1.前言 Blackground

因为发电厂电机设备的使用量逐步增多，促使电动机的正常运转发挥成为了其他的设备能够正常运转的前提条件，因此能够合理选择和使用电动机控制器是对正常的工业现场生产工作负责的表现，只有在电动机正常发挥其功能的基础上，才能够保证整个电机设备的工作流程不会受到干扰，可以正常运行。在斯里兰卡某电厂中，给客户推荐我司的ARD2F系列。

Because the use of motor equipment in power plants is gradually increasing, the normal operation of the motor has become a prerequisite for the normal operation of other equipment. Therefore, the reasonable selection and use of motor controllers is responsible for normal industrial site production work.

It also provides a variety of measurement and control functions and a variety of motor control modes, which can meet the protection and control requirements of the motor, and effectively protect the motor safe operation. Next, we introduce the actual application of the ARD2F intelligent motor controller in power plants for a specific introduction.

2.电厂对电动机控制器的功能要求 

Functional requirements for motor controllers in the power plant

在电厂中，发电总量中消耗在电动机上的电量就占了很大一部分，而各类风机、水泵、空压机又占电动机所耗电的一半以上。由于发电厂电动机的工作环境较恶劣，经常容易发生堵转、短路、断相或长期过载运行等故障，所以急需一个可以对电机进行实时保护、控制，保证发电厂电动机的正常运行。

In power plants, the electricity consumed by motors accounts for a large part of the total power generation, and various types of fans, pumps, and air compressors account for more than half of the electricity consumed by motors. Due to the harsh working environment of the motors in power plants, they are often prone to faults such as locked rotor, short circuit, open phase or long-term overload operation, so there is an urgent need for a real-time protection and control of the motor to ensure the normal operation of the motor in the power plant.

因此，ARD2F可以对电厂电机进行电压、电流全电量参数测量，并且带通讯功能，控制器需要有自诊断输出、断电输出、故障记录等功能，总结为如下功能：
