This manual will define all the pre-programmed and field programmable features of the RK3000 control, as well as provide a description of the control components. A description of typical waveforms, and suggestions for optimizing the control’s operation, are also included.
Major System Components The following descriptions and pictures are presented to familiarize the user with the six components that make up the RK3000 High Frequency transformer-rectifier control: The photos shown are typical and may vary slightly from those shown. The following is a list and definition of the major control components.
RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply Operating Manual Control Unit The Control Unit is the interface between the analog and digital signals present in the control and feedback circuits. The IGBT firing circuit is located on this Unit. It responds to precipitator operating conditions based on the parameters programmed into the Keyboard and Display Unit.
RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply Operating Manual Control Communications Cable This cable is used between the Keypad and Display Unit, and the Control Unit to provide a communications link for passing data. Figure 3: Control Communications Cable Current Transformer The Current Transformer (CT) and load resistor combination, when properly set, provides a 5V signal, at rated current, to the Control Unit.
RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply Operating Manual Potential Transformer The Potential Transformer (PT) measures the transformer primary voltage and provides a reference signal to the Control Unit. The PT has a ratio of 600 volts to 20 volts. The signal is used for primary voltage display and limit.
RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply Operating Manual QUICK START CHART For One-to One System Configuration (See page 24) A one-to-one system configuration is defined as a system where there is one Keypad and Display Unit, and one Control Unit physically installed on each control cabinet.
RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply Operating Manual QUICK START CHART For One-to-Many System Configuration (See page 24) A one-to-many system configuration is defined as a system where there is one or more Keypad and Display Units communicating with one or more Control Units, regardless of location.
OPERATING PARAMETERS AND FEATURES The following is a list of the operating parameters and features incorporated in the RK3000 control. This list is followed by definitions (broken into programmable and non- programmable groups), and later in this manual, detailed instruction on how the parameters are programmed.
The types of transients that the control detects are: Spit – Low current, fast rise time electrical discharge that extinguishes itself instantaneously. Due to self-extinguishing characteristics, the RK3000 takes no control action when a spit is detected. Spark – Low current, relatively slow rise time electrical discharge that persists for one half cycle or less before extinguishing.
RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply Operating Manual External Alarm Message Text In conjunction with the external alarm inputs, there are preprogrammed tags (descriptions) that can be assigned to each input. . Max Set Size The same microprocessor control components are used regardless of the size of the TR they are connected to.
