General SCR Power Controller Specifications

(Individual specifications on each model may vary)
Input Voltage: 120, 208, 240, 277, 380, 480, 480, 575 volts, single or three phase, 50 or 60 Hertz lines.
Ambient: All ratings are designed for 50°C maximum operating temperature. For operation at higher temperatures (to 65° maximum), some derating is necessary; please consult factory.
Input Signals: 0-5, 1-5, 2-12, 4-20, 10-50 ma inputs or a manual potentiometer (all standard temperature controller outputs).
Adjustments: a. Gain adjustments provide full output for 50% to 200% standard control signal.

b. Bias adjustments for manual control to 0 to 100% output.

Voltage Protection: a. Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) provide transient voltage suppression by clamping high voltage spikes to within the PRV rating of the semiconductors.

b. Standard PRV ratings:

  • Units 380 volts and above - 1200 volts.
  • Units 277 volts and below - 800 volts.
  • Higher PRV ratings are available for specialized applications.
Reference Supply: A 12 volt DC regulated reference supply, available from the firing circuit, can connect to a remote potentiometer for manual control of the unit. This supply is regulated to within ± 1/2 % for line voltage variations. Maximum current rating from this reference source is 10 milliamperes.
Cooling: a. Current sizes 15, 30 and 60 amperes, single phase, and 15 and 30 amperes, three phase, are convection cooled.

b. Larger current sizes are forced-air cooled by integral cooling fans. Bimetallic temperature switches are supplied on all forced-air cooled units with one normally open contact wired to a terminal block from each SCR heat sink. As an alternate, normally closed contacts are available on request.
