Description
The ABB XVC768AE101 3BHB007211R0101 is a Current Measurement Scaling Board used in ABB medium-voltage drive equipment. Multiple technical parts lists identify this exact part number as the XVC768AE101 current measurement/scaling board.
The board belongs to the ABB drive electronics used with ACS1000 / ACS6000 equipment. Its primary role is to condition and scale current-measurement signals so that the drive control electronics can accurately monitor operating current. It works as part of the drive’s measurement and protection chain rather than as a general-purpose PLC I/O card.
For replacement purposes, the complete identification 3BHB007211R0101 / XVC768AE101 should be matched. Some online listings incorrectly describe the board as a generic controller or voltage-measurement device, while ABB-oriented spare-parts references identify it specifically as a current measurement scaling board.

Installation & Use
- Verify identification — Confirm both XVC768AE101 and 3BHB007211R0101 before installation.
- Isolate the drive — Fully de-energize the medium-voltage drive and follow the plant’s approved electrical safety and discharge procedure.
- Inspect the measurement circuit — Check connectors, signal wiring, current-measurement components, grounding, and PCB condition before fitting the replacement.
- Install the board — Mount the PCB in the correct drive assembly and ensure all connectors are firmly seated.
- Check signal scaling — Verify that the current feedback values correspond to the configured drive parameters and the associated current-measurement hardware.
- Power-up diagnostics — After controlled energization, check drive alarms, measurement feedback, and diagnostic information.
- Functional test — Confirm current readings at zero/standby conditions and during controlled motor operation before returning the drive to normal service.
⚠️ Replacement note: XVC768AE101 is a current measurement scaling board, not a generic PLC controller. Do not substitute the related XVC767 voltage-measurement board simply because the boards have similar construction. The two boards perform different measurement functions.
