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.

Key Features

• Wide Dual-Voltage Input (110–230V AC): Compatible with various power systems for global use.

• High Load Rating: Supports resistive loads of 0.1–3.7kW at 230V and 0.1–1.8kW at 110V AC.

• 25A Surge Capability: Built with a robust power device to withstand high inrush current events.

• Zero Voltage Switching: Improves reliability and significantly reduces RFI, removing the need for remote filtering.

• Durable, Secure Connections: Wire-protective screw terminals ensure long-lasting, safe installation.

• Adjustable Duty Cycle: Rear trimmer allows customisable 1–30 second duty cycles for precise control.

• Burst-Fired Control: Delivers full sine-wave cycles to the load, reducing stress on components and extending service life.

• Compact, Rugged Enclosure: Optimised for professional environments where reliability is essential.
