Description
The DMPR3 86kW Three Phase Dual Mode Power Controller offers advanced control for both inductive and resistive heating loads in industrial environments. With a maximum power capacity of 86kW (120A) at 415V AC, this enclosed thyristor-based regulator allows users to select between phase-angle, burst-firing, or hybrid control modes. The dual-cycle and single-cycle burst firing options provide high-speed response, reduce flicker, and minimise harmonic distortion.
This robust controller is built for reliability, featuring semiconductor fuses, cooling fans, and a built-in soft start ramp. Its user-configurable control inputs, wide signal compatibility, and intuitive LED status indicators make it a versatile solution for demanding heating and ventilation applications.
