LONG TERM VOLTAGE DEVIATION THE PROBLEM

Developing countries' utility networks often do not have enough reserve for peak power demand. This leads to power quality events during peak hours as

expectancy of equipment. It can also cause reliance on costly back-up systems, such as diesel generators.

the demand exceed the capability of what the utility network can supply. Remote areas or areas at the end

of distribution line often have a weak utility network and voltage fluctuations are common.

Commercial and industrial buildings in these environments must consider the impact of a weak utility network on their operations.

Unlike a voltage sag, which is a temporary voltage drop normally lasting from 2 to 10 cycles, undervoltage is much longer, lasting minutes or hours.

A fluctuating voltage supply affects productivity and the consistency of operations, leading to a reduction in the quality of products and services. It causes motors in equipment and machinery to function inefficiently and can result in poor use of resource, in terms of staff, materials and energy consumption. Fluctuating voltage can also lead to increased wear on machinery components, resulting in a greater number of malfunctions and a reduced life

···
Furthermore, brownouts, overvoltage and an unbalanced voltage supply can cause reliance on costly back-up systems, such as diesel generators. Unstable voltage prevents the users from streamlining their operations and optimizing their resources to reduce wasted capacity.

PCS100 AVC-20 Operation Details
The following diagrams demonstrate the PCS100 AVC-20 in operation when a utility disturbance occurs, and what happens if the internal bypass operates.

Utility Voltage Deviates from Nominal When the utility voltage deviates from nominal or set point due to undervoltage, overvoltage, or unbalance the inverter will inject a regulation voltage via the injection transformer. The regulation voltage level is based on the disturbance level and the energy required for regulation is derived from the utility via the PCS100 AVC-20 rectifier. The diagrams on the right show cases with utility voltage below and above the nominal level.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Input Circuit Protection
The PCS100 AVC-20 relies upon upstream protection for current overload and short circuit protection. Upstream protection should be provided by a circuit breaker. Overload protection must not be set greater than the PCS100 AVC-20 rated load current. Short circuit and arc fault calculations should include allowance for the additional PCS100 AVC-20 impedance (typically < 2.5%). Circuit breakers should be set to trip without any delay on short circuit or arc fault currents. Coarse ground fault detection is recommended for high current systems where it may be difficult to assure ground or arc fault currents of sufficient magnitude to instantaneously trip the breaker.

The PCS100 AVC-20 unit is designed to withstand significant short circuit current without damage. Typical short circuit withstand ratings are summarized in the model tables and also in the table below. The smaller systems highlighted in darker gray in the table rely on fault current limiting protection from upstream circuit breakers or fuses provided by the customer. For 1B frame size current limiting molded case circuit breakers (MCCB), or fuses are required to provide very fast clearing of short circuit currents. ABB T6 series or equivalent are suitable.

* Where the short circuit capability of the network exceeds the AVC rated short circuit an upstream breaker must be used to limit the

fault current.

The PCS100 AVC-20 is rated to carry short duration fault currents to 2000% for 200 ms, and the upstream protection for small systems must be sized within this capability. If required, the ABB factory can provide assistance with sizing appropriate protection. The PCS100 AVC-20 can sustain the fault currents listed above without damage and can be returned immediately to service following the fault. Where higher fault currents occur, service may be required following a downstream fault.
Arc Fault and Protection Recommendation
Arc faults may happen due to unexpected occurrences and are often triggered by a service person with consequently high risk of harm from the arc. Arcs can cause lethal injury from burns, pressure and flying debris. Generally, the risk is in proportion to the energy of the fault current and time of exposure. ABB highly recommends MCCB or ACB for arc protection.
Due to the high levels of released energy and excessive heat it is highly recommended that personal protective equipment is used when working around live equipment.

Maintenance Bypass
ABB recommends that a maintenance bypass (not supplied with the PCS100 AVC-20) is fitted. The maintenance bypass allows maintenance to be performed on the PCS100 AVC-20 without disruption to the load. ABB requires the input and output breakers of a maintenance bypass to be lockable for an ABB service personnel to carry out any work on the PCS100 AVC20. Please note that ABB LV breakers do not provide this as standard but as an option.
Floor Requirements
All enclosures must be installed on a horizontal fireproof surface. Do not exceed ± 0.2° change in slope between adjacent enclosures. Do not exceed ± 5 mm in elevation between adjacent enclosures.
Location
The PCS100 AVC-20 is designed for location in a restricted access location only. The PCS100 AVC-20 is designed for connection by fixed wiring.

PCS100 AVC-20 Technical Catalogue

The PCS100 AVC-20 system should be located in a clean electrical room with a controlled environment temperature and humidity according to the requirements under the Technical Specification section.
Power System
The PCS100 AVC-20 is designed for TN-S power system where the upstream transformer provides neutral the load may require. Consult the factory for use in other earthing system.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The PCS100 AVC-20 is designed for commercial and industrial applications. It is not suitable for connection to a low-voltage utility that is supplying residences unless additional measures are taken.
Harmonics
The PCS100 AVC-20 is designed to tolerate disturbances such as voltage and current harmonics

in the load or supply. Excessive distortion can lead to the stressing of components leading to reduction in the lifetime of the rectifier and inverter modules. ABB recommends the harmonic contents on the input and the output of the system to meet IEC 61000-2-4 Class 2, THDV up to 8%. Contact the factory for THDV > 8% as the lifetime of components may be affected.
Downstream Capacitor Banks
A care must be taken when installing the PCS100 AVC20 with a capacitor bank downstream of the system. ABB recommends the capacitor bank to be installed upstream of the PCS100 AVC-20. Contact ABB for more information.
Cooling
For PCS100 AVC-20 particular application losses for cooling system sizing please see the PCS100 AVC-20 sizing tool.
