Overview, Chapter 1 Watlow Power Series 1.1
Chapter One
Overview
Introduction
The Power Series is a state-of-the-art microprocessor-based Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) power controller intended for controlling industrial heaters. This product is based on one package with several configurations that include single phase, three phase, and single phase-multizone capabilities. Each package configuration has a specific current rating depending on the number of phases switched. The switching capabilities include 65 to 250A rms at 50°C from 24 to 600V~ depending on the configuration or model number selected. See page 1.2 for additional information on the Power Series configuration options.

Single Phase
This configuration can be purchased with any or all the features available on the Power Series. The only limitations are the features selected by the customer upon purchase. It has the highest current rating of all configurations since it is only switching one phase of the ac line. It is intended for resistive heaters, but can also be used on transformer connected loads in the phase angle firing mode.
Three Phase, Two-Leg Configuration
This configuration is intended for zero cross firing into a stable resistive heater, i.e., nichrome element. Typically, a three phase, three-wire delta or ungrounded wye/star con­nected heater is most often used where only two of the three V~ line phases are switched. The third phase is a direct connection through a bussbar on board the Power Series and is controlled by the previous two phases. For this reason, a two-leg configuration should not be used for three phase grounded wye/star connected heaters. (For heaters that are required to be three phase grounded wye/star connected, see “Three Phase, Three-Leg Configuration” section below.)
Because this configuration does not allow phase angle firing, it should not be used on transformer coupled heaters and less stable resistance heaters such as silicon carbide, molybdenum disilicide, carbon graphite, or tungsten lamp heaters. This may cause premature heater failure or nuisance fuse blowing.
Heater current monitoring and kVA options are available with a three phase, two-leg config­uration via the heater diagnostics option. Phase angle firing, including current limiting and heater bakeout, is not available.
Three Phase, Three-Leg Configuration
There are two Power Series configurations that include six SCR control. All features are available in these configurations.
The three-leg version is intended for phase angle firing into a transformer connected load or direct connection to heating that requires soft start and/or current limiting.
The four-wire configuration is intended for zero cross firing into a four-wire wye connected nichrome/resistive heater.
Single Phase, Multizone Configuration
This configuration is available in two and three single phase zones. Back-to-back SCRs are used and all of the features of a single phase unit are available. (Note that there is only one alarm relay and all zones in the controller must use the same control method.) This configu­ration is intended for applications with multiple command signals from independent control zones. The multizone platform offers reduced panel space compared to using multiple single phase power controllers.
Heater Diagnostics
Heater diagnostics is a key feature of the Power Series SCR power controller. Heater diagnostics may include all or only some of the features that require heater current monitoring, depending on the model selected. Heater current monitoring is only available with heater diagnostics installed on the controller. The features dependent on heater cur­rent monitoring are heater bakeout, current limiting, heater current and kVA monitoring, retransmit, and heater monitoring alarms such as open heater, heater out of tolerance, load balance, and shorted SCR detection/error. Heater diagnostics must also be installed if you need phase angle control with current limit.

Installation
Installation, Chapter 2 Watlow Power Series 2.1
2
The following two chapters will explain how to install the Power Series controller. Watlow power controllers are thoroughly tested before leaving the factory, so the Power Series controller is ready to install when you receive it.
Chapters 2 and 3 describe the steps required to install the Power Series controller. Refer to Chapter 2 for mounting information and Chapter 3 for input, power, and load wiring of the Power Series.
Before beginning installation, read through these chapters to gain an under­standing of the entire installation. Consider the installation carefully. Plan the power, load, and input signal wiring before mounting the Power Series. Also consider the cabinet space, controller dimensions, wire bending radius, and air­flow. Use good wiring practices to minimize electrical noise problems.
WARNING:
To avoid potential electric shock and other hazards, all mounting and wiring for the Power Series must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC) and other locally applicable codes.
Power Series Wire Bending Radius at Base Current and Ambient Temperature Rating and Replacement Semiconductor Fuses
Minimum recommended wire sizes are based on the NEC 30°C ambient with not more than three current carrying conductors in raceway or cable, while also considering the Power Series 50°C enclosure temperature and semiconductor fuse rating. Use copper conductors only.
The terminal lug wire range for all Power Series amperages is 350 MCM to 6 AWG. The recommended terminal torque is 180 in.-lbs. (20 Nm.). Refer to page
3.1 for torque guidelines.
NOTE: Ground must be wired with the same size wire as line and load connections to a ground of sufficient current carrying capacity.
NOTE: Integral semicon­ductor fuses do not qualify as branch circuit protection.

