Working Principle
The 8700700-006 microcontroller regulates the output of an electrostatic precipitator transformer-rectifier set by monitoring field voltage, current and sparking behavior. It adjusts the control output to maintain optimal ESP performance while avoiding excessive arcing or instability. The controller analyzes operating data and generates alarms when abnormal conditions occur. It can communicate with plant monitoring systems to support remote diagnostics, data logging and operational analysis. Configurable parameters allow the controller to be tuned for different ESP fields, dust characteristics and process requirements.
