Description
3BHE006805R0002 DDC779BE02: Product Overview
The ABB 3BHE006805R0002 DDC779BE02 is a redundant power supply module engineered for ABB’s AC 800M distributed control system (DCS). Designed for mission-critical applications, it delivers dual 24V DC outputs with active current sharing and N+1 redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery to safety instrumented systems (SIS), turbine controls, and process automation equipment.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as a power integrity backbone, this module ensures continuous operation of controllers (e.g., PM865/PM866) and I/O subsystems. By eliminating single points of failure, it safeguards against power fluctuations, grid outages, and transient faults in industries like refining, power generation, and chemical processing.
Core Functionality:
-
Dual Independent Power Conversion Channels:
-
Operates in active load-sharing mode to balance thermal stress across components, extending MTBF (>500,000 hours).
-
Seamless switchover (<1ms) during primary channel failure, preventing process interruptions.
-
-
Integrated Safety Features:
-
ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 Compliance: Suitable for hazardous gas environments (e.g., oil & gas, LNG facilities).
-
Overcurrent/Overtemperature Protection: Prevents damage from fault conditions.
-
-
Extreme Environment Readiness:
-
Operates at -25°C to +70°C and withstands -40°C cold starts.
-
Conformal-coated variants (suffix -CC) resist humidity and corrosive atmospheres.
-
Platform Benefits (AC 800M Series):
-
Hot-Swap Capability: Replace modules without system shutdown using the 3BSE018105R6002 baseplate .
-
Scalability: Supports integration with S800 I/O modules (e.g., CI854 PROFIBUS, TU847 thermocouple inputs).
- Diagnostic Depth: Real-time monitoring via Control Builder M software for predictive maintenance.

Core Features & Customer Value
1. Uninterrupted Power Delivery:
The dual-channel architecture ensures zero downtime during power transitions. For example, in a refinery’s FCCU (Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit), this module maintains power to safety shutdown systems even if one channel fails, preventing catastrophic equipment damage.
2. Predictive Maintenance:
Integrated diagnostics track capacitor aging and fan degradation, enabling proactive replacement before failure. This reduces unplanned downtime by 30% in critical processes like LNG production.
3. Hazardous Area Compliance:
ATEX/IECEx certification allows deployment in Zone 2 environments (e.g., offshore platforms), where explosive gas atmospheres require stringent electrical safety standards.
4. Simplified Hot-Swap:
The module’s pre-charge circuit ensures safe replacement without system interruption. In power plants, this minimizes turbine trip risks during maintenance.

Typical Applications
-
Nuclear Power Plants:
-
Powers safety-rated AC 800M controllers managing reactor coolant pumps. A fault in one power channel triggers automatic switchover to the redundant channel, ensuring reactor stability.
-
-
Offshore Oil Platforms:
-
Feeds subsea ESD (Emergency Shutdown) valves and gas turbine controls. Its salt-fog resistance and vibration immunity ensure reliability in harsh maritime conditions.
-
-
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing:
-
Maintains power to sterile filling line automation systems. SIL 2 compliance ensures compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for batch integrity.
-
-
LNG Terminals:
-
Supports cryogenic temperature monitoring chains (-162°C). Redundancy prevents data loss during extreme cold operations.
