Product Overview
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Thyro-PX DC is a communication-enabled SCR power controller rectifier in
a 6-pulse (B6C) configuration. Due to its modular design, multiple units can be
combined to create a 12-pulse (B12C) or an 18-pulse (B18C) rectifier system. The
unit can be installed where DC voltages, currents, or power must be controlled
precisely. Several modes of operation and control, good coupling ability to process
and automation technology, high control precision by application of a 32-bit
processor, and simple handling ensure that the Thyro-PX DC power controller is
suitable for high current DC applications.
The Thyro-PX DC power controller is suitable for the following applications:
• Direct supply of resistive loads
• Rectifier systems consisting of up to 3 B6C stacks to create an 18 pulse system
(B18C)
Due to the use of high quality thyristors, the Thyro-PX DC power controller has a
type range of up to 1800 A, and the nominal design loads can reach up to ~1.5 MW at
950 VDC.
