Safety information
Description 3
The SICROWBAR DC overvoltage protection is a symmetric thyristor switch which protects
the inductances from overvoltage and discharges capacitances in a targeted manner by
switching on an external load resistor. This allows the thyristors and diodes of a primary
power converter to be protected. The thyristor switch can be switched on even without an
overvoltage using the additional module ("Fast de-energization option"). The response to
overvoltage or fast de-energization is measured by integrated monitoring of the voltage via
the de-energization resistor, and a signal with secure electrical separation is issued.
Area of application:
The device is used to protect excitation units (excitation windings and power converters) on
synchronous motors and generators against overvoltages or to dissipate the exciting current
in a controlled way using a de-energization resistor if an interrupt occurs. The device can
also be used for discharging DC link capacitors.
Figure 3-1 View
Description
3.1 Overview
3.1 Overview
Figure 3-2 Schematic circuit diagram
Method of operation
SICROWBAR DC overvoltage protection monitors the voltage at terminals C and D of the
power converter or the excitation winding. Once the operate voltage has been reached, the
de-energization resistor is connected in parallel to the excitation winding by a thyristor. This
means that the energy in the excitation winding can be safely dissipated in the excitation unit
even if an interrupt occurs.
Repeating the switching operation is only permitted after a sufficient cooling time has
elapsed. See Chapter Restart time (recovery time) (Page 65).
The current flow in the thyristor is measured via the voltage at the de-energization resistor
and is signaled with secure electrical separation.
The recommended thermostatic switch measures any overheating of the de-energization
resistor.
The additional fast de-energization option makes it possible to trigger ignition even if there is
no overvoltage.
Design
The components of the device are:
● Power connections (copper bars) C, D
● Two thyristors V1, V2 connected antiparallel
● Firing module which ignites the thyristor in the relevant blocking direction at the operate
voltage (800 V, 1,200 V, 1,600 V, 1,900 V, 2,200 V, 2,600 V, and 3,000 V).

3.3 Functions
3.3 Functions
3.3.1 Monitoring functions
3.3.1.1 Voltage measurement for de-energization/discharge resistor

The voltage measurement module is connected to busbar C via series resistors (R11, R12)
and to the external de-energization/discharge resistor via terminal XEM1.
The following signal states are generated by querying the voltage between busbar C and
terminal XEW1:
● Current flow (terminal 35, 42)
LOW= voltage below the threshold (no current flow)
HIGH= voltage is above the threshold (current flow)
See Two-tier terminal 30 to 47 (Page 35).
● Inverse current flow (terminal 34, 40)
Terminal 35, 42 inverted
● Relays K1 to K3:
drop out when current is flowing
For the position of the contacts, see the relay contacts table
These signals are used to deactivate the power converter after it responds or to set the
current to zero.
For details on the switching thresholds, see Table 3-5 Switching thresholds and series
resistors of the "current flow" monitoring function (Page 24).
When the "current flow" signal stops being displayed, this does not mean that the electric
circuit is actually current free. Restarting with capacitor DC links is only permitted once
current=0. It is possible to delay the disappearance of the "current flow" signal using
adjustable pulse stretching to bridge the wait time.
See Chapter Settings for switches S1 to S5 for "current flow" pulse stretching (Page 38).
3.3.1.2 Wire break in supply line XEW1

The interrupt (wire break) in external line XEW1 to the de-energization/discharge resistor is
reported in 3 ways.
● Open-circuit detection terminal 44:
LOW= wire break
HIGH= no wire break
See Two-tier terminal 30 to 47 (Page 35).
● Relay K4:
drops out if wire breaks
For the position of the contacts, see Terminals 50 to 64 (relays 1 to 5) (Page 36).
Both these signals can be used as an alarm in the higher-level control.
Description
3.3 Functions
● Detecting the wire break via the "current flow" signal status
See chapter Settings for switch S6 for linking the inverse current flow to wire break
(Page 37).
If switch S6 is closed, the "current flow" signal is set to HIGH and the "inverse current
flow" signal to LOW if a wire breaks.
The response time for the "wire break" signal is <3 s.
3.3.1.3 Overload at de-energization/discharge resistor

The thermostatic switch (connectors 3 and 4) responds to overheating of the de-
energization/discharge resistor.
The signal occurs as follows:
● Terminal 46 becomes LOW
● Relay K5 drops out. The connection between terminals 63 and 64 is interrupted.
Connector 3 +4 has secure electrical separation to electronics and ground for line voltage up
to 1,200 V. For details, see Chapter Terminals 3 and 4 (Page 34)
3.3.1.4 Switching on and failure of the electronic power supply

