3.2 Insulating the controller
When the main switch (miniature circuit breaker) is in the OFF position, components inside
the cabinets are all isolated from power supply by means of a mechanical switch.
Do not open the cabinet without first disconnecting the main supply cable from the power
line. Remember that even with main switches in OFF positions, there are unguarded terminals
inside the cabinet witch may have dangerous potential across them.
3.3 Insulating by means of SSR: hoe does it work
Remember that solid state relays cannot make a mechanical break of the contacts since they
are semi-conductor devices.
Hence, even if all the regulators are disabled (or in “Manual” mode with output power set to
“0”) only the current on loads will be 0, there may still be some voltage in the heaters.
On the three-phases with neutral supply system, SSR units are always positioned on the live
side of the supply, this keep the residual voltage to a low value. On the three-phases delta
without neutral system supply there always be phase voltage on the heaters when main switch
is in ON position.
Furthermore the SSR may fail in conducting condition. In this case temperature will arise
even if theoretical power is set OFF.
