ABB SW-6220030 Overview

The ABB SW-6220030 is a resistance temperature detector based on the PT100 sensing principle. PT100 sensors are widely used in industrial systems because they provide a standardized resistance-based method for measuring temperature.

In ABB industrial equipment, temperature sensors can be used to monitor components where temperature information is required for control, protection, diagnostics or operating-condition supervision.

Available trade records also identify SW-6220030 specifically as an ABB PT100 temperature sensor. One record describes the component as a PT100 sensor with a 32 VDC specification, while another identifies a 24 V voltage reference. These records should be treated as application or shipment descriptions rather than a definitive substitute for the ABB technical connection documentation.

PT100 Temperature Measurement

A PT100 sensor is an RTD temperature sensor whose nominal resistance is 100 ohms at 0°C. Temperature changes produce corresponding resistance changes, which can then be measured by suitable monitoring electronics.

This measurement principle provides stable and repeatable temperature information for industrial control systems. The sensor can therefore be used as an input to monitoring equipment, protection functions or temperature-control logic, depending on the specific ABB system configuration.

The SW-6220030 identification should be retained when searching for compatible ABB temperature-sensing components.

Temperature Range

Available product information associated with ABB reference 3BHE020520R0001 identifies a temperature measurement range of 0–100°C and lists SW-6220030 as the replacement product reference.

This range is suitable for many industrial monitoring situations where the measured equipment operates within moderate temperature conditions. The exact allowable operating and installation limits should always be confirmed against the applicable ABB documentation for the specific equipment.

Industrial Drive Temperature Monitoring

Temperature monitoring is an important function in industrial drive systems. Electrical components, mechanical assemblies and cooling circuits can all be affected by operating temperature.

A PT100 sensor can provide the temperature feedback required by a monitoring or control system. Depending on the equipment architecture, this information can be used for indication, alarm generation, protective functions or operating-condition analysis.

The ABB SW-6220030 is therefore suited to applications where a reliable RTD temperature input is required within an ABB industrial installation.

Application in ABB Equipment

ABB temperature sensors are used across a range of industrial equipment. The SW-6220030 reference appears in product and trade records alongside ABB drive-related components and temperature-measurement products.

The sensor can form part of a larger monitoring arrangement in which the PT100 element detects the temperature of the relevant component and the associated electronics convert the resistance value into usable temperature information.

The actual installation point depends on the equipment design and should be identified from the corresponding ABB system documentation.

Sensor Technology

The PT100 sensing element operates according to the predictable relationship between electrical resistance and temperature. At the reference point of 0°C, a standard PT100 element has a nominal resistance of 100 ohms.

As temperature changes, the sensor resistance changes accordingly. The connected measuring circuit can interpret this resistance and determine the corresponding temperature.

This makes PT100 technology particularly useful in industrial environments where continuous temperature measurement is required.

Replacement Reference

One product reference identifies ABB 3BHE020520R0001 as a temperature sensor and explicitly lists SW-6220030 as the replacement product ID. The same source describes the sensor as a 0–100°C temperature sensor.

This cross-reference is useful when researching historical ABB part numbers or identifying the relationship between an SW-series service reference and an ABB product ID.

However, replacement compatibility should still be confirmed using the complete equipment documentation, particularly where connector configuration, physical dimensions or electrical interfaces are important.

Electrical Interface Considerations

A PT100 sensor is fundamentally a resistance-based sensing element. The connected measurement system supplies or measures the appropriate electrical signal and converts the measured resistance into temperature information.

Trade records have described SW-6220030 with different voltage values, including 24 V and 32 V. These values should not automatically be interpreted as the sensor element’s own rated operating voltage because they may reflect the associated measurement circuit or shipment description.

For actual installation, the ABB equipment connection diagram should be used to determine the correct wiring and interface requirements.

Temperature Monitoring Function

The main purpose of the SW-6220030 is temperature sensing. The sensor provides temperature information to the connected monitoring system, allowing the equipment controller or monitoring device to evaluate the measured condition.

Temperature information can be useful for detecting abnormal operating conditions, supporting equipment protection and maintaining appropriate operating parameters.

Industrial Application Areas

PT100 temperature sensors are commonly used in industrial systems that require accurate temperature measurement. Typical application areas can include:

• Industrial drive systems
• Power-conversion equipment
• Motor and auxiliary equipment monitoring
• Cooling-system temperature measurement
• Industrial control cabinets
• Process equipment temperature monitoring
• Electrical equipment protection systems

The precise application of ABB SW-6220030 depends on the equipment in which the sensor is installed.

Maintenance and Identification

When maintaining equipment containing the ABB SW-6220030, the complete part number should be recorded exactly as shown on the component or equipment documentation.

The part number SW-6220030 should be distinguished from related ABB product IDs such as 3BHE020520R0001. Maintaining both references in a technical record can simplify component identification and historical documentation.

Before selecting a replacement, the sensor type, measurement range, connection arrangement, mechanical dimensions and associated equipment should be checked against the applicable documentation.

Product Verification

Available industrial product references consistently identify SW-6220030 as an ABB PT100 temperature sensor. Trade records also describe the part as an ABB PT100 sensor.

A separate product reference associates SW-6220030 with ABB 3BHE020520R0001, described as a 0–100°C temperature sensor.

For catalogue identification, the most useful description is therefore:

ABB SW-6220030 PT100 Temperature Sensor 0–100°C

Technical Catalogue Name

A suitable technical product name for an industrial automation catalogue is:

ABB SW-6220030 PT100 Temperature Sensor 0–100°C

Useful search variations include ABB SW-6220030, ABB SW-6220030 PT100, ABB PT100 Temperature Sensor, ABB SW-6220030 Temperature Sensor, ABB 3BHE020520R0001, and ABB 0–100°C PT100 Sensor.
