Product Overview

The ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ is a specialized SCA (Scaling Card) for current measurement, commercially designated as XV C723 AE17​ and catalogued under the description “CURRENT MEAS.SCAL”. Engineered by ABB and manufactured in Switzerland, the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ serves as a precision current measurement scaling card within ABB’s family of power conversion and large drive systems — most notably deployed as a spare part for the ABB ACS1000 medium-voltage AC drive. As a member of ABB’s CURRENT MEAS.SCAL product family (which spans model numbers from 3BHB002953R0101 through 3BHB002953R0117), the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ plays a critical role in conditioning and scaling current measurement signals to ensure the drive control electronics receive accurate, linear, and noise-immune current feedback for closed-loop motor control and protective functions.The ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ weighs just 0.03 kg and is built to ABB’s exacting Swiss quality standards, carrying the customs tariff number 85049099 and the former ordering code HB002953R0117. Physically, the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ is a compact printed circuit board designed to be installed within the control electronics enclosure of ACS1000 drives and related power conversion equipment. Its function is to take raw current measurement signals — derived from current transformers, Hall-effect sensors, or similar transducers on the power side — and scale, filter, and condition them into standardized signals that the drive’s control processor can interpret with high fidelity. Without the precise signal conditioning delivered by the ABB 3BHB002953R0117, the ACS1000 drive could not maintain tight torque control, accurate overcurrent protection, or stable operation under dynamic load conditions.From a system positioning perspective, the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ is a key component in ABB’s strategy of providing long-term spare part support for installed ACS1000 medium-voltage drives — many of which have been operating in the field for over two decades across mining, metals, water, and power generation applications. As a genuine ABB original component, the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ ensures perfect electrical compatibility and mechanical fit, eliminating the risks associated with third-party clones that may drift in calibration, fail under electrical stress, or compromise the safety functions of the drive. For plant operators and maintenance teams responsible for keeping legacy ACS1000 drives running, the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ represents the continuity guarantee — a small but mission-critical card that stands between stable production and an unexpected drive trip.

Technical Specifications

Note: Detailed electrical parameters (supply voltage, input current range, output signal type, accuracy class, operating temperature) are defined by the host ACS1000 drive system configuration. For exact electrical ratings, refer to the ABB ACS1000 technical manual or the nameplate of the specific drive unit.

Main Features and Advantages

The ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ delivers its core value as the precision signal conditioning interface between the power-side current sensing elements and the ACS1000 drive’s control intelligence. While physically compact at just 0.03 kg, the ABB 3BHB002953R0117​ carries out one of the most critical functions in drive operation — transforming raw current transducer signals into clean, scaled, and controller-ready measurement data.
