The advantage of AFC over Burst is the reduction in thermal cycling. Another advantage of AFC is that visual flicker is
less noticeable than Distributed thus making it suitable for shortwave infrared heater applications. AFC has the
disadvantage of worse harmonics/emissions than Burst and also slightly worse than Distributed.
Phase Angle Firing mode
The Phase angle switching mode is available only on the RGx1P.N solid state relays and works in accordance with the
phase angle control principle. The power delivered to the load is controlled by the firing of the thyristors over each half
mains cycle. The firing angle depends on the control level that determines the ouput power to be delivered to the load.
The power to the load is varied linearly with the control level.
