3-phase solid state relays with integrated heatsink
Benets
• Panel space savings. Concentrated power; the RGC
3-phase switching range can handle up to 65 AAC per
pole (or 75 AAC for 2-pole switching) in a 70 mm wide
footprint.
• Long lifetime. Wire bonding technology reduces thermal
and mechanical stresses of the output chips resulting in a
larger number of possible operational cycles compared to
other assembly technologies.
• Low machine downtime. Integrated overvoltage
protection prevents the solid state relay from breaking
down due to uncontrolled transients that may occur on
the lines.
• Ease of use. The RGC2A and RGC3A are ready to
use solutions provided with integrated heatsink thus
eliminating the need for the user to calculate the size of
Description
This product is intended to replace mechanical
contactors especially when switching is frequent. The
smallest product width in the RGC2, RGC3 range is
54 mm (3xDIN) and goes up to 70 mm. 2-pole and
3-pole switching options are available.
Apart from resistive and slightly inductive loads, the
RGC is certied for motor switching with associated
motor ratings. A green LED gives indication of control
voltage presence. Fan operation is controlled for the
versions which have an integrated fan.
heatsink needed for adequate thermal dissipation.
• Fast wiring. Power connections for models rated ≥30 A
are equipped with terminals that can handle cables up to
25 mm2 / AWG3 cables.
• Integrated monitoring for timely detection of
malfunctions. Optional feature on the 3-phase RGC
series that enables detection of mains loss, over
temperature and solid state relay or load malfunction.
• Accommodates UL508A requirements for Industrial
Control Panels. The RGC 3-phase range is certied as a
listed product. All models carry a 100 kArms Short Circuit
Current Rating.

Note:
• Control input lines must be installed together to maintain products’ susceptability 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. 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, RGC..A..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 or between conductors and ground is 1500 VA or less.
* For conformance to EN/IEC 61000-6-4, an external capacitor class X1, 220 nF, 275 VAC is to be connected across the input

(SSR) status. The fault conditions that can be detected with the RGC..M include:
- Mains loss
- Load loss
- SSR open circuit
- SSR short circuit
- SSR over temperature
An external supply, 24 VDC or 90-250 VAC, selectable through part no. conguration, is required for the operation of the
RGC..M models. In the case of a fault condition, an EMR alarm output is available through terminals 11, 12, 14 for remote
indication. Alarm visual indication is provided by a ashing red LED. The ash rate of the red LED gives an indication of the
type of alarm condition detected.
The RGC..M is also equipped with an auxiliary output which operates in synchronisation with the output of the SSR. This
electronic auxiliary output with normally open or normally closed user selectable contacts is available through terminals 21,
22, 24. A yellow LED gives indication of the SSR output status.
Mains Loss:
The mains loss alarm is issued if the mains voltage is missing from either terminals L1, L2 or L3 for more than 1 second.
This alarm type is indicated by 2 ashes of the red LED. The alarm resets automatically once the mains voltage is restored
and is present on terminals L1, L2 and/or L3 for more than 1 second.

Load Loss:
Detection of load loss is possible both with control voltage ON and control voltage OFF. This alarm is issued in the absence
of a load termination or an open load on terminals T1, T2 and/or T3 exceeding 120 ms. Upon detection of this alarm, the
SSR output is switched OFF. This alarm type is indicated by 3 ashes of the red LED. The fault condition is automatically
restored once the fault is cleared. As long as the load loss condition is present and an alarm is issued accordingly, other
alarm conditions occuring when load loss is still present are ignored. For example, if a mains loss occurs during a load loss
alarm condition, such an alarm is not indicated until the load loss is cleared. Only once the load loss is cleared, the mains
loss alarm is issued if still present.

SSR Short Circuit:
This condition is detected when the SSR output remains ON for more than 250 ms without control voltage. Upon this alarm,
an attempt is made to switch OFF the SSR output but this may not be possible in case of a damaged SSR output(s). Alarm
indication is given by 3 ashes of the red LED (same as the load loss alarm indication). In case of a self recovery, the SSR
will automatically reset.
During an SSR short circuit condition, the SSR output is ON unintentionally. In this case the auxiliary output does not work
in synchronisation with the SSR output.

SSR Open Circuit:
This alarm is issued when either one of the poles or all 3 poles do not switch ON within 250 ms when control voltage is
applied. This alarm type is identied by 4 ashes of the red LED.
Example Condition 1:
Once the open circuit alarm is issued it remains present for 1 minute as long as control voltage is ON. After 1 minute, an
attempt to switch ON the SSR is made if control is ON. In case the open circuit condition is still present the alarm is issued
again. In the case of an open circuit on only 1 pole the load will switch on 2 phases for 250 ms until the open circuit condition on the damaged pole is detected. As soon as the open circuit condition is detected, an alarm is issued and the SSR
output is switched OFF. This cycle will repeat for a count of 10 times as long as the control voltage is present. After 10 times
no further switch re-attempts are made. It is necessary to reset the external supply (Us) to re-attempt a switch ON. In case
failure persists device is to be returned to factory.
Example Condition 2:
Once the open circuit alarm is issued it remains present for 1 minute as long as control voltage is ON. If during this period
the control voltage is switched OFF, the alarm is automatically cleared and the count indicated in Condition 1 is also set to
0. If control voltage is re-applied and the open circuit condition is detected an alarm is issued accordingly. After 1 minute,
an attempt to switch ON the SSR is made if control is still ON. This will continue for a count of 10 times as long as the control voltage is present. After 10 times no further switch re-attempts are made. It is necessary to reset the external supply
(Us) to re-attempt a switch ON. In case failure persists device is to be returned to factory.

SSR Over Temperature:
The SSR is equipped with internal temperature monitoring to prevent SSR damage in case of overheating conditions. Upon
detection of such a condition the SSR output is switched OFF and an alarm is issued accordingly. This alarm is visually
indicated by the red LED which is fully ON. Once the temperature cools down, the alarm is cleared and if control is still ON
an attempt to re-start the SSR is made.
