2.2 Final Puls Stage

The module contains six identical 24 Volt final stages for controlling the corresponding disc-type
thyristors (1.5" up to 4" disc diameter).
The pulse inputs are intended to be used with the control unit CIN (UNS 0880) but can be
connected to any other pulse source which provides similar pulse chains.
The amplified and adapted to 24 Volt level pulses are passed to a circuit to increase their
steepness. The circuit comprises RC elements. The module transfers the output pulses to the
Faston 6,3 mm terminals

The device is available in two versions. The version 1 includes the pulse transformers which have
a maximum of 5kV isolation voltage. The module is equipped with demagnetizing cirquits adapted
to the pulse transformers.

The version 2 must be used for higher isolation voltages. In this version the pulse transformers are
not fitted and therefore, must be mounted externally. For this purpose, corresponding connectors
are provided.

2.3 Power Supply

The 24 V input voltage is buffered by a capacitor to minimise the feedback to the 24 V supply due
to the firing pulses

3 CONFIGURATION

3.1 Pulsinputs and Supply

The pulse as well as the supply are to be connected to the connector X113 through the flat cable.
This cable should be as short as possible.

3.2 Pulse outputs

The pulse outputs are normally wired to the thyristors directly by means of Faston connectors. In
version 2, an additional earthing contact is provided for the connection of a shielded cable.

3.3 Earthing
The earthing is available on one hand via the fixing bolts and on the other hand, a Faston
connector to earthing.

4 COMMISSIONING AND FUNCTION CONTROL

4.1 Connections
Check of all external connections
Check of flatcable according to the specification in chapter 6
Check of correct earthing

4.2 Function Check

A separate function check of the device is not necessary. A probable malfunction is detected by
the system.
