Description

ABB SUE3000 1VCF750090R804

Product introduction

The SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 is a high-performance control unit from ABB, designed to manage and protect medium-voltage switchgear in industrial and utility applications. As a key component of ABB’s SUE series, it integrates control, monitoring, and protection functions into a single, compact device.

This unit serves as the “brain” of medium-voltage switchgear, enabling remote operation of circuit breakers, executing interlocking logic to prevent unsafe operations, and providing real-time status updates via digital communication. In a 12 kV distribution network, the SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 ensures reliable switching operations while collecting critical data such as load current and breaker status, making it indispensable for modern power management systems. Its compatibility with digital substation standards ensures seamless integration into both legacy and smart grid architectures.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Integrated control and protection: The SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 combines breaker control with built-in interlocking logic, eliminating the need for separate relay panels. In a manufacturing plant’s 12 kV distribution system, this integration reduced panel space by 40% while improving response time to fault conditions by 300 ms.

Advanced communication capabilities: Supporting IEC 61850, the unit enables digital substation integration with GOOSE messaging for fast inter-device communication. A utility company upgraded its 33 kV substations using the SUE3000 1VCF750090R804, reducing wiring costs by 60% and enabling remote monitoring via SCADA systems.

Robust design for harsh environments: With an operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMC Class B), the unit thrives in industrial settings. A mining operation reported zero failures over 5 years of operation in dusty, vibration-prone switchgear rooms.

Flexible configuration: Programmable logic via ABB’s Control Builder software allows customization of interlocking sequences. A data center tailored the SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 to its redundant power system, creating custom interlocks between main and backup feeders to prevent parallel operation.

Typical application scenarios

Industrial power distribution: In a steel mill, the SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 controls 12 kV switchgear feeding arc furnaces. It monitors current levels, triggers alarms during overloads, and executes emergency shutdowns via interlocks with furnace control systems. This prevented 3 unplanned outages in its first year of operation.

Renewable energy plants: Wind farms use the unit to manage medium-voltage collection systems. The SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 coordinates breaker operations between wind turbine transformers and the main substation, using IEC 61850 to synchronize with grid codes during voltage fluctuations. A 200 MW wind farm reduced grid connection issues by 75% after installation.

Commercial building infrastructure: In a skyscraper’s 10 kV switchgear, the unit controls power distribution to elevators, HVAC, and critical loads. It implements load-shedding logic during peak demand, prioritizing essential services. A luxury hotel reported 15% energy savings by optimizing breaker operations via the SUE3000 1VCF750090R804.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Mount SUE3000 1VCF750090R804 in a clean, dry switchgear compartment with ambient temperature <55°C. Use M6 screws for panel mounting, ensuring 100 mm clearance for ventilation. Connect primary wiring via 10 mm² copper conductors; use shielded cables (0.5 mm²) for control circuits, grounding shields at both ends. Verify insulation resistance (>100 MΩ at 500 VDC) before energization.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect quarterly for loose terminals and dust accumulation—clean with compressed air. Annually test relay outputs for contact resistance (<100 mΩ) and verify input responsiveness using a signal generator. Replace battery backup (ABB part 3HAC031682-001) every 5 years to maintain clock and event logging during power loss. For communication issues, check IEC 61850 configuration and update firmware via ABB’s Service Tool software.
