Description
Product Overview
The ABB PCD235A101, part number 3BHE032025R0101, is an exciter control module associated with ABB UNITROL excitation and AC 800PEC control systems. It is used in generator excitation applications, where control electronics process system signals and support regulation of generator excitation to maintain stable terminal voltage during changing operating conditions.
The module is intended for compatible ABB excitation system configurations. Depending on the system design, its interfaces may support signal acquisition, control outputs, and communication with other control components. Verify the exact hardware revision, firmware requirements, connector arrangement, and system compatibility before installation. Do not assume that modules with similar PCD235 designations are interchangeable.
