Description
ABB CVM12B 3BHE037864R1110 is a high-precision Current & Voltage Measurement Board
Product Title & Description
Model: 3BHE037864R1110 (CVM12B / CVMI2B, UFC911B110) The ABB CVM12B 3BHE037864R1110 is a high-precision Current & Voltage Measurement Board for ABB ACS1000 medium voltage IGCT variable frequency drives. It samples the drive’s AC output voltage and current signals, converts analog measurements to digital optical signals and transmits them to the main drive controller for closed-loop vector control and drive protection. Widely applied in power plants, mining, oil & gas, metallurgy large fans, pumps and compressor MV drive systems, it provides critical electrical feedback for high-power IGCT medium voltage drives.
Core Product Overview
CVM12B is the signal measurement feedback board inside ABB ACS1000 medium voltage drive cabinet. It collects 3-phase output current and voltage signals from the power stage, performs high-speed sampling and isolation conversion, then sends digitized measurement data via fiber optics to the main drive control unit. It delivers real-time high accuracy voltage/current feedback for vector control algorithm execution. It also detects overcurrent, phase imbalance, overvoltage and undervoltage conditions, and sends fault alarm signals to the main controller for rapid drive protection shutdown. Optical communication achieves full galvanic isolation between high voltage power circuit and low-voltage control electronics, effectively suppressing EMI interference in high-power drive cabinets. It is a critical spare part for maintenance and retrofit of legacy ABB ACS1000 MV drives.

Installation & Configuration Guide
7.1 Pre-installation Preparation
Verify part number 3BHE037864R1110 . Inspect PCB, terminals and fiber ports for scratches or damage. Prepare drive cabinet drawings, optical fiber cables, 24VDC control power supply and ABB commissioning tool. Lock out & tag all medium voltage and auxiliary power before entering the MV drive cabinet. Wear ESD protection.
7.2 Installation Steps
Insert board into its designated rack slot inside cabinet and secure mounting screws. Connect 24VDC auxiliary control power terminals. Install optical fiber links between and main drive controller; keep fiber connectors clean and avoid sharp bending. Connect voltage/current transducer signal wiring. Tighten all signal and power terminals, verify protective earthing. Maintain cabinet airflow for forced cooling.
7.3 System Configuration & Commissioning
Power up only the 24V control supply (medium voltage remains disconnected). Check board LED status and optical communication link. Use ABB drive commissioning software to read voltage and current measurement values, verify sampling accuracy. Simulate overcurrent/overvoltage signals to test drive protection response. After successful low voltage test, perform step-by-step medium voltage energization, monitor real-time feedback signals. Save commissioning parameters and baseline logs.
7.4 Maintenance & Precautions
During plant shutdown outages, inspect fiber connector cleanliness, terminal tightness, PCB dust accumulation and cabinet cooling fan status. Do not open the PCB housing. High voltage danger in drive cabinet. If measurement deviation or communication fault appears, check transducers, fiber links and 24V control supply before replacing .
