DCT880 Thyristor power controller

Overcoming decarbonization challenges in industrial heating applications

To provide precise heat control that leads to better utilization of raw materials and reduced energy consumption, ABB developed DCT880 power controller. Extremely accurate temperature control allows production processes to run faster while consuming less energy. When allied to ever-cheaper renewable sources of energy, the DCT880 provides further cost and energy savings.

If current trends continue, global energy consumption and energy-related carbon dioxide emissions will continue to increase over the next decades. Reducing energy usage in highly energy-intensive environments such as industrial heating is a vital part of the move towards a low-carbon and sustainable future.
