 13 NC tapped hole, 71⁄ 6" deep
Externally clamped, removable, high-voltage bushing wells and a
parking stand between the bushing wells are provided for attachment of
bushing accessories.
Externally clamped, low-voltage bushings with contact nuts
NEMA safety labels

Overcurrent protection:
• An internal, primary protective link removes the transformer
from the system in the event of an internal fault.
• An oil-immersed, bayonet-type fuse link removes the transformer
from the system in case of an internal fault (fault sensing) or a
secondary short or overload (overload sensing).This fuse is a
drawout design and is supplied in series with an isolation link.
A drip plate is provided to prevent oil from dripping onto the
bushing or elbow.
Primary connections:
• Universal bushing wells (standard) and load-break inserts

JUMBO
JUMBO distribution transformers are designed as

single-phase, two-winding transformers—specifically
for “Step-Down” applications.
ISO 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.
Sheet conductor in LV windings enables the electrical centers
in the high and low to align themselves, minimizing the
vertical component of short-circuit forces.
Reinforced core-coil assembly provides greater short circuit
withstand capability.
SPECIFICATIONS
Prototype testing ensures the Jumbo design can meet industry 50 — 500 kVA
short circuit standards and provide reliable service. 65°C rise
Self-venting and resealing cover eliminates the need for an 60 Hz standard, 50 Hz optional
auxiliary pressure-relief device and offers increased safety High voltages: 7200, 14,400,

ANSI support lugs (hanger brackets) are rod-welded to the Low voltages: 2400, 4800, 7200,

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.
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

Three-Phase, T-T
A T-T or T-connected overhead distribution transformer 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.

RESIBLOC®
RESIBLOC transformers feature windings that are
hermetically cast in epoxy without the use of a
mold. The epoxy insulation system is reinforced by
a licensed, glass fiber roving technique that binds
the coil together for unsurpassed mechanical strength.
This allows for design optimization through 25 MVA.
RESIBLOC transformers provide ultimate strength to
withstand thermal and mechanical stresses associated
with severe climates, cycling loads, and short circuit
forces as well as environmental protection for
severe operating conditions found in the most

Unit Substation
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-
istic of ABB liquid-filled transformers. A unit substation
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.

Phase-Shifting Transformers
Phase-shifting transformers (PST) are

used to control the flow of real power
in transmission lines by manipulating
the phase angle difference. The phase
angle shift is obtained by combining
the voltages from different phases in
the PST.

All bushing products are manufactured to the international standards of
ISO 9001.
STANDARD FEATURES
Type CORIP is a dry, oil free, capacitively-graded condenser bushing.
The condenser consists of an electrical grade paper, wound over
a central tube. The capacitive grading is achieved by inserting
aluminum foils during the winding process. The condenser is then
vacuum heat dried and impregnated with a special electrical grade
high glass transition temperature tough epoxy.
The upper part of the condenser is enclosed and attached to a
composite insulator, consisting of one-piece glass fiber reinforced
epoxy impregnated tube with silicone weathersheds to provide
the necessary creepage and arcing distance. The corrosion resist-
ant mounting flange and the upper metallic housing are an integral
part of the upper insulator and provide the mechanical strength to
the bushing.
The use of silicone composite insulator and absence of oil, make
the bushing virtually maintenance free and less susceptible to

Tap Changers—Load

Manufactured at
ABB Inc.
Alamo, TN
Type UZ
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™
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.

• Open (IP00), no enclosure New Berlin, WI
• NEMA 1 (IP21), with a steel cubicle for contact protection
• NEMA 4 (IP54), with a steel cubicle for corrosion protection against
aggressive environments
All the rectifier components are easily accessible—and this also applies to the enclosed
versions. Service and maintenance are simple and possible without restriction. Because
of the extremely compact construction, the MCR is especially suitable for extensions or
for conversions of existing installations.
Optical transmission of the gate pulses
The transmission of the gate pulses by fiber optics gives the system additional flexibility
and operational security. Distances of up to several hundred meters from the gate firing to
the control electronics are possible.

DLA and WLA
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.
WLA Starters
Same as for DLA starters except for
reversing applications.

Type PSS, Low-Voltage
ABB low-voltage softstarters now cover the whole

range from 3 A to 1840 A. The PSS line brings a wide
array of benefits for smaller motors in a flexible,
compact form.
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.
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
limit for starting and deceleration time for
stopping. Class 10 overload protection is
standard for Type PSS enclosed softstarters.

