PR3-DIN-18kW

Description

The PR3-DIN range of thyristor stacks offers seamless control of three-phase electric heating loads from a Building Management System (BMS) or similar controller. Utilizing zero volts switching technology, these burst firing controllers minimize Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) issues. Available in 12kW and 18kW models for a typical AC voltage supply of 415V, they employ a two-thirds control technique. Key features include DIN rail mounting capability, DC voltage signal control, temperature trip with automatic reset, alarm output, and LED ‘OUTPUT-ON’ indication. Additionally, these models provide easy access to internal signal and power terminals and require no additional heatsink for any power rating.

Applications

The PR3-E Series is ideal for controlling electric heating coils, heating cables, and electric furnaces. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in various industrial heating applications.
