About ABB RVC10-1/5A 2GCA294986A0050 HMI

ABB RVC10-1/5A 2GCA294986A0050 HMI

RVC has become synonymous with automatic capacitor its distinct design, ease of use, reliability and versatile functions.

ABB Power Factor controller RVC product features

Powerful features

Common range for a broad network voltages from 100V to 440V.

Measurement and display of key parameters like voltage, current, power factor, THDV and THDI.

Fully programmable switching sequence.

1A or 5A current input.

Easy commissioning.

Complete auto set-up (starting current-C/k, type of switching sequence, phase shift, special connections).

Easy to use thanks to a user-friendly interface and ease of access to parameters for manual setting.

Highly efficient switching strategy combining integral, direct and circular switching thereby allowing:

to control the cos j in presence of rapidly varying loads,

to reduce the number of switching,

to avoid unnecessary intermediary switchings,

to increase the lifetime of the capacitors and contactors.

Suitable for hot environments due to maximum ambient temperature rating of 70C.

Not affected by harmonics.

Overvoltage / undervoltage protection and protections against harmonic distortion (THDV).

Alarm : an alarm contact is opened when any of these conditions are reached:

the target cos j is not reached within 6 minutes after all outputs have been switched on,

the internal temperature of the RVC rises above 85C,

overvoltage / undervoltage limits are reached,

the power supply is out of range,

the THDV exceeds the limits.