Type PST, Low-Voltage
ABB, a leader in power and automation, has developed a new generation of

softstarters. The PST series of softstarters are available for operating voltages
from 208 to 690 Vac and full-load line currents of 30 to 1050 A.When used
on wye-delta wound motors, PST softstarters are capable of “inside the delta”
operation and are UL listed for starting motors up to 1800 HP.
Unlike other starting methods, PST softstarters provide smooth acceleration
of the driven load. This prolongs the life of mechanical components such
as coupling, belts, and gearboxes. By utilizing closed-loop current control,
PST softstarters help minimize the impact of motor starting on the
electrical network.
In addition, all PST softstarters include a soft stop feature.When engaged,
the PST soft stop feature results in a slower, gentler stopping of driven
load. This eliminates “hammering” in pumping systems and prolongs the
life of gearboxes and drive belts when operating compressors, mixers,
and conveyors.
PST softstarters are UL Listed, CSA Certified, and CE approved.

Power Electronic Brakes
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 Wood products industries
of microprocessor-controlled sensing Aggregate/mining
determines when the motor shaft

has come to a stop. Braking current
is removed when the motor stops, Food processing
eliminating excess braking current, Machine tools
which means longer motor life. 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.

The ABB Type N and NL 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 Safety
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
relays, which monitor each other by means of a
special-purpose circuit.
Diversity is provided thanks to the combination of N.C.
contact and N.O. contact. Cyclic monitoring of the safety
circuit in each ON/OFF cycle ensures maximum reliability.
Thanks to the two-channel control and/or control, which
is immune to shorts across contacts, it is also possible
to monitor signaling devices such as emergency stop APPLICATIONS

Wire Duct, DIN Rail and Spiral Wrap
ABB wiring ducts are now available in grey and

white, with a choice of eight base sizes (15, 25,
40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 150 mm). This brings the
ABB offering to 28 total size combinations, all avail-
able in 8 — 12 mm slots (standard) and 4 — 6 mm
slots (high density).
Flexible thermoplastic wiring ducts (available in
seven sizes) are ideal for every situation in which
wiring is subject to flexion or torsion.
A new design of wiring ducts with circular knock-
outs in the sides to facilitate branch connections,
using rigid and corrugated conduits has also been
introduced for environments in which cables
require greater protection against external agents
(elevator rooms are a typical example).
ABB has introduced two wiring duct cutting
machines and a new hand cutting tool.
The updated range is completed by installation
accessories and tools: Plastic rivets, wire stops,
label tags, new wiring ducts bases, a rivet gun,
and adhesive tape.
The 80 and 100 mm high versions feature cable
holder moldings in the middle of the straight
sections of the ribs.
Cable ties are available in white or black and in
many different lengths and sizes
Spiral wrap is available in translucent polyethelene
and self-extinguishing polyethelene material

ABB
ABB offers two major low-voltage product groups within

the Circuit Protective Devices family: Circuit breakers and
disconnect switches. Circuit breakers offer the best solution
for restoring the service condition rapidly in case of fault,
providing at the same time optimum protection of the
electrical installation. From miniature circuit-breakers of
the Pro M range to molded-case Isomax and Emax power
breaker families, ABB has a reliable breaker for every
application need.
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
rated to satisfy rugged industrial environments.

Unique sequential protection system

Fuse protection
ABB capacitors are provided with patented
IPE (Internally Protected Elements), which is an
integral and important part of the sequential
protection system. Additional fuses are NOT
required for protection of ABB capacitor
elements, but external overcurrent protection
may be needed for the installation in order to
meet the National Electric Code requirements
concerning protection of the conductors
feeding the capacitors.

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)
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

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.

IS-Limiter™
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
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.

