Aluminium applications

• AC 800PEC Unit controller ↔ AC 800PEC Master  controller communication via PEC - PEC fiber  optical link (100 μs) 

• Units can be controlled independent from  master 

• Allows emergency operation (full smooth current  control, in emergency mode, without AC 800PEC,  available only in combination with DCS800 premagnetization) 

• Predictive maintenance features can be included

• Open circuit-, over current-, under voltage-,  over voltage protection packages included in  software - A newly developed OPC (open circuit protection) stand-alone PLC (programmable logic  controller), working in combination with the  AC 800PEC Master controller functions or as  standalone protection, in case of the master  panel maintenance 

• Controlled shutdown in an event, not needing  an immediate trip → less disturbance for your  processes 

• Potline load swing detection and load shedding  function integrated in application software 

• On Load Tap Changer fast tapping function in  order to prevent DC current overload during  disturbances 

• A special potline-to-earth resistance measurement system based on an AC 800PEC family  available (PERMS)  

• Maximum power regulation - To prevent over-shooting of power consumption and to support your power generators 

• Maximum DC voltage regulation for stabilizing  your process

Electrical arc furnace applications

• Stable arc detection 

• Different control modes (constant current,  constant power or constant resistance) 

• Fast link to power quality system (PQS) ELREG (electrode regulation; anode hydraulic  system control) features included: 

• Electrode manual control (analog or digital) 

• Electrode fast lift function (with or without  separate fast up valve) 

• Automatic arc strike function 

• Automatic arc restrike function 

• Adaptive electrode control according to furnace  behavior or heat stage 

• Superimposed integral control circuit 

• Voltage fluctuation measurement (stability  index calculation)

• Arc-to-roof detection/protection 

• Arc-to-roof protection during arc strike  sequence 

• Hydraulic oil pressure supervision and  electrode protection 

• Cave-in detection 

• High-voltage detection 

• Counter pressure valve control logic  

• Voltage-to-ground supervision 

• Roof voltage monitoring 

• Electrode auto raise function after furnace off  command (distance or position selectable) 

• Blocking valve control 

• Electrode speed limitation for electrode and  arm protection
