DCS 500 / DCS 600 Service Manual
Target group
This manual is designed to help those responsible for planning, in-
stalling, starting up and servicing the thyristor power converter.
These people should possess
• basic knowledge of physics and electrical engineering, electrical
wiring principles, components and symbols used in electrical en-
gineering, and
• basic experience with DC drives and products.
Associated
publications
The
DCS 500B or DCS 600
documentation includes the following:
Technical Data DCS Thyristor Power Converter
Operating Instructions
System Description DCS 500B
System Description DCS 600 MultiDrive
CAUTION!
The thyristor power converter weighs quite a lot and
should therefore not be held by the front cover. Please put the unit
down only on its back (sizes C1 to C3). Always use due care when
handling the unit, so as to avoid injuries or damage.
Storage and transport
If the unit had been in storage prior to installation or is transported
to another location, care must be taken to ensure that the environ-
mental conditions are complied with
(see "System Descriptions").
Rating plate and type
code
For purposes of identification, each thyristor power converter is fit-
ted with rating plates, stating the type code and the serial number,
which serve for each unit's individual identification.
The type code contains information on the characteristics and the
configuration of the unit.