When the electronic power supply is switched on, all outputs are switched off for around 1.5
s (high impedance) and all normally open contacts of the relays are open. If the voltage
drops below 18 V, the same status is produced.
Note for the configuration:
We recommend using the outputs as follows to ensure safety against the wire breaking:
Table 3- 3 Outputs of the voltage measurement module
Output Description Recommendation

K1 to K5 Relay contacts Only use normally open contact
34, 40 Inverse current flow As active enabling signal
44 Inverse wire break As active enabling signal
46 Inverse overload As active enabling signal
35, 42 Current flow Relay coil from 24 V
Using the normally closed contacts of the relay is not recommended.

The use (of one or more signals) as recommended (the right-hand column of the table
above) ensures that the power converter or the higher-level control of the system is switched
off when a wire breaks in a signal line.
Description
3.3 Functions
3.3.2 Fast de-energization option

The fast de-energization option is an assembled PCB which is built into the device.
It makes it possible to trip the device at any time, even without overvoltage present on
terminals C, D. The function is tripped by activating at least one of the 3 terminals XSE1,
XSE2, and XSE3.
Safe ignition is possible if at least 5 to 10% of the operate voltage is present at connections
C, D.

to Uline x √ 2 × 2
ULIM We recommend the following safety clearance to protect the
components: ULim < UMax × 0.9
Dimensioning
The operate voltage UAn (ignition voltage) is specified as follows:
Uperiodic < UAn < ULim < UMax
The following thus applies: Uperiodic < UAn < ULim < UMax × 0.9
The device must be arranged close to the UMax designated element (short connecting lines).
The critical current gradient (according to the selection table) must not be exceeded. In
general, adherence to the gradient is guaranteed by the inductances of the resistors and
supply lines. Additional inductances are not recommended as this would reduce the
efficiency of the voltage limitation.
Description
3.4.2 Selection according to maximum current

The complete arrangement comprises a SICROWBAR DC overvoltage protection and de-
energization/discharge resistor. The dimensioning of this resistor in relation to current
carrying capacity is not described in detail here, but two basic conditions must be taken into
account:
● The resistance value must be so low that even at the highest load current, the voltage is
still under the destruction limit of the supplying power converter and the excitation
winding (operate voltage of the SICROWBAR).
● The resistance value must be high enough that the maximum current is not reached by
the thyristor (see Table 3-1 Ordering data (Page 15)). The arrangement of fuses on the
power converter must also be taken into consideration.
● The design notes from standard IEEE 421.6 (draft) must also be applied for protecting the
excitation winding of synchronous generators.
A distinction is made between two cases:
● Without option G11: The device is only used for surge suppression.
● With option G11: The device is also used for fast de-energization.
(Option G11 = assembled fast de-energization PCB)
3.4.2.1 Without option G11

If the device is used for surge suppression, the selection of the device and the dimensioning
of the de-energization resistor must be considered together.
The device must be selected so that its maximum pulse current based on the dimensions of
the resistor is not exceeded. See Chapter Typical load current characteristic for the three
device power stages (Page 65).
3.4.2.2 With option G11

If the device is used for fast de-energization of synchronous generators,
the maximum current which occurs in the excitation circuit lmax can be calculated as follows:
IE,N is the nominal excitation current. For simplicity, it is also calculated with 3 • IE,N The
chronological sequence of the current through the SICROWBAR DC corresponds to that
Description
3.5 Modules
described in Chapter Typical load current characteristic for the three device power stages
(Page 65). The calculated lmax must be smaller than the maximum permissible pulse current
of the device. See also Device order numbers (Page 15).
3.4.2.3 Operation in a voltage DC link with a capacitor

For connection suggestion, see also Figure 6-2 DC link discharge connection suggestion
(Page 32).
The device can also be used for discharging DC link capacitors.
The operate voltage must be far enough above the maximum working voltage of the voltage
DC link. The SICROWBAR DC is generally ignited specifically via the fast de-energization
option to discharge the DC link. It is only possible to remove the thyristors once the holding
current has been undercut by around 0.5 A. This means that it is necessary to allow for a
short operation interrupt.
3.5 Modules
3.5.1 Voltage measurement
3.5.1.1 Switching thresholds and series resistors of the "current flow" monitoring function
The voltage measurement for the de-energization/discharge resistor is connected to busbar
C via the series resistors (R11, R12) and to the external de-energization/discharge resistor
via terminal XEM1. This means that the voltage between the ends of the resistor is
monitored and output as the "current flow" signal. Above a certain voltage between C and
XEW1 (for details, see the device data), the output at terminal 34 (inverse current flow)
switches from HIGH to LOW, the output at terminal 35 (current flow) switches from LOW to
HIGH, and the relay contacts K1 to K3 drop out.

