Product Introduction
The ABB 3BHB006714R2271 (belonging to the renowned SYNCHROTACT SYN5201 series) is a high-precision automatic synchronizing device engineered for power generation, electrical transmission, and heavy industrial grid synchronization.
The SYN5201 unit safely and accurately monitors voltage, frequency, and phase angle differences between a generator (or sub-grid) and a main busbar. When precise synchronization parameters are met, it issues a closing command to the circuit breaker, preventing mechanical and electrical shocks to turbines and electrical networks during parallel connection.

Compliance & Standards Alignment
- Manufactured in accordance with strict international electrical safety standards, IEC guidelines, and IEEE requirements for power switchgear and protective relaying equipment.
- Designed with high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tolerance to withstand harsh high-voltage substation and power plant electrical noise environments.
Technical Note: The SYNCHROTACT series relies heavily on exact configuration variant codes (such as the suffix variants following
3BHB006714). Always verify that the software version, voltage class, and hardware parameter string match your existing switchgear specifications before replacing a synchronization module in a live plant environment.
Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines
- Store the synchronization module inside its original antistatic ESD shielding bag to protect sensitive microprocessors and analog measurement components from electrostatic discharge.
- Maintain clean, temperature-controlled warehouse environments where relative humidity is strictly kept below 60%.
- Avoid mechanical shocks, drops, or placing heavy objects on the unit to protect rear terminal pins and housing integrity.
Physical Installation Prerequisites
- Ensure that all high-voltage sensing lines, potential transformers (PTs), circuit breaker trip/close circuits, and auxiliary control power feeds are completely de-energized and locked out (LOTO) prior to installation.
- Mount the module securely into its designated panel rack or switchgear slot, ensuring proper metal-to-metal contact for structural grounding.
- Verify wiring terminations for voltage inputs and control outputs against the specific SYN5201 wiring diagram for your plant configuration before re-energizing the panel.
Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics
Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to this ABB synchronization module?
A: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, voltage regulators, and automatic synchronizers typically classify under HS code 8535.90 or 8537.10 (Boards, panels, consoles for electric control). Confirm final specifications with your customs broker.
Q: Is the SYN5201 module field-configurable?
A: Yes, SYNCHROTACT units feature adjustable parameter settings to match specific generator breaker closing times, slip frequencies, and voltage limits. Ensure you have the appropriate configuration software or interface tools if parameter adjustments are required.
Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?
A: Note: Price is subject to market availability, batch condition (Factory New vs. Surplus), and regional logistics; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation.
