ABBDCS Thyristor Power Converters for DC Drive Systems 25 to 5150 A Operating Instructions DCS 600 MultiDrive

OFF“ or „Emergency Stop“ respectively „control panel“ or „PC tool“.

Intended use The operating instructions cannot take into consideration every

possible case of configuration, operation or maintenance. Thus,

they mainly give such advice only, which is required by qualified

personnel for normal operation of the machines and devices in

industrial installations.

If in special cases the electrical machines and devices are intended for use in non-industrial installations - which may require

stricter safety regulations (e.g. protection against contact by

children or similar) -, these additional safety measures for the

installation must be provided by the customer during assembly.

How to use this manual The purpose of these operating instructions is to provide detailed

information on how to start up a thyristor power converter from the

DCS 600 series.

Note: If it is not mentioned explicitly all details given in

these Operating Instructions will be valid for series

DCS 600!

Contents of this manual Chapter 1 - Introduction

It describes how to use this manual and the boundary conditions

applying.

Chapter 2 - Start-Up Instructions

We recommend working your way through the Start-Up Instructions

step by step, since in this way you will get to perform all important

parameter setting routines.

Chapter 3 - How to Handle the Control and Display Panel

This chapter describes how to operate the CDP 312 control and

display panel.

Chapter 4 - Signals and Troubleshooting

This chapter describes the available signals and possibilities of display with DCS 600. As far as fault signals are concerned there will

be indicated measures (actions) to be taken for troubleshooting.

Target group This manual is designed to help those responsible for planning, installing, starting up and servicing the thyristor power converter.

These people should possess

• basic knowledge of physics and electrical engineering, electrical

wiring principles, components and symbols used in electrical engineering, and

• basic experience with DC drives and products.

These Operating Instructions

Incoming inspection After opening this package, you should check whether it contains

the following items:

● DCS 600 thyristor power converter in the configuration

ordered

● DCS 600 publications

● Accessories, including manuals if ordered

● Final test report

Check the consignment for any signs of damage. If you find any,

please contact the insurance company or the supplier.

Check the particulars given on the unit’s rating plate to make sure

prior to installation and start-up that you have received the correct

unit type and unit version.

If the consignment is incomplete or contains any incorrect items,

please contact the supplier.

CAUTION! The thyristor power converter weighs quite a lot and

should therefore not be held by the front cover. Please put the unit

down only on its back (sizes C1 to C3). Always use due care when

handling the unit, so as to avoid injuries or damage.

Storage and transport If the unit had been in storage prior to installation or is transported

to another location, care must be taken to ensure that the environmental conditions are complied with (see "System Description

DCS 600").

Rating plate For purposes of identification, each thyristor power converter is fitted with rating plates, stating the type code and the serial number,

which serve for each unit’s individual identification.

The type code contains information on the characteristics and the

configuration of the unit. The first three digits of the serial number

refer to the year and week of manufacture. The last digits complete

the serial number so as to preclude two units receiving the same

type code and the same serial number.

The group 4 provides information on the unit’s software configuration.

The technical data and specifications are valid as of going to press.

ABB reserves the right to make subsequent alterations.

If you have any questions concerning your drive system, please

contact your local ABB agent.

CAUTION: it is absolutely essential that the applicable accident prevention

regulations be observed by the user (in this context, please also

read the chapter entitled "Safety Instructions")!

How this chapter is structured

For better understanding the individual steps of start-up work are distinguished by

a) frames without any additional marking on the left side:

These steps of start-up work must always be performed (= mandatory start-up work)!

Example:

42.06 = Rated line voltage

This is used to scale those parameters referring to the line voltage, .....

b) frames with marking on the left side (“columns” shaded in grey):

These steps of start-up work have to be performed only when the condition stated

(as heading) applies to the selected drive configuration! After this work has been

completed, the mandatory start-up work has to be continued.

Example:

Set this only for units with a rated current ≥ 2050A in case of control board exchange!
