The RPC series proportional controllers
provide a cost effective method of controlling power in many different applications such as heaters, universal
motors or incandescent lamps. A customer provided potentiometer is all that
is required for control. All modules are
supplied with KS100 protective cover.
INPUT
Resistor, Variable [Ohms] ➃
GENERAL
➀ All parameters at 25˚C unless otherwise specified.
➁ Off-State dv/dt test method per EIA/NARM standard RS-443, paragraph 13.11.1
➂ Heat sinking required, for derating curves see page 2.
➃ Potentiometer should be selected with regards to line voltage isolation.
WARNIN
Control to load is not isolated, excercise care in handling the
RPC products to avoid the risk of electric shock.
