Description
VS 16DVS 16A Dual-Voltage Switched Potentiometer Energy Regulator
The ZVS 16DVS (X10851) Switched Potentiometer Energy Regulator is a high-performance, dual-voltage burst-fired controller designed for precise proportional power regulation of resistive and inductive loads. Compact, durable and engineered for professional environments, this 16A regulator delivers smooth, accurate control across a full 0–100% output range. Its advanced zero-voltage switching (ZVS) technology ensures reliable operation, minimal electrical noise and extended equipment life.
Using synchronised burst firing, the ZVS 16DVS transmits complete sine-wave cycles to the load, preventing sudden current fluctuations and reducing RFI without the need for additional filters. With adjustable block lengths and a 1–30 second variable duty cycle, it offers exceptional flexibility for a wide range of heating, catering and industrial applications.