AMVAC™, ADVAC™, R-ADVAC™, and Type VHK
AMVAC 15 — 27 kV Magnetically Actuated Vacuum Circuit Breakers

AMVAC circuit breakers have been fully tested to the most recent versions of ANSI
C37.04, C37.06, and C37.09. Using “k” factor equals 1 as the test criteria, the AMVAC
is the first ANSI medium-voltage circuit breaker to successfully complete standard
and definite purpose capacitor switching tests as described in the revised standards.
Available in stationary and drawout forms, this next generation circuit breaker offers
solutions for many applications. The AMVAC has very low maintenance because of
the permanent magnet technology.
UL Listing Available, ISO 9001 Certified
ADVAC 5 —15 kV Drawout Vacuum Circuit Breakers

ADVAC advanced design vacuum circuit breakers feature a simple operating mecha-
nism designed specifically for use with vacuum interrupters. The full range of ANSI
ratings is available through 15 kV, 1000 MVA, and 3000 A. ADVAC breakers have self-
aligning primary and secondary contacts, with fully automatic operation of both
primary shutters and secondary contacts. Maintenance features include front access
to the operating mechanism, manual spring charging system, and integral wheels
for easy floor maneuvering. The racking system is self-contained so maintenance can
be performed outside the breaker compartment and away from energized primary
and secondary circuits. Optional on-board auxiliary contacts eliminate the need for
cell-mounted MOC switches and related mechanical linkages. Please refer to page
246 for ratings and other important features.
R-ADVAC 5 — 15 kV Fixed-Mounted and Retrofit

ADVAC 5 — 15 kV circuit breakers are available in fixed-mounted R-ADVAC arrange-
ments 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, and 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 5 kV
ratings 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 operating 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)
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
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
ABB has formulated and patented a 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.

The ABB line of single-phase disconnects are designed

for use on overhead distribution feeders and in outdoor
distribution substations. These switches may be used to
provide a visible break point for maintenance personnel,
for bypassing and isolating equipment from the distribu-
tion system, or in the case of the inline tension disconnect
for manually switching de-energized or parallel circuits.
The ABB line of single-phase disconnects can be mounted

in a variety of positions for ease of use. The LSID and SID
disconnects can be mounted like a standard cutout,
underhung, or mounted directly on a pole. The DCD dis-
connect and RBD bypass disconnect can be mounted verti-
cally, underhung or polemounted, while the ITD is mount-
ed inline. Blade stops are also available for many of the
single-phase disconnects to prevent the switch from closing
under high momentary currents.

Dead-Tank

Type PM/PMI 38 kV — 72 kV
The 15 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 PM/PMI 123 kV — 170 kV
The 123 kV through 170 kV PM type breakers are an

extension of the high-quality, reliable 72PM breaker
design. These breakers are among the lightest and
most compact in their class. They consist 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 monitored
by a temperature compensated, gas density switch.
The rated SF6 gas pressure is 87.5 PSIG at 20°C. This
unit has an installed base of more than 5000 breakers
and has been in production for over 12 years.

Type PMR/PMRI 245 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 245PMRI 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,
single-break, SF6 gas puffer and self-blast unit
capable of interrupting 40 kA faults within three
cycles. The speed-doubling gear and rack drives
the arcing contact plug with an equal and
opposite velocity to the arcing contact fingers. High-creep and high-altitude bushings
The design results in a small interrupter with Continuous current ratings up to 4000 A
high-speed capacitor switching capability.

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.

PEXLIM-A
The PEXLIM-A polymer arrester has been verified to meet or exceed interme-
diate class requirements of ANSI C62.11 (IEEE Standard for Metal Oxide Surge
Arresters for AC Power Circuits) and Line Discharge Class 1 per IEC standards.
The PEXLIM-A arrester is designed to meet the following performance criteria:
Energy capability (kJ/kV of duty cycle rating):
• Single impulse: Design performance rating (4 msec. duration)—2.6 kJ/kV
• Line discharge impulse: Per IEC 60099-4 within 1 min.—2.4 kJ/kV
Protective level @ 10 kA:
• Per unit of voltage rating—2.97
Pressure-relief capability:
• 20 kA
Service conditions:
• Altitude—0 -10,000 ft. (3048 m)
• Ambient temperature— - 40ºC to +45ºC
STANDARD FEATURES
Construction—ABB’s type PEXLIM-A arrester
consists of high-performance, metal oxide disks
in a shatterproof, polymer housing. SPECIFICATIONS
Reduced electrical clearance—Polymer Dimensions are specified in inches (mm).
construction results in much smaller housing
dimensions in comparison with porcelain units
of the same voltage rating.
Lightweight—The type PEXLIM-A arrester is
less than 25% of the weight of its porcelain
counterpart, which results in easier handling
and installation.
Damage-resistant—Polymer construction
reduces possible shipping and handling
damage as well as damage due to vandalism.
Safety—Shatterproof construction provides
greater safety for personnel as well as
nearby equipment.