For a description of overload at de-energization/discharge resistor, see Monitoring functions
(Page 18).
An external thermostatic switch (or several in series) can be connected to this clamp-type
terminal. This provides secondary protection against overloading the resistor and must be
configured for the temperature conditions.
For details on the thermostatic switch, see De-energization/discharge resistor and
thermostatic switch (Page 71).

HIGH = with feed of 24 V = 19.8 - 23.5 V, resilient up to 80 mA, short-circuit proof to

electronics ground.
LOW = 0 - 1 V, resilient up to 400 mA, short-circuit proof to +24 V.
The lines (terminal numbers 32 to 47) are "DVC-A (safety extra-low voltage)" and must be
laid with secure electrical separation from all lines which carry line voltage.
These must be laid so that they are as separate from the electric power cables as possible.
The maximum line length that can be connected is 30 m.
The device is grounded via the protective conductor connection, see Chapter PE terminal
(Page 40).
Note for the configuration:
Because up to 3.2 V can drop out at internal protective elements of the outputs at 80 mA, the
required operating voltage must be present across terminals 34, 40, 44, and 46 to ensure
that external relays can be activated safely. We recommend activating external relays via
terminals 35 and 42 as they are LOW active and the relay coils are directly connected to the
P24 supply. See also Arrangement of terminals (Page 33).

Current carrying capacity: 250 VAC/3 A and 250 VDC/0.2 A and 24 VDC/3 A
minimum load: 24 V/5 mA or 12 V/10 mA
The maximum allowable line length is 300 m.
When routing the lines of relay contacts with safety extra-low voltage (terminals 50 to 64), it
is important to ensure secure electrical separation of power supply cords. If the relay
contacts (terminals 50 to 64) are operated with voltages >60 V, here too, it is important to
ensure secure electrical separation from the lines of terminals 32 to 47.
If relays K1 to K5 (lines of terminal numbers 50 to 64) are operated with "DVC-A (safety
extra-low voltage)" and "DVC-C (supply voltages)", secure electrical separation from each
other must be ensured.
6.3.4 Settings for switch S6 for linking the inverse current flow to wire break
Switch S6 must only be operated when the power unit is switched off.
Closing switch S6 can link the "current flow" and "inverse current flow" signals to the "wire
break" signal so that if a wire break occurs (in the wiring to the de-energization resistor)
"STR current flow" is signaled. We recommend this for all systems in which a separate
evaluation of the "inverse wire break" signal (relay 4 "wire break") does not take place. This
does not change the logical statuses at the "inverse wire break" and "inverse overload"
outputs.
Factory delivery status = switch S6 open.
Always solder closed contacts.
Example for switching positions S1 to S6

Alternative option for linking the "wire break" signal to the "current flow" signal
If the relay contacts are connected as follows,

the enabling circuit will be interrupted if a wire
break occurs.
K1, K2, K3 = current flow
K4 = wire break
The function at the "current flow" and "wire
break" relay outputs is not changed
6.3.5 Settings for switches S1 to S5 for "current flow" pulse stretching

Switches S1 to S5 may only be actuated when the power unit is switched off.
Closing switches S1 to S5 can extend the active status of the "current flow" and "inverse
current flow" signals. Times ranging from 1 mm to 1,500 ms can be set.

Maintenance 9
WARNING
Dangerous voltages.
When operating electrical devices, it is inevitable that certain components will carry
dangerous voltages.
Dangerous voltage levels may be present at the signaling relays at the customer's site.
Therefore, failure to handle the units properly can result in death or serious physical injury
as well as extensive property damage.
When performing maintenance on this unit, you should therefore observe all information
provided in this chapter as well as any notices attached to the product itself.
Only qualified personnel who are familiar with all the safety instructions in this description,
as well as the assembly, operating, and maintenance instructions, should carry out
maintenance work on this unit.
Before carrying out maintenance work, it must be ensured that the unit is disconnected
from all power supplies, disabled, and grounded. Before they are shut down, both the
converter unit and the excitation winding are subject to dangerous voltage levels; A
hazardous voltage is present even if the converter device contactor is open.
The capacitors of the primary power converter or DC power converter connected in parallel
can continue to carry a dangerous voltage for up to a minute after disconnection.
Opening the device is therefore only permitted after an appropriate wait time.
Ensure safe isolation from the supply before commencing work. See Safety information
(Page 9).
Use authorized spare parts only.
The device must be provided with extensive protection measures against contamination in
order to prevent voltage flashovers and, therefore, destruction. Dust and foreign bodies,
which are brought in by the cooling-air flow in particular, must be thoroughly removed at
certain intervals; this depends on the rate of accumulation of dirt, but should be carried out at
least every 12 months. The device must be blown out with dry compressed air at a maximum
of 1 bar, or cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. The screw connections (also the protective
conductor connections) must be retightened each time that maintenance work is carried out.

