A Converter Control Unit (CCU) is a key component in power electronics systems, especially in industrial applications where precise control of electrical energy conversion is critical.

 What It Does

Controls Converters: Manages devices that convert electrical energy (e.g., AC to DC or vice versa).

Communicates via Optical Fiber: Ensures fast, isolated data exchange with power stacks like rectifiers and inverters.

Modular Architecture: Works with Power Management Modules (PMMs) and Basic Power Modules (BPMs) to allow flexible configurations.

Dual Microprocessor Setup: One processor handles converter control, while the other functions as a PLC for system logic.

Remote Diagnostics: Often includes web server functionality for troubleshooting without needing extra software.

 Where It's Used

Marine & Mining: For propulsion systems, pumps, and compressors.

Metals & Manufacturing: Drives for mill stands, winders, and fans.

Energy Systems: Helps stabilize grids and manage renewable energy inputs.

Safety & Monitoring

Includes protections against:

Overcurrent

Overheating

Short circuits

Voltage imbalances

Cooling system faults
