The Crydom MCBC series of Burst fire Controllers,
incorporate a complete burst Fire logic system and
Solid State Relay in one small industry standard
package. The MCBC uses micropocessor controlled
logic, accepts a wide range input logic power
supply, provides an output load status indicator,
and five modes of analog input control along with
an Enable / Disable control.
With 2 time base periods available, (10 and 20 AC
cycles), the MCBC provides a smooth proportional
control that minimizes electrical noise by utilizing
zero-cross detection and switching, firing only
complete AC cycles.
The MCBC does not require any calibration
adjustment, is optically isolated up to 4000 Vrms,
and is available in load rating up to 90 A and 530 Vac.
In addition, specialized AC Phase Detection Circuitry
allows the MCBC to be connected to only one side of
the load, minimizing installation wiring.
The MCBC series is particulary suited to electrical
heating applications where the electrical noise
generated by typical phase angle controllers can not
be tolerated.
