ABB/PCS100 AVC-40
Production information
Product Description: The PCS100 AVC-40 active voltage regulator is designed for droop correction in commercial and industrial applications. It has load capacities from 150 kVA to 3600 kVA, with higher ratings available upon request.
Detailed Information
ABB’s Active Voltage Regulator (AVC) requires no additional energy storage components. It continuously monitors the input voltage, and if it deviates from the rated voltage level, the inverter and the series-connected injection transformer immediately provide appropriate compensation voltage, adjusting the output voltage to the load to the rated value and preventing the load from being affected by mains voltage disturbances.
Continuous Protection from the Most Common Mains Voltage Problems in Modern Power Grids
Even the most modern power networks are not perfect, and voltage drop is the most common cause of equipment failure in today’s automation industry. The PCS100 AVC-40 is built on a proven and reliable converter platform, providing instantaneous voltage drop and surge correction to ensure maximum productivity.
Ensuring Trouble-Free Operation Even in Harsh Electrical Environments
The PCS100 AVC-40 is designed for industrial and large commercial applications. Its industrial design and robust overload capacity mean it can handle conditions that others cannot. Furthermore, it includes an internal bypass system for backup, ensuring continued supply to the load from the power network.
Low operating costs, faster return on investment
The PCS100 AVC-40 boasts industry-leading efficiency exceeding 98% with minimal heat dissipation, resulting in minimal power and cooling costs. The PCS100 AVC-40 requires no batteries, as it draws the necessary extra energy from the mains to compensate for voltage correction. With no battery storage components, maintenance costs are low, leading to a very low cost of ownership for the PCS100 AVC-40 system. Its small footprint allows for easy installation in server rooms or enclosed spaces without the need for additional floor space design and construction.
