Specifications
The Eurotherm Power Controller has several key specifications that make it an excellent choice for controlling three-phase power. Some of these specifications are outlined below:
- Supply Voltage: 24 V The Eurotherm Power Controller operates on a supply voltage of 24 V, which makes it suitable for use in a range of industrial settings. This voltage is commonly used in industrial automation and control systems, making the power controller easy to integrate into existing systems.
- Control Modes: Phase Angle, Burst Firing, and Time Proportioning The power controller features three different control modes: phase angle, burst firing, and time proportioning. These modes allow the user to select the most appropriate control strategy for their specific application. The phase angle mode provides smooth control of the power output, while the burst firing mode is suitable for applications that require fast response times. The time proportioning mode provides accurate control of power output over extended periods of time.
- Relay Type: Electromechanical The Eurotherm Power Controller uses an electromechanical relay to control the power output. This relay is reliable and provides accurate control of the power output, making it suitable for use in a range of industrial applications.
- Input Signals: 0-10 V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA The power controller accepts input signals from a range of sensors, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and flow sensors. The input signals can be in the form of voltage or current, and can be easily scaled to match the requirements of the application.
- Output Ratings: Up to 150 A, Up to 600 V The Eurotherm Power Controller can handle output ratings of up to 150 A and 600 V, making it suitable for use in high-power applications. The power controller features a solid-state design, which allows it to provide accurate control of the power output without the need for mechanical contacts.
- Protection Features: Overcurrent, Overvoltage, Overtemperature The power controller includes several protection features to ensure safe and reliable operation. These features include overcurrent protection, which limits the output current in the event of a fault, overvoltage protection, which limits the output voltage in the event of a fault, and overtemperature protection, which protects the power controller from damage due to overheating.
Conclusion
The Eurotherm Power Controller is a versatile and reliable device that provides efficient control of three-phase power in industrial settings. With a range of control modes, input signals, and protection features, the power controller is suitable for use in a range of applications, from plastics processing to semiconductor manufacturing. Its compact size and solid-state design make it easy to integrate into existing systems, while its electromechanical relay ensures accurate and reliable control of the power output.
