G'day, Picked up four working units of the Allen Bradley Smart Motor Controller (SMC-2).PDF Manual The main guts of the unit contains three individual Phase Control Thyristor Modules (shown in photo #1) that are controlled individually by the main PCB controller via the three connectors you can see in photo #2 & #3 PDF Data Sheet for module The modules are arranged "TT" which is thyristor+thyristor in series shown in the Data Sheet The overall unit is rated at: Three Phase at 50/60Hz 97A continuous current maximum at 50 Pounds an Inch Torque Maximum 415 Volts at 55 kW It is the operation of Phase Control I am primarily interested in conjunction with the optional controller mentioned in the first PDF manual link above. Anyone have some ideas as to use this unit for control of a generator? I have too many thoughts of what to do with them 
...some ideas are controlled braking of generator, controlled phase (half -full), frequency control, current and voltage control... Phase Control Thyristor Modules 
Phase Control and Module Trigger Board

CraziestOzzie, That sort of gear is well above my head, though I sounds like there is potential for advanced control. I hope you find some opening for applying your talents to it. Good luck. was working fine... til the smoke got out. Cheers Gill _Cairns, FNQ |
