ABB XVC770BE102 (3BHE021083R0102) – Excitation Control Board for UNITROL Systems

• Warranty: 365 days

• Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than 1 month at the latest

• Payment: 50% advance payment; full balance before delivery

• Express shipping: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• Pre‑shipment testing and visual inspection available upon request

• UNITROL compatibility – Designed for ABB UNITROL excitation cabinets, supporting generator/motor voltage regulation tasks.

• Stable 24 VDC operation – Uses a typical 24 VDC control supply common in substation and plant cabinets.

• Mixed process I/O – Handles excitation‑related analog measurements and digital status/control signals for field equipment.

• Backplane integration – Communicates over the UNITROL rack backplane for fast, reliable internal data exchange.

• Status/diagnostics indicators – Front‑accessible LEDs typically help with quick checks during commissioning or troubleshooting.

• Service‑friendly form factor – Plug‑in card design reduces downtime; swap and re‑test during short maintenance windows.

This board is commonly used in:

• Power generation (hydro, thermal, gas) – excitation and AVR systems for synchronous generators

• Industrial drives – large synchronous motors in steel, mining, cement, and pulp & paper

• Utility substations – retrofit and life‑extension projects for legacy excitation cabinets

One thing I appreciate is how it behaves during hot standby or fast switchover scenarios—response stays consistent, which reduces the risk of voltage dips on the bus. A maintenance supervisor told us they swapped this card during a planned outage and were back in service in under two hours, including checks.

• Reliability – Built for continuous operation in harsh electrical environments; stable performance under load changes.

• Compatibility – Drop‑in replacement within the UNITROL cabinet, minimizing wiring changes and engineering effort.

• Downtime reduction – Plug‑in servicing, front‑accessible indicators, and straightforward commissioning save hours during outages.

• Supportable lifecycle – Fits common spare strategies and is supported alongside other ABB UNITROL modules.

• Total cost control – In many cases, a board‑level replacement avoids full cabinet overhaul and protects prior investments.

• Cabinet environment – Install in a clean, dry, ventilated control cabinet. Maintain ambient 0–55 °C with adequate airflow.

• Power & grounding – Provide a stable 24 VDC supply. Use proper protective earth and maintain cabinet grounding integrity.

• Wiring – Route analog signals away from high‑current cables; use shielded pairs for measurement inputs when applicable.

• ESD handling – Treat as an ESD‑sensitive assembly; use wrist strap and antistatic packaging.

• Commissioning – Verify I/O assignment and parameters with the manufacturer‑recommended UNITROL tools; perform functional tests before energizing the field.

• Routine maintenance – Visual inspection each outage, connector reseat/cleaning, and periodic firmware/config review aligned with site change control.

• Manufacturer quality: ABB industrial standards for excitation systems

• Certifications: CE and RoHS compliant; UL/CSA applicability may depend on cabinet configuration

• Warranty: 12 months (365 days) from delivery

Supporting components we often supply alongside this model include UNITROL controller rack modules, power supply cards, and fiber‑coupled firing units where required. If you share your cabinet tag and current module lineup, we can typically confirm plug‑compatibility and advise on a safe swap plan.