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.

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

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 conditions 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.

Carbon in Ash Monitor
ABB’s Carbon in Ash Load Instrument marks the latest
technology in the measurement of unburned carbon
in ash.
Its patented real-time, non-extractive monitoring system
incorporates advanced microwave technology for reliable,
accurate measurement of carbon.
It is the only measurement system of its kind that can
be integrated into a closed-loop optimization control
system. This approach offers plant personnel real-time
opportunities to improve efficiencies and enhance
plant profitability.
In addition, the Carbon in Ash Load Instrument measures
the quality of ash you produce. Quality ash can be sold
as a profitable by-product.
FEATURES
For instance, a typical 170 mW unit can generate
230 tons/day of ash during the non-ozone season.
This translates to a total of $800,000 in ash sales per
year, or an ROI of 2 months.
The instrument is designed for easy installation and
minimal maintenance. Other benefits include:
Unique online measurement technique
Highly accurate measurements in real-time
Complete in-situ measurement method
Unique closed-loop control capability SPECIFICATIONS

Flame Scanner
Flame Scanners are a crucial part of a boiler’s
safety system. Their primary function is to identify
potentially dangerous “flame out” conditions where
ignition has ceased and continued addition of fuel
could cause an explosion. Because of the flame
scanners’ importance, they must be extremely
reliable and rugged.
Safe FlameTM technology has been reliably in
use since 1982 with over nine thousand (9000)
scanners installed. Safe Flame DFS (Digital Flame
Scanner) is the newest generation of this technology.
It incorporates the speed and precision of digital
signal processing, which makes it the finest flame
scanner available.
The Safe Flame DFS scanner detects the presence of
flame in utility and industrial boilers. It can measure
the characteristics of infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV),
or visible light emitted by the flame.
The system is designed for either wall-fired and/or
tangentially fired systems. It is recommended for
new installations, and it is also available as an
upgrade to existing systems.

The ABB Safe Flame DFS Sensor Module Communication

Server allows boiler operators to take full advantage of
the flame signal outputs from Safe Flame DFS systems.
This is accomplished without the need for extensive
field wiring or the addition of analog input cards
into the plant Digital Control System (DCS). A single
MODBUS port is the only requirement to connect
multiple flame scanner systems to a host computer
or DCS.

Optimax Boiler Cleanliness
The Optimax Boiler Cleanliness module calculates
sectional surface cleanliness values in real-time, as well
as the temperature of gas entering each section.The
model is configured/tuned to unit-specific boiler data.
The results obtained from this module will support
plant operators and engineers in optimizing the
current plant sootblowing strategy. This can translate
into significant heat rate savings while minimizing
tube erosion.
FEATURES
The Optimax Boiler Cleanliness module contains the
following configuration tools:
Convective heat exchanger performance module
Upper and lower furnace performance

Air heater performance
As a result, the Optimax Boiler Cleanliness module

calculates a cleanliness value and gas inlet tempera-
ture for the furnace for each convective section and

Composer Series Engineering Tools
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.

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

market situation. compared to other typical turnkey substations.
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.

Switchgear Systems Integration

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.

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

long distances by overhead transmission lines or sub-
marine 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.

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

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.

HVDC Light
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

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.

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 compen-
sators (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)

A reactor and a thyristor valve are incorporated

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)
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,

as the DC energy source. It is controlled to regulate
the voltage in much the same way as an SVC.

Dry Outdoor Termination, TOS-A 145
The cable termination consists of a solid epoxy insulation made of gray

rubber with outdoor insulation.
The insulation has a capacitive field grading layer which distributes
the voltage equally along the length between the flange and the top
bolt. The aluminum flange is mounted on the bracket.
The cable is connected to the insulation body with an electrically
screened separable connector made of rubber that is secured with
a metallic cover. A bearer plate with four stand-off insulators is used
for an insulated mounting.
The maximum permissible diameter across the sheath of the cable
is 4.13" (105 mm). The diameter across the prepared insulation must
be 2.32" — 3.15" (59 — 80 mm).
The top bolt with a diameter of 1.18, 1.57, 1.97, or 2.36" (30, 40, 50,
or 60 mm) is included in the kit for 145 kV.

