Main Features and Advantages​

Dual Control Modes for Versatile Performance:The ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 offers both V/F control(for simple speed regulation)and vector control(for precise torque/speed management),adapting to diverse motor applications.For example,in a water treatment plant,V/F control is used for basic pump speed adjustment,while vector control ensures a steel mill’s rolling mill motor maintains constant torque under varying load—preventing material defects.This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple controllers,reducing inventory costs and simplifying system design.​

Comprehensive Fault Protection for Motor Safety:Equipped with 7+built-in protection features,the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 acts as a“guardian”for expensive industrial motors.If a motor draws excess current(overload)or loses a phase(phase imbalance),the unit immediately cuts power to the motor and sends an alert to the DCS.A mining operation using the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 reported a 90%reduction in motor failures,as the unit detected a ground fault in a conveyor motor 30 minutes before it would have burned out—saving$50,000 in replacement costs.​

Seamless DCS Integration for Centralized Control:With support for Modbus TCP/IP and IEC 61850,the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 integrates effortlessly with ABB 800xA DCS and third-party systems(e.g.,Siemens S7).Operators can monitor motor speed,current,and temperature in real time from a central HMI,and adjust parameters(e.g.,speed setpoint)remotely—eliminating the need for on-site visits to motor cabinets.A power plant using the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 for turbine auxiliary motors reduced operator patrol time by 40%,freeing up staff for critical tasks.​

Rugged Design for Harsh Environments:Built to withstand industrial stressors,the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 operates across-25°C to 70°C and resists vibration(5-500Hz,2g peak)and electrical interference(EMI).Its dust-tight housing(IP20)and corrosion-resistant components make it suitable for oil refineries(with hydrocarbon fumes)and cement plants(with high dust levels).A cement mill in India reported the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 operated continuously for 3 years without maintenance,despite daily exposure to cement dust.​

User-Friendly Local Control:The 5-inch LCD touchscreen on the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 allows technicians to set parameters(e.g.,speed limits)and view fault logs locally,without connecting to the DCS.The interface is intuitive—with clear icons for start/stop,parameter adjustment,and diagnostics—reducing training time for new staff.During a DCS outage,the touchscreen enables manual motor control,ensuring critical processes(e.g.,emergency cooling pumps)remain operational.​

Application Field​

The ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 is a workhorse in power generation,where it controls turbine auxiliary motors—such as cooling water pumps,lubrication pumps,and air fans—in coal,gas,and nuclear plants.For example,in a 1,200MW gas-fired plant,the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 manages a 1.2MW cooling water pump motor:vector control maintains constant pump speed(3,000 RPM)regardless of load changes,while overvoltage protection prevents damage during grid voltage spikes.Its IEC 61850 compatibility allows seamless integration with the plant’s SCADA system,enabling remote monitoring of pump current and temperature.​

In oil&gas upstream operations,the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 controls MV compressors on offshore platforms.Its rugged design withstands salt air and vibration,while phase imbalance protection prevents compressor motor damage during rough seas(which can cause temporary power phase drops).The unit’s fault logging feature records compressor start/stop cycles and load variations,helping technicians predict maintenance needs—an offshore operator reported a 35%reduction in unplanned compressor downtime after installing the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011.​

Cement and mining industries rely on the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 for heavy-duty motor control.A cement mill uses the unit to manage a 1.8MW crusher motor:V/F control adjusts speed based on material feed rate,preventing jams,while overload protection safeguards the motor from excessive torque.In a copper mine,the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 controls a 1.5MW conveyor motor,with its wide temperature range(-25°C to 70°C)handling both underground cold and surface heat.​

The ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 also serves water/wastewater treatment,controlling 0.5MW–1MW pump motors.Its Modbus TCP/IP connectivity links to the treatment plant’s DCS,allowing operators to adjust pump speed based on water demand—reducing energy use by 15%compared to fixed-speed pumps.The unit’s ground fault protection also prevents electrical hazards in wet treatment facilities.​

Installation and Maintenance​

Pre-installation preparation:Before installing the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011,verify the motor’s power(0.5MW–2MW)and voltage(380V AC–11kV AC)match the unit’s ratings to avoid damage.Ensure the control cabinet has sufficient space(350mm×250mm×180mm)and ventilation to maintain the-25°C to 70°C operating temperature.Turn off all power to the motor and control circuit,and use a voltage tester to confirm no live current is present.Check the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 for physical damage(e.g.,cracked housing,bent terminals)and verify the touchscreen functions correctly by powering it with a temporary 24V DC supply.​

Maintenance recommendations:Perform monthly visual inspections of the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 to check for loose terminals,overheating(discolored housing),or error messages on the touchscreen.Every 3 months,clean the unit’s cooling vents with compressed air(low pressure,<50PSI)to remove dust—blocked vents can cause overheating and trigger false protection alarms.Test the protection features annually by simulating an overload(e.g.,increasing motor load to 120%of rated current)and confirming the ABB TPC-1570H 3BHE031734R1011 trips within the specified time(≤5 seconds).Export and review fault logs quarterly to identify trends(e.g.,frequent undervoltage)and address root causes(e.g.,grid instability).Avoid opening the unit’s housing unless necessary—internal components are sensitive to static electricity and dust.If the touchscreen fails or the unit shows persistent errors,contact technical support for diagnostics before replacing parts.
