The PCMU MSOC is installed by using modern cutting tools

for fast and clean retrofit. The tool enables a precise quality cut

each and every time.

Bus protection via GOOSE

The IEC 61850 implementation in PCMU MSOC includes

fast peer-to-peer communication, over the substation bus.

Use GOOSE communication between PCMU MSOC relays of

the incoming and outgoing feeders of a substation to form a

stable, reliable, and high-speed busbar protection system. The

cost-effective GOOSE-based busbar protection is obtained by

configuring the relays and the operational availability of the pro

tection is assured by continuous supervision of the protection

devices and their GOOSE messaging over the station bus. No

separate hard-wiring is needed for the horizontal communica

tion between the switchgear cubicles.

Pre-emptive condition monitoring

For continuous knowledge of the operational availability of the

PCMU MSOC features, a comprehensive set of monitoring

functions to supervise the relay health, the trip circuit, and the

circuit breaker health is included. The breaker monitoring can

include checking the wear and tear of the circuit breaker, the

spring charging time of the breaker operating mechanism and

the gas pressure of the breaker chambers. The relay also mo

nitors the breaker travel time and the number of circuit breaker

operations to provide basic information for scheduling breaker

maintenance.

Standardized communication

As a standard feature, PCMU MSOC supports the IEC 61850

standard for communication between devices within the subs

tations along with the industry standards DNP 3.0 and Modbus

protocols. The implementation of the IEC 61850 substation

communication standard in PCMU MSOC encompasses both

vertical and horizontal communication, including GOOSE mes

saging and parameter setting according to IEC 61850-8-1. The

substation configuration language enables the use of enginee

ring tools for automated configuration, commissioning, and

maintenance of substation devices.

Protection and control

The PCMU MSOC is the most powerful, advanced and simplest

feeder protection relay in its class, offering time and instantane

ous overcurrent, negative sequence overcurrent, phase discon

tinuity, breaker failure, thermal overload, and voltage metering

and protection. The relay features optional high impedance fault

(HIZ) and sensitive earth fault (SEF) protection for grounded and

ungrounded distribution systems. The relay incorporates a flexi

ble three-phase multi-shot auto-reclose function for automatic

feeder restoration in temporary faults on overhead lines.

The PCMU MSOC integrates basic control functionality, which

facilitates the control of one circuit breaker via the relay’s front

panel human machine interface (HMI) or remote control system.

To protect the relay from unauthorized access and to maintain

the integrity of information, the relay has been provided with a

four-level, role-based user authentication system, with individual

passwords for the viewer, operator, engineer, and administrator

levels. The access control system applies to the front panel

HMI, embedded web browser based HMI, and the PCM600

relay setting and configuration tool.

The TU805K01 is a kit consisting of 10 pcs TU805. TU805 is a 16-

channel 50 V terminal unit for the S800 I/O modules DI801 and

DO801. The Terminal Unit is a passive unit for the distribution of

external process power.

Features and benefits

• Enables 2- and 3-wire connections of process signals.

• Direct mounting on the I/O module.

• Requires no extra space.

Spare parts health and functional check (on-site)

The spare parts critical to commercial operation (noble parts;

ex.: boards, power supply), will be installed directly on the

existing excitation system and the functionality of all parts will

be confirmed. This will require the excitation system and the

machine to be available for testing.

Spare parts health and functional check (at the factory)

Upon request, the health and functional check may be performed in

our factory. The spare parts must be carefully packed and shipped

to ABB. Once they arrive, they will be inspected and tested at our

supplier factory in order verify their correct functionality. We

recommend that spare part boards (PCB) containing electrolytic

capacitors should be tested every four years.

Parts Fingerprint

The Parts Fingerprint provides you with a complimentary

recommended spare parts list or, if a detailed list of the spare

parts is provided, a list of the recommended parts that are

missing can be prepared. This can be done, for example, as part

of a performance review. We will also keep you informed about

critical aging processes of vital components.

Product and part life cycle report (annual)

The Product Life Cycle annual report is a summary of the

excitation system parts availability and life cycle status. It will

also detail which new material can replace the obsolete ones and

if a mechanical adaptation is needed.

Control upgrade solution (preferential price)

ABB has designed a front-end control upgrade solution using the

latest excitation technology, the UNITROL 6000. for excitation

systems in the Limited or Obsolete phase. It is an efficient

solution that extends the life of the system and brings it to the

Active phase of the Product Life Cycle.

Performance review (preferential price)

The ABB performance review program is designed to ensure

the proper and safe operation of all your UNITROL excitation

products. We accomplish this by running tests on all critical

protection devices and system settings in various operating

conditions. We then prepare a report based on the findings, and

make recommendations on how to keep unplanned downtime at

a minimum.

Unlimited phone support

Technical phone support will be provided by the local support

center. During normal business hours (excluding holidays).

Technical support is also available for emergency cases, 24/7/365.

On-site troubleshooting dispatch prioritization

The ABB service hotline team will trigger an internal dispatch alert

and escalation process, immediately upon receiving customer’s

confirmation to dispatch a service engineer to site. The support

line will transfer all information and technical documentation

available for the service to the assigned service engineer.

Annual support usage report (available on demand)

ABB will provide an annual usage report on demand. This will

summarize all support activities provided during the Excitation

Care Program for a period of 12 months.

On-site critical spare parts assessment

The on-site critical spare parts assessment is designed to gather

all necessary information such as software and hardware version,

ABB reference number and quantity of the available spare parts

on-site directly from the customer site. It will then be compiled

in a detailed list by our specialist and provided to the customer

contact person.

Excitation Care provides peace of mind and reassurance to your maintenance team. 

They will know who to call in case of emergency, theterms and conditions

of sale will be defined in advance; therefore, your maintenance team will 

only focus on getting the best performance from your excitation systems.

Product Life Cycle notification (annual)

ABB will advise where the excitation systems are in the product

life cycle: Active, Classic, Limited or Obsolete. Customers will

receive recommendations depending on the status of the system.

It is a proactive approach to keep customers informed and to help

them plan excitation maintenance services efficiently.

Unlimited phone support