Systems
Large, rapidly varying loads such as compressor motors,

welders, and electric arc furnaces cause voltage fluctua-
tions (flicker) 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 flicker 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 (480 V — 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.

SVC-Q
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
Static var compensators have been used to

improve electric arc furnace performance
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 sites
can be considered for arc furnaces since Utility PCC
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
mitigation is achieved by utilizing the fast AC
speed of response (<1 ms) of SVC Light to DC

Series Voltage Restorer (SVR)
The SVR provides the optimum solution for the protection

of sensitive manufacturing processes during partial and
short-time supply failures (e.g., caused by remote faults).
Since the majority of disturbances cause only partial loss
of power and not complete outages, the SVR is able to
compensate up to 90 % of all faults in the electric grid.
The SVR uses the remaining energy from the disturbed
supply system to boost the load voltage back to nominal
values. The SVR covers a power range up to 2500 A at
400 — 600 V and is used in 50 and 60 Hz supply systems.

Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR)
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 UPS 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 City, Canada
SIKAP
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
Modern industrial processes place high demands on

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
overloading and failure of untuned capacitors
damage or malfunctioning electronic equipment
voltage fluctuations and interruptions
Tuned harmonic filters eliminate these problems
by reducing the harmonic content and generating
reactive power.

With leading edge, internally fused capacitor
technology, ABB can obtain sharper harmonic
frequency tuning tolerances than with conventional
externally fused technology. This is particularly
crucial for high-pulse rectifier drives and both
AC and DC arc furnaces.

Surge protection for critical industrial loads:
• Large motors and generators
• Large transformers
• Medium-voltage switchgear and motor control centers
Electrical distribution systems are subject to power surges,
switching transients, faults, and lightning strikes at anytime.
Such occurrences can be damaging to electrical systems, as well
as various apparatus used in a manufacturing process. ABB offers
the Type MSP, a protective device that provides protection for
motors, rotating machines, and transformers, and yields assurance
of continuous operation of the equipment, the electrical system,
and the manufacturing process.
The primary function of the Type MSP motor surge protector
is to guard the winding insulation of the device being protected.
Station class, metal oxide lightning arresters act to limit the maxi-
mum voltage to the device to a predetermined magnitude.
Specially designed surge capacitors, connected in parallel with
the arresters, control the rate of rise of the resultant overvoltage.
The combination of surge arresters and surge capacitors serve to
limit the turn-to-turn insulation stress impressed on the device
being protected.

ABB Type 2GUS surge capacitors provide high transient overvoltage withstand, low
operating losses, and long life. Complete with porcelain bushings, these all-film units
utilize Faradol 800, a non-PCB, completely biodegradable dielectric fluid. Internal
discharge resistors provide a five minute discharge time after de-energization. The
standard operating temperature range is –40°C to +50°C.
ABB Type XPS polymer station class metal oxide surge arresters are supplied as
standard, while ABB Type XPI polymer intermediate class metal oxide surge arresters
are also available as an option. Internal cable connections include phase leads tied
to isolated buswork fixed on porcelain insulators. Pre-punched bus bars provide for
simplified external connections and integrity of the insulation system. Grounding of
the Type MSP motor surge protector is made to the device being protected.
The Type MSP motor surge protectors should be located as close as possible to the
device being protected to ensure maximum protection.Virtually maintenance free,
only an occasional inspection and cleaning may be necessary to check the tightness
of electrical and mechanical connections and the integrity of the insulation system.
The Type MSP motor surge protector is completely factory assembled and tested,
ready for installation and service.

ABB’s motor fuses have the following properties:
Higher current rating within single body dimensions
Tested according to IEC 644 which guarantees excellent
ability to withstand repeated motor starting conditions
Low power losses
Low minimum breaking-current
High breaking capacity and excellent short

Although a motor fuse is normally run at a stationary
current which is much lower than the fuse rated current,
the low-loss characteristics of the CMF fuses make them
especially suitable in compact contactor compartments.

Equipment and Services provided hereunder
and the “direct product” thereof, are intended
for civil use only and will not be used,
directly or indirectly, for the production
of chemical or biological weapons or of
precursor chemicals for such weapons,

resulting from such cancellation. At ABB’s
request, Purchaser shall provide to ABB a
Letter of Assurance and End-User Statement
in a form reasonably satisfactory to ABB.
