⚡ Functional Description
The PPD115A102 operates as part of the control architecture rather than as a standalone motor drive. In excitation applications, the control system regulates the excitation power unit according to measured operating conditions and control commands. This makes the module relevant to synchronous generator and motor excitation systems as well as other ABB power-electronics installations.
🏭 Typical Applications
• Generator excitation systems
• Synchronous motor excitation
• Power-generation equipment
• ABB FOCS excitation control systems
• PEC800 power-electronics control systems
• Industrial drive and power-control installations
🛠️ Installation & Replacement Notes
Before replacement, confirm the complete ABB part number, hardware revision, system configuration and connector arrangement. Disconnect system power before removing the existing unit and document the original wiring and module position.
For an existing installation, it is recommended to compare the replacement unit with the installed PPD115 module before commissioning. After installation, check power supply status, communication/control connections and system diagnostics according to the equipment manufacturer’s commissioning procedure.

🔍 Identification
For procurement and maintenance, use both identification numbers when searching:
ABB 3BHE017628R0102
PPD115A102
The full part number should be matched rather than relying only on the PPD115 family designation.
📦 Suitable for Maintenance Stock
This module can be useful as a spare for existing ABB excitation and power-electronics control installations where the original control hardware remains in service. Always verify the installed system and revision before ordering.
