This document describes the redundancy concepts and control types of the UNITROL® 5000 voltage regulator. It discusses single channel and two channel control with redundant converters to provide reliability in case of failures. Parallel operation and current distribution among converters is also covered.

Every converter bridge is supplied with its own ventilator and pulse amplifier.
(n-1) Redundancy • Several converter bridges operating in parallel at the same time (3 x 50 %, 4 x 33.3 %, etc.) • In case of failure of one bridge, this one is blocked. Operation continues without restrictions.
(1+1) Redundancy (Twin)
• Two bridges: one in operation, the other blocked (2 x 100 %) • In case of failure of the active bridge, there is a switch-over to the standby bridge.
