Description

Manufacturer: ABB
Part Number: UAD215A105, 3BHE026284R0105
Product Type: CSI Converter Signal Interface Board
Product Overview
The UAD215A105 (3BHE026284R0105) is a rack-mounted signal conditioning and interface PCB for ABB UNITROL static excitation systems and PEC80 power electronic control platforms. It serves as the interface between the power converter (CSI current source inverter) and the main control processor board. This board collects high-voltage converter analog feedback signals, performs galvanic isolation, signal scaling and filtering, then transmits processed measurement data to the main controller for excitation regulation, firing pulse coordination and power converter protection. It is a critical spare for large synchronous generator static excitation cubicles in power plants.
