Power Control Features
The ABB DTPC721B 3EST126-236 uses three thyristor stacks for three-phase control. You can select either phase-angle or burst firing modes. Therefore, this unit suits both resistive and inductive loads perfectly. The rated current reaches 50 A per phase continuously. Thus, the unit controls heaters, transformers, and motors up to 34 kW.
Control Interface
This power control unit accepts 0 to 10V DC or 4 to 20 mA control signals. Consequently, you can connect any standard PLC analog output directly. The firing circuit board converts these signals into precise thyristor gate pulses. Hence, the ABB DTPC721B provides smooth and proportional output power. The control response time stays under 20 milliseconds for phase-angle mode.
Energy Storage and Ride-Through
Six 1000µF capacitors provide a total capacitance of 6000µF. This large storage bank delivers 50 milliseconds of ride-through time. Consequently, the ABB DTPC721B 3EST126-236 continues operating through brief input dips. The auxiliary supply requires 24V DC at 200 mA for the firing circuit. Therefore, you need a separate DC supply for the control electronics.
Installation and Cooling
You can mount the ABB DTPC721B 3EST126-236 on a flat metal panel. The unit requires 10 cm of free space above and below for airflow. Use M6 screws through its four mounting feet for secure attachment. For thermal management, the unit uses a forced air fan or natural convection. The ABB DTPC721B works seamlessly with the RMS-TSG-TZ-C static trip unit.
Environmental Durability
This power control unit operates reliably from 0°C to +50°C. It also withstands 90% relative humidity without condensation. The unit survives vibration up to 1g from 10 to 150 Hz. Therefore, the ABB DTPC721B 3EST126-236 suits most industrial control panels perfectly.
