Film Capacitors – Power Factor Correction
Thyristor module
B44066T3050E690
TSM-LC-N690
Description:
The TSM-LC-N690 is a fast, electronically controlled, self-monitoring thyristor switch for capacitive
loads, capable to connect power capacitors within a few milliseconds as often and long as requested
to the grid without any wear off. It can be used in grids with voltages from 380 to 690 V~ (L-L). The
triggering can be performed via dynamic power factor controllers, PLC-control or directly out of the
technological process.
Characteristics
Component for the design of dynamic compensation systems in grids of 380 V … 690 V, 50/60 Hz
Larger operating voltage range up to 690 V~
No neutral-line required!
Optimized switching behavior by microprocessor controlled adjustment to tuned or de-tuned
capacitor branches
Applicable up to 60 A nominal current
Monitoring of voltage, phase and temperature; status via LED
Switching without delay
No system pertubation by switching operations (transients)
Maintenance free
Long service life
No switching noise
Ready to use compact module
Enhanced connection technology (plug)
Enhanced temperature management
Applications
Dynamic compensation of fast processes
Presses
Welding equipment
Elevators
Cranes
Wind turbine applications etc.
Mounting and connection of the module
The mechanical assembly is done directly on a mounting plate. The main circuits are executed as
high current plugs (included) and can be directly connected to the main fuse or the capacitors with
cables (max. 35 mm2). Mounting position vertical; minimum 150 mm distance upwards and
downwards.
The connection is done according to picture 1. Super fast electronic fuses are mandatory as main
fuses ahead the switching module as protection of semiconductor components! Basics of
dimensioning have to be obeyed!
Triggering of the module takes place without delay via a 10 – 24 V DC signal (coming from the PF
controller or an appropriate control device) which is fed in at the connection X1 (signal). If an increase
of the step output is required, cascading of several modules is possible.
