Description
Product Overview
The ABB UNITROL1000 3BHE006720R0200 is a digital automatic voltage regulator (AVR) belonging to ABB UNITROL1000 excitation control family, designed for synchronous generators ranging from 100kVA up to 80MVA. This controller provides high-precision generator voltage regulation, reactive power and power factor control, together with full excitation limit protection functions. It adopts dual independent processor architecture for control and communication, supporting fast transient response under grid disturbance and load fluctuation. Integrated limiters include overexcitation, underexcitation, V/Hz and stator current limiting, fulfilling global grid code requirements. It supports CMT1000 commissioning software, Ethernet, USB and serial communication interfaces to connect with DCS, SCADA and local HMI. Widely applied in hydro, gas turbine, steam turbine generator sets, marine power systems and industrial backup power plants, stocked as critical spare for generator excitation cabinets.
