1.1 GENERAL
Thyro-P is a communication enabled SCR thyristor power controller. Below, it is also referred to
simply as power controller. The Thyro-P power controller can be installed everywhere where volta-
ges, currents or power have to be controlled precisely in 1- or 3-phase networks. Several modes of
operation and control, good coupling ability to process and automation technology, high control
precision by application of a 32 bit processor and simple handling ensure that Thyro-P is also suita-
ble for new applications.
Thyro-P offers new ways for mains load optimization:
• In operating mode TAKT, the optional digital mains load optimization of dASM ensures that mul-
tiple power controller applications can be used in an optimal way for the network so that system
perturbations are mainly avoided.
• For applications which have to use phase angle firing due to required high dynamic, Thyro-P...VSC
offers to minimize significantly harmonics by its VSC technology.
Thyro-P is suitable in particular for
• direct supply of ohmic loads
• for loads with large R

ratio
• as primary power controller for a transformer with subsequent load
Due to use of high quality thyristors, the Thyristor Power Controller Thyro-P has a type range
up to 2900A, the nominal design loads reach up to about 2860kW.
