ABB Power Conversion has launched a new liquid-cooled, three-phase, 75-volt (V) CC7500 rectifier. It provides a consistent, dependable power needed for precision manufacturing processes and has been designed for heavy pulse-load applications such as industrial lasers.
The CC7500 features a low-line 200/208/240VAC input that enables its use in regions where low-line utility power is available, like Japan, with a wide-range 75VDC nominal output (65-80V), and redundant +5VDC standby power. The fully sealed power supply is IP65-rated to protect against harsh elements that may be present in a manufacturing environment. It is available in liquid-cooled configurations with dripless connectors or conduction-cooled versions with integrated heat sinks, providing flexible, efficient cooling options for applications.
The CC7500 industrial rectifier features a wide operating temperature range of 2 to 50C and redundant, parallel operation with active load sharing. It has a standard ModBus/RS485 communications interface, enabling it to communicate with industry-standard programmable logic controllers which are commonly used to control manufacturing processes.
Laser manufacturers and those designing industrial equipment such as industrial microwave processes, ultraviolet curing and coating, and radio-frequency heating, for example, require power solutions that can keep pace with innovation and growing demands opined Gopal Mitra, industrial segment leader at ABB Power Conversion. According to him, the CC7500 is purpose-built to support heavy-duty cycling and robust, fast transient response load handling.
Certain key features of the CC7500 industrial rectifier include field-upgradable design with remote firmware downloads; output overvoltage and overload protection; AC input overvoltage and undervoltage protection and over-temperature warning and protection. Additionally, it has flexible, liquid-cooled packaging that helps to mitigate waste for meaningful OpEx savings.
The dimensions of the rectifier – 8.6 inches wide by 2.0 inches high by 19.5 inches deep – make it ideal for horizontal and vertical orientation for minimum width and maximum stacking density.