B.3 Restart time (recovery time)
Single tripping is periodically possible after

30 min wait time.
After being triggered twice in a time period

<30 min, a recovery time of 300 min is
required.
* = Tripping the SICROWBAR DC overvoltage protection

There are multiple cases in which current flows through the SICROWBAR and thus causes
the external resistor to heat up:
B.3 Restart time (recovery time)
1. De-energization according to e-potency in fast de-energization if it is not possible to feed

back via the power converter.
2. Generator slips: The generator is disconnected from the line supply system after 200 ms
for mechanical reasons. A current of 11 kA can flow at this time. The resistor should be
thermally configured for 2 x 200 ms.
3. Ignited by the overvoltage pulse on the line. The power converter consequently feeds to
the de-energization resistor. Significant and sustained power loss occurs depending on
the load point.
This operation should be avoided by immediately limiting the power converter to remove
the thyristor in SICROWBAR.

D.1 De-energization/discharge resistor and thermostatic switch
The following components are described as examples:
● Discharge resistor
Company: GINO
Type: 3PR3001-1K-1R17 (1.17 Ω)
Other types: 3PR3001-1M 2R3, 3PR3801-1B 0R24, 3PR3401-1F 0R6
● Thermostatic switch:
Company: Microtherm
Type: R28-160 05 J Ö TR/STD 52N121934
Selecting the de-energization resistor

After determining the resistance value according to Chapter Selection according to maximum
current (Page 23), the size (frame size) of the resistor must be selected so that the highest
permissible temperature of the cast iron elements (approx. 300 °C) is not exceeded at the
highest load that occurs (duty cycle, worst-case scenarios).
Selecting the thermostatic switch

The connection lines of the thermostatic switch must be configured for short-term heating to
300 °C. The lines must be laid so that they are in hot air currents as little as possible. The
switching threshold of the thermostatic switch must be set so as to prevent damage (crack
formation) to the cast iron elements.
Recommended thermostatic switch with 160 °C from Microtherm
● Order key: R28-160 05 J Ö TR/STD 52N121934
● Microtherm type: R28
● Temperature: 160
● Tolerance: 05
● NC contact: NC reset temperature (standard): TR/STD
● Design type (ceramic): 52N
● Base plate with mounting: 121
● Plug connection: 934, contacts
● Crossbar (P for low voltage)
● Hysteresis: "Normal"
Additional information
Additional documents
● The connections are made using Faston tabs (6.3 mm).

● Lines for making connections with Faston plugs:
Nickel wire 1.5 mm², NiMoGi/ m type, flexible, white
Installing the thermostatic switch

The de-energization resistor and the thermostatic switch must be installed correctly so that
the rising temperature can be correctly detected and to ensure that the thermostatic switch
functions. The lines must be laid in parallel.
The thermostatic switch is mounted on a mounting bracket in the center of the upper
crossbar. The vertical distance from the cast iron elements must be at least 19 mm. This
gives an air clearance for double/enforced insulation for 1,200 V for an installation altitude of
up to 2,775 m. The heat-resistant lines from the thermostatic switch are laid to a junction
terminal.
The lines must be laid from the junction terminal to the APCB with one of the following:
● NYM-J (sheathed cable 300 V)
● H07R (line 750 V)
If multiple de-energization resistors are to be connected in parallel, we recommend installing

a thermostatic switch on each resistor and connecting them in series. The cumulative
resistance of the external thermostatic switches and lines connected in series must not
exceed 100 Ω.
Additional notes:
The bracket must be reinforced in the corners so that it is not easy to bend out of shape
either after or during installation.
A second mounting bracket must also be installed for fastening the line.
A complete package can be ordered from GINO AG using the order number 132501. It
contains the following components:
● Thermostatic switch 160 °C
● Mounting bracket for thermostatic switch
● Mounting bracket for line
● Cable 300 °C
● Ceramic junction terminal
