ABB 3BHE013299R0002 Dedicated Power Unit for Turbine Control Systems

Description

3BHE013299R0002

The ABB 3BHE013299R0002 operates as a dedicated power unit in ABB’s turbine automation stack, converting incoming AC power (from the facility’s main grid or backup generator) to regulated 24V DC power for ABB’s turbine control components—including speed controllers, position sensors, and emergency shutdown (ESD) logic solvers. Unlike generic industrial power supplies, it’s designed to integrate seamlessly with ABB’s Turbine Control System (TCS) architecture, mounting directly to the TCS cabinet’s backplane and communicating with the central controller via ABB’s proprietary bus protocol.

This integration enables real-time monitoring of power unit performance: via ABB’s Control Builder M software, engineers can track output voltage, load levels, and internal temperature, receiving instant alerts for issues like overcurrent or voltage drift before they impact turbine control. The unit also features robust vibration resistance (up to 5g peak, per IEC 60068-2-6) and EMI shielding—critical for turbine environments where generator noise and mechanical vibration often disrupt standard power supplies. By acting as the power backbone for ABB’s turbine control system, the ABB 3BHE013299R0002 ensures that every critical turbine function receives consistent, reliable power—even in the most demanding operational conditions.

Main features and advantages:

Choosing the ABB 3BHE013299R0002 delivers critical value for turbine operations, where power reliability directly impacts safety and productivity. Its tight output voltage tolerance (±0.5%) ensures that ABB’s turbine speed controllers and valve actuators receive precise power—preventing the erratic turbine behavior that can occur with less regulated supplies (e.g., speed fluctuations or incorrect valve positioning). This precision translates to improved turbine efficiency: consistent power delivery helps maintain optimal turbine speed and load, reducing fuel consumption in gas/steam turbines by up to 2% compared to systems using generic power units. The unit’s SIL 2 compliance also simplifies safety certification for turbine systems, eliminating the need for additional safety components that add cost and complexity. Over time, the ABB 3BHE013299R0002’s rugged design minimizes maintenance: its vibration-resistant components and wide temperature range reduce wear and tear, resulting in a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 150,000 hours—far longer than standard industrial power supplies. For engineers, this means fewer unplanned turbine shutdowns and more time focused on optimizing performance rather than troubleshooting power issues.

Application fields:

The ABB 3BHE013299R0002 is purpose-built for industries where turbine reliability is mission-critical, excelling in three key sectors. In power generation, it supplies power to ABB’s steam and gas turbine control systems in coal-fired, natural gas, and combined-cycle power plants—ensuring that turbines maintain stable output even during grid voltage fluctuations. In oil and gas refining, it powers ABB’s turbine control modules for process turbines (e.g., those driving compressors or pumps), withstanding the high vibration and temperature swings of refinery environments to prevent costly process interruptions. It’s also critical in hydroelectric power plants, where it delivers reliable power to ABB’s hydro turbine control systems—operating seamlessly in damp, high-humidity conditions that would degrade non-specialized power units. In each use case, the ABB 3BHE013299R0002 meets the demands of 24/7 turbine operation: its EMI shielding blocks noise from turbine generators, while its overcurrent protection prevents damage to control components during electrical surges—ensuring that turbines remain safe, efficient, and compliant with industry standards.

Installation and maintenance:

Before installing the ABB 3BHE013299R0002, first verify compatibility with your ABB turbine control system: it is designed for use with ABB AC 800M TCS v6.0 or later, so older TCS versions may require a firmware update to support the unit’s diagnostic features. Next, calculate the total load of connected turbine control components (e.g., speed sensors, ESD modules) to ensure it does not exceed the 80W max output—overloading can trigger the unit’s protective shutdown, which may cause an unexpected turbine trip. During setup, use a calibrated multimeter to confirm the input voltage matches your facility’s power (110V or 230V AC) and ensure the unit is mounted securely to the TCS backplane—loose mounting can increase vibration stress on components. For maintenance, conduct monthly checks of the unit’s LED status indicators: a steady green light confirms normal operation, while a red light signals a fault (e.g., overheating or overcurrent) that requires immediate attention. Every six months, inspect the unit’s connectors for corrosion (common in hydroelectric plants) and clean them with a dry, lint-free cloth—corroded connectors can cause voltage drops that disrupt turbine control. Annual functional testing, using a variable load bank to simulate peak turbine control demand, ensures the unit maintains its tight voltage tolerance over time.
