Introduction

The AZ100 Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile system designed primarily for the OEM boiler and burner controls market.

The system is a low-temperature type designed to work in process temperatures up to 800 °C (1472 °F) and with a maximum sensor mounting flange temperature of 400 °C(752 °F).

The analyzer provides oxygen computation, with readout and retransmission, based on the probe mV output signal. The output signal (E mV) is Nernstian in form and follows the equation:

E (mv) = 0.0496T(log10 P0 / P1) ± CmV

Where:  T = Absolute temperature

P0 = Reference O2 partial pressure

P1 = Sample O2 partial pressure

C = Cell constant (mV zero offset)

0.0496 = Faraday’s gas constant

Probe design

The probe uses the proven and innovative ABB electrode and cell design technology which has been so reliable in other ABB zirconia probe designs.

The flexible probe design gives a range of intake tube lengths to suit all applications and an optional filter/flame arrester making it safe for use where groups IIB and IIC gases may occur in the process being measured.

The probe has options of male thread NPT or BSPT mountings. As with all previous ABB designs of low temperature probes, the AZ100 probe is site-serviceable.

Continuous supervision of complete trip circuit independent of circuit breaker position

The supervision relay type TCS is intended for a continuous supervision of circuit breaker trip circuit and gives an alarm for loss of auxiliary supply, faults on the trip coil or its wires independent of the breaker position, faults on the breaker auxiliary contacts and faults in the supervision relay.

The IRB 1200 is one of the latest generation of 6-axis industrial robots from ABB Robotics with a payload of 5 to 7kg.

It is designed for manufacturing industries that use robot-based flexible automation, such as the 3C industry.

The robot’s open architecture makes it particularly suitable for flexible use and allows extensive communication with external systems.

IRB 1200 Type A

Type A – Axis Calibration

The difference between the IRB 1200 and the IRB 1200 Type A is that the Type A uses axis calibration. Each axis has a bushing on which the calibration tool is mounted.

Therefore, the castings of the IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 A models are different.

How do I know the type of robot?

The type label on the robot base indicates whether the robot is axis calibrated or not.

These robots are named IRB 1200 A models.

Robots that are not axis calibrated are simply named IRB 1200 (no type indicated).

IRB 1200 Type B

Type B – SafeMove 2

The IRB 1200 Type B differs from the other IRB 1200 versions in that

Type B supports SafeMove 2.

Operating mechanism type EL

The low speed of the contacts, the short running time and the low mass limit the energy required for operation and thus ensure extremely limited wear of the system. Circuit breakers

therefore require only limited maintenance.

VD4 circuit breakers have a mechanical operating mechanism with energy storage and free tripping. These features make opening and closing operations independent of the operator.

The operating mechanism is very simple to conceive and use, can be customised with various accessories and is quick and easy to install. This simplicity makes the equipment more reliable.

Structure

The operating mechanism and the magnetic poles are fixed to a metal frame which also serves as a support for the fixed circuit breakers.

The compact construction ensures robustness and mechanical reliability.

The tractable circuit breakers are also equipped with a bracket trolley for putting them into or taking them out of the switchgear or enclosure with the door closed.

ABB Arc Extinguishing Principle for Arc Extinguishing Chambers

In a vacuum arc extinguishing chamber, the arc starts at the moment of contact separation and is maintained until zero current is applied and may be affected by magnetic fields.

Vacuum Arc – Diffuse or contracted after contact separation, a single melting point is formed over the entire surface of the cathode, generating the metal vapour that supports the arc.

A diffuse vacuum arc is characterised by expansion of the contact surfaces and uniform distribution of thermal stresses across the contact surfaces.

At the rated current of the vacuum interrupter, the arc is always diffuse. Contact erosion is very limited and the number of current interruptions is very high.

As the value of the interrupting current increases (above the rated value), the arc changes from a diffuse to a contracting type due to the Hall effect.

Starting at the anode, the arc contracts and gradually becomes defined with further increases in current.

In the vicinity of the area in question, the temperature rises, which causes thermal stress on the contacts.

To prevent overheating and erosion of the contacts, the arc needs to remain rotating. As the arc rotates, it becomes similar to a moving conductor through which current passes.

Spiral geometry of ABB vacuum interrupter contacts

The special geometry of the helical contact generates a radial magnetic field in all areas of the arc column and concentrates it around the circumference of the contact.

Spontaneously generated electromagnetic forces acting in a tangential direction cause the arc to rotate rapidly around the contact axis.

This means that the arc is forced to rotate and involves a wider surface than a fixed contracting arc.

All this makes contact erosion negligible, except for minimising thermal stresses on the contacts.

Most importantly, the arc extinguishing process can be controlled even in the case of extremely high short circuits.

ABB vacuum interrupters are zero-current interrupters, which do not produce any re-strikes.

At zero current, the current charge is rapidly reduced and the metal vapour condenses, thus restoring the maximum dielectric strength between the interrupter contacts in microseconds.

VD4 circuit breakers have passed the following tests to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment when used in any installation environment.

– Type tests: heating, industrial frequency withstand voltage insulation, lightning impulse withstand voltage insulation, short-time and peak withstand voltage current,

Mechanical life, short-circuit current generation and breaking capacity, no-load cable disconnection.

– Individual tests: main circuit insulation at working frequency voltage, insulation of auxiliary circuits and operating mechanisms, main circuit resistance measurement, mechanical and electrical operation.

Brief Introduction

The SPAM150C Motor Protection Relay is a general purpose combination relay designed primarily for the protection of AC motors for a variety of applications.

It combines a large number of protection functions in one unit. The relay provides a complete set of protection against motor damage caused by various electrical faults.

The relay is also suitable for other equipment requiring thermal overload protection, such as cable or power transformer feeders.

Summary of Protection Functions

The relay thermal overload unit protects the motor against short- and long-term overloads. The maximum permissible continuous load depends on the setting value 1.

Normally this setting value is taken as the rated full load current (FLC) of the motor at an ambient temperature of 40°C. The motor can be overloaded for a short period of time if the motor is not loaded.

When the motor current increases to 1.05I under the above conditions, the thermal overload unit starts after a certain delay.

If the ambient temperature of the motor is below 40°C for a long period of time, the setting value I. can be set to .05…1.10 times the full load current (FLC) of the motor. 1.10 times.

The short-time overload phenomenon mainly occurs during the starting process of the motor. The motor is normally allowed to start twice under cold conditions and once under hot conditions.

One start is permitted under hot conditions, therefore, depending on the starting time of the motor, an integrating value t determining the characteristics of the thermal overload unit can be derived.

This value can be easily determined from the time/current graph in the hot state. t curve is selected from the starting current versus the corresponding starting time (with an appropriate margin).

The t-curve is selected from the starting current versus the corresponding starting time (with an appropriate margin). Using the same value of t, the total permissible starting time of the motor under cold conditions can be found from the cold curve.
