ABB PCS 6000 system power distribution cabinet GBU72 3BHE055094R0004

Date: Sept 09, 2025Views:



  The GBU72 3BHE055094R0002 in the ABB PCS 6000 system is a grid circuit breaker unit, a core control cabinet component of medium-voltage inverter systems. It provides circuit switching, power distribution, multiple protections, and arc extinguishing functions. It is widely used in rail transit, industrial drives, renewable energy, and other fields. It requires standardized installation and maintenance to ensure safe and stable operation in high-voltage environments.

  Core Function Analysis

  Circuit On/Off Control

  Precisely connects and disconnects grid circuits, ensuring normal power supply and power outage operations.

  Applicable to switching power semiconductor devices (such as IGBTs/GTOs) in high-voltage inverter systems, ensuring safe equipment startup and shutdown.

  Power Distribution and Protection

  Power distribution: Rationally distributes power to various devices or branch circuits, optimizing power transmission efficiency.

  Overload protection: Automatically disconnects the circuit when the current exceeds the rated value, preventing equipment damage.

  Short-circuit protection: Rapidly responds to short-circuit faults to prevent short-circuit current from damaging the system.

  Undervoltage protection: Activates when the grid voltage falls below the specified value, preventing equipment shutdown or damage due to voltage anomalies.

  Circuit breaker control: Enables closing/opening of the grid input, supporting remote or local control.

  Grid-side synchronization: Ensures frequency and phase synchronization between the inverter and the grid, preventing grid-connection shock.

  Protection mechanism: Integrated fault detection for overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and short circuits rapidly disconnects the circuit (response time <1μs).

  Communication coordination: Communicates with a master controller (such as the AC 800PEC) via optical fiber or MODBUS protocol, supporting status feedback and parameter configuration.

  Arc extinguishing function

  Advanced arc extinguishing technology and arc extinguishing chamber design rapidly extinguish arcs generated by circuit switching.

  Limits the duration and peak value of short-circuit currents, reducing equipment losses and improving grid stability.
