1.1 General
The
36P1 Series
of power controls is a three phase controller available in 120 thru 575vac with current
ratings from 20 to 600A. Using six SCRs in a three phase AC switch configuration, it provides smooth
phase angle control for 0-100% output power. It comes standard with an isolated 4-20ma signal input,
a manual potentiometer input and Load Voltage Regulation. The integral offset and gain adjustments
allow tailoring of the output power with respect to the control signal input. Optional features such as
Current Limit and Current Trip are also available.
Standard features include isolated heat sink design thru 75 amperes, semi conductor protection style
fuses, MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistor), dv/dt networks and high PIV rated SCRs. The
36P1 Series
is well
suited for a variety of loads including inductive, resistive and high inrush.
