Product Description
The RGC1P is a series of solid
state contactors (with integrated heatsink) that give the possibility to control output power
of 1-phase loads with an analog control input. Input types
cover a wide range of current
and voltage ranges. Local setting by an external potentiometer is possible. Switching
modes, selectable through a
front knob, allow phase angle
control, full cycle control,
Specifications are at a surrounding temperature of 25°C unless
otherwise specified.
advanced full cycle control
specific for short wave infrared
heaters and soft starting for
limiting inrush current of loads
having a high temperature
coefficient.
The output of the RGC1P is
protected against overvoltages
by means of an integrated
varistor across the output. Two
front LEDs indicate the status
of the load and control.

Note:
• Control input lines must be installed together to maintain products susceptibility to Radio Frequency Interference.
• Use of AC solid state relays may according to the application and the load current, cause conducted radio interferences. Use of mains filters may be
necessary for cases where the user must meet E.M.C requirements. The capacitor values given inside the filtering specification tables should be taken
only as indications, the filter attenuation will depend on the final application.
• This product has been designed for Class A equipment. (External filtering may be required, refer to filtering section). Use of this product in domestic
environments may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to employ additional mitigation methods.
• Surge tests on RGC..A models were carried out with the signal line impedence network. In case the line impedance is less than 40Ω,
it is suggested that AC supply is provided through a secondary circuit where the short circuit limit between conductors and ground is 1500VA or less.
• A deviation of one step in the distributed full cycle models and up to 1.5% Full Scale Deviation in phase angle models is considered to be within PC1 criteria.
- Performance Criteria 1 (Performance Criteria A): No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed when the product is operated as intended.
- Performance Criteria 2 (Performance Criteria B): During the test, degredation of performance or partial loss of function is allowed. However, when the test
is complete the product should return operating as intended by itself.
- Performance Criteria 3 (Performance Criteria C): Temporary loss of function is allowed, provided the function can be restored by manual operation of the control.

Switching Modes
Firing periods Non-firing periods
MODE 1: Phase angle switching
The Phase angle switching mode works in accordance with the phase angle control principle. The power delivered to the load is controlled by
the firing of the thyristors over each half mains cycle. The firing angle depends on the input signal level that determines the ouput power to be
delivered to the load.
Output with Phase angle switching mode @ 50% input level:
Firing angle
Full cycle switching
In Full cycle switching modes only full cycles are being switched. Switching at zero voltage reduces EMC interference as compared to phase
angle switching (mode 1). The ON full cycles are distributed over a specific time base. Compared to burst firing, this enables faster and more
accurate control of the load in addition to extending the heater lifetime. This mode is suitable for use only with resistive loads.
MODE 2: 1x Full cycle switching
This mode offers the lowest resolution for full cycle switching, i.e., 1 full cycle. At 50% output power demand the SSR will switch ON the load
for 1 full cycle and OFF for 1 full cycle in a repeated pattern. Below 50% output power demand, the non-firing period increases but the firing
period remains fixed at 1 full cycle. Over 50% output power demand, the firing period increases but the non-firing period remains fixed at 1 full
cycle.
Hence at 25% output power demand, the non-firing period gets longer and the SSR will switch ON the load for 1 full cycle and OFF for 3 full
cycles in a repeated pattern. At 75% output power demand, the firing period is longer and the SSR will switch ON the load for 3 full cycles and
OFF for 1 full cycle in a repeated pattern. At 100% output power demand, the SSR switches the load fully ON.

Switching Modes
MODE 3: 4x Full cycle switching
MODE 4: 16x Full cycle switching
In mode 3 the minimum resolution is 4 full cycles. At 50% output power demand the SSR will switch ON the load for 4 full cycles and OFF
for 4 full cycles in a repeated pattern. Below 50% output power demand, the non-firing period increases but the firing period remains fixed at
4 full cycles. Over 50% output power demand, the firing period increases but the non-firing period remains fixed at 4 full cycles.
In mode 4 the minimum resolution is 16 full cycles. At 50% output power demand the SSR will switch ON the load for 16 full cycles and OFF
for 16 full cycles in a repeated pattern. Below 50% output power demand, the non-firing period increase but the firing period remains fixed at
16 full cycles. Over 50% output power demand the firing period increases but the non-firing period remains fixed at 16 full cycles.
Output with 4 FC switching mode @ 50% input level:
utput with 16 FC switching mode @ 50% input level:
O
MODE 5: Advanced Full Cycle (AFC) switching
This switching mode is based on the principle of distributed full cycle explained above with the difference that the resolution for firing and nonfiring periods is changed to a half mains cycle. This mode is intended for use with short / medium wave infrared heaters. The purpose of the
half cycle non-firing time is to reduce the annoying visual flickering of such lamp loads.
Below 50% output power demand, the SSR switches ON the load in half cycle periods. The non-firing periods are full cycles.
Above 50% output power demand, the SSR switches ON the load in full cycle periods but the non-firing periods are half cycles.
Output @ 33% input level: Output @ 66% input level:
Firing in half cycles, Non-firing in full cycles Firing in full cycles, Non-firing in half cycles
SOFT STARTING
Soft starting is utilised to reduce the start-up current of loads having a high cold to hot resistance ratio such as short wave infrared heaters.
The thyristor firing angle is gradually increased over a time period of maximum 5 seconds (settable through an accessible potentiometer) in
order to apply the voltage (and current) to the load smoothly.
Soft starting is perfomed on the first power up and in cases of non firing periods exceeding 5 seconds. If soft start is stopped before soft start
completion, it is assumed that a start was peformed and the non firing period count start as soon as the soft start is stopped.

MODE 6: Soft start + MODE 4 (16x full cycle switching)
This switching mode works on the principle of switching mode 4 (16x full cycles) but soft starting is performed on power up or in case of the

according to the input signal, based on MODE 4 switching principle.

Short Circuit Protection
Protection Co-ordination, Type 1 vs Type 2:
Type 1 protection implies that after a short circuit, the device under test will no longer be in a functioning state. In type 2 co-ordination the
device under test will still be functional after the short circuit. In both cases, however the short circuit has to be interrupted. The fuse
between enclosure and supply shall not open. The door or cover of the enclosure shall not be blown open. There shall be no damage to
conductors or terminals and the conductors shall not separate from terminals. There shall be no breakage or cracking of insulating bases
to the extent that the integrity of the mounting of live parts is impaired. Discharge of parts or any risk of fire shall not occur.
The product variants listed in the table hereunder are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000A Symmetrical
Amperes, 600Volts maximum when protected by fuses. Tests at 100,000Arms were performed with Class J fuses, fast acting; please refer
to the tables below for maximum ratings.Tests with Class J fuses are representative of Class CC fuses.
