2Introdu tion
A thyristor unit is semiconductor device which acts as a switch formed by two thyristors in ant parallel.
To switch on the alternating current the input signal will be on and the thyristor will switch off at first
Zero Crossing voltage with no input signal.
The benefits of thyristor units compared with elettromechanical contactors are numerouses: no moving
parts, no maintenance and capacity to switch very fast. Thyristors are the only solution to control
transformers and special loads that change resistance with temperature and with age.
2.1 Advantages ompared with analog thyristor unit
CD3000E is an universal Thyristor unit, designed to control resistive or inductive loads including three
phase transformers. The electronic circuit is completely digital and is based on a powerful
microprocessor with high performance that allow the use in different ways:
•Single cycle
•Burst Firing with soft start and current limit
•Delayed triggering
•Phase Angle with soft start and current limit
On same unit can be used different feed back that define the control mode:
•Voltage
•Current
•Power VxI
•External 0÷ 0Vdc
On same unit can be used different input:
•4÷20mA
•0÷ 0Vdc
•Potentiometer 0KΩ
•SSR
Communication RS485 is a standard feature of CD3000E this allows the use of many information like:
tension, current, power, load state and all the parameters for diagnostic and configuration. Ulterior
advantages of the digital system vs the analogical is the flexibility and the possibility of implement
special characteristics without change the hardware. Several strategies can be implemented and
selected through the configuration parameters.
With CD-KP, you can have access to the configuration parameters without expose at the dangerous
voltage inside the cabinet and without stop the plant.
