![]() Heater Power Output
The general purpose control panels are set up to run process heating systems such as circulation, duct heaters or any other resistive load. All control panels are shipped factory pre-wired according to the National Electrical Code, eliminating the need by the customer to design your own control system, purchase separate components and construct your own working temperature control system. The standard temperature control systems are supplied with the standard features listed. They are based on SCR power controls, solid state or mechanical relays. Panels designed using Mercury Relays are available on request. |
Silicone Controlled Rectifier (SCR) Power Controls are a solid state device that provides infinitely variable power to accurately maintain setpoint temperature and extends heater life by maintaining a stable process temperature. Control panels with SCRs that utilize cooling fans require a minimum of 6 inches clearance on both sides to allow for proper air flow. • Single-phase systems use single-phase zero cross SCRs. • Three-phase systems use 2-leg three-phase zero cross SCRs. Solid State Relays offer many of the benefits of SCRs but often at a lower cost. Maintenance costs are potentially lower due to less costly SSRs used per control circuit. Mercury Relays offer a low-cost alternative to SCRs and SSRs for process heating applications and provide longer life than a mechanical contactor due to their self renewing mercury contacts.
