K8AC-H

Characteristics

Note:

For phase control, the accuracy is the value when the control value of the power regulator is 100% (when the waveform of the heater current 

is a sine wave). “rdg” is the error in the reading of the input current.

*1.

The Current Transformers are sold separately.

*2.

The values for measurement current apply when the K8AC-H is used in combination with a Current Transformer.
