AE Advanced Energy was founded in Fort Collins (USA) in 1981 to manufacture energy conversion and transmission systems (semiconductors, displays, storage devices). REFUsol is a German manufacturer that has been producing solar inverters under the Refu Elektronik brand since 1965. The head office is located in Baden-Württemberg (Metzingen).
In April 2013, Advanced Energy bought REFUsol. The enterprises of the combined company are located not only in the USA, but also in Canada, Germany, Great Britain, India, India, Korea. Products are supplied to North America, Asia and Europe (more than 200 dealers, representative offices and offices on all continents). In addition to standard equipment, it provides services for the development and manufacture of devices taking into account customer requirements.
Advanced Energy offers the Thyro-Family high performance flexible series of thyristor power controllers. Thyristor regulator Thyro-S with safe operation and load monitoring can be connected to bus systems, used in stand-alone mode or used in combination with all installed point-to-point process controllers, PLCs or computer systems. Single-phase THYRO-SH1 / H RL1 devices have voltages up to 500 V and currents up to 280 A. THYRO-SH3 / H RLP3 devices have options with 1, 2 or three phases, voltages up to 500 V and currents up to 350 A.
The Thyro-A line of devices are digital thyristor controllers with three switching modes: full-wave cycle, phase control and Quick-Takt-Mode for single-phase controllers. The devices have a built-in semiconductor fuse, bus interface, optional power regulation, many functions for monitoring and optimizing the load from the network, can be operated as a stand-alone system or in combination with process control systems, PLCs, automation systems via various bus interfaces (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CANopen, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and EtherNet / IP). The models have 1, 2 or 3 phases, powers up to 1.557 kVA, voltages up to 600 V, currents up to 1500 A. The product catalog contains models: THYRO-A H1, H RL1, H RLP1, H3, H RL3, H RLP3.
The Thyro-AX series operates in voltages from 24 to 600 V and includes a diverse range of devices from 16 to 1500 A. device control. Communication protocols DeviceNet, Modbus, CANopen, as well as PROFINET, Modbus and EtherNet are available for interaction with other equipment.
Thyro-P digital power controller and regulator provides control of currents up to 2900 A, voltages up to 690 V and powers up to 2 868 kVA, realizes easy integration into automation systems, flexibility and expandability in specific applications, integrated soft start for operation with downstream transformer, integrated load monitoring, digital I / O modules, built-in semiconductor fuses. The Thyro-Touch block provides easy interaction with Thyro-P / Thyro-PX power controllers and provides a comprehensive analysis of the measured data.
Live data can be displayed as linear or bar graphs, actual values or data loggers. Anybus communication modules complement the Thyro-PX controllers with various communication interfaces. The modules allow the integration of Thyro-PX devices into complex installations via a fieldbus and provide easy connection to a wide range of industrial protocols.
The manufacturer manufactures a range of DC power supplies for use in the semiconductor industry, storage devices, laboratory installations, and industrial processes. DC sources are available in the E'Wave, MDX, Pinnacle Plus, Pinnacle, Pinnacle Diamond series. For industrial applications, high power supplies are available in the Crystal series, which can reach 180 kW at an output voltage of over 3000 voltს.