Mounting the Power Series Controller

NOTE: The Power Series controller must be mounted vertically. When multiple units are used in one cabinet, it is best that they are mounted side-by-side when possible. If they are mounted one above the other, adequate spacing and airflow must be provided. See Enclosure Guidelines on page 2.3.
1. Determine the panel location for mounting the Power Series controller and punch or drill holes for the
4 mounting screws per the drawing below. The mounting plate can be used as a template.
2. Attach the Power Series mounting plate using 4 screws (customer supplied, #10 screw minimum, 1/4 inch screw maximum).
3. Align the heads of the shoulder screws on the back of the Power Series heat sink with the key slots on the mounting plate. Push the unit in, and then down until it snaps into place. Mounting is complete.

Enclosure Guidelines
The Power Series must be mounted in a suitable electrical enclosure. It must have adequate wire bending space and cooling. The maximum ambient temperature in the enclosure must not exceed 50°C (122°F) for name plate rating. For other output ratings and enclosure ambient temperatures, see output rating curves on pages 2.5 and 2.6.
To maintain the proper cooling, the enclosure must be large enough to dissipate the heat generated by the Power Series, or there must be some form of active cooling.
1. Air circulation — fans bring air into the bottom of the enclosure and louver plates to allow the air to exit the top of the enclosure. Filters are not recommended as they can become plugged and block air flow. To maintain 80 percent of the CFM of a fan, the outlet must be four times the area of the fan inlet. Ensure that each Power Series is within an unobstructed airstream.
2. Vortex coolers operate on compressed air and provide good cooling on a sealed enclosure, but are noisy and consume a lot of air.
3. Cabinet air conditioners work well on sealed enclosures.
4. Heat pipe coolers work well on sealed enclosures, but do not provide as much cooling as vortex coolers or air conditioners.
To determine how much cooling is required:
1. Determine the amperage load on the Power Series. Multiply the amperage by
1.2 and then by the number of phases controlled. This is the output power dissipated by the SCRs in watts. Add the watts dissipated by the controller’s power supply (21W) and multiply the total power in watts by 3.41 to get BTUs per hour. Vortex coolers, heat pipe coolers, and air conditioner cooling are rated in BTUs removed.
2. Add up the watts generated by other electronics in the enclosure and
multiply by 3.41 to get BTUs per hour.
3. Add up the total BTUs inside the enclosure and pick a cooling device that will
remove that amount of BTUs.
4. For fan cooled enclosures, enclosure and fan manufacturers usually have
free software programs and application notes to help size the fans for enclosures. If necessary, contact the Application Engineers at Watlow Controls for assistance.
Harsh Environment
The Power Series meets standards UL508, Pollution degree 3 for safety which states: “Conductive pollution occurs or non-conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is to be expected.” However, Watlow recommends that the Power Series be used in a clean, dry environment to ensure long-term reliability.
2.4 Watlow Power Series Installation, Chapter 2
Removing the Power Series Controller
1. To release the Power Series controller from the mounting plate, press in on
the release tab at the top of the mounting plate.
2. When the release tab is in, push up on the controller from the bottom to
release it from the mounting plate. Beware of sharp edges on the heat
sink when you push upward. This will take some force!

Maintaining the Power Series

Cleaning: The heatsink fins must be kept clean for proper cooling and the
printed circuit board should be free of conductive residue condensation.
Calibration: Not normally necessary. See pages 6.15-6.16 for data restore
and backup.
Retorquing: See page 3.1 for torque guidelines.
Software backup and refresh: Not necessary; see page A.7, Power Series
Backup.
NOTE: All Power Series controllers have been 100 percent tested before shipment. The records of these tests are on file for recall if necessary.
Figure 2.4 — Removing the controller.

WARNING: To avoid damage to
property and equipment, and/or injury or loss of life, use National Electric Code (NEC) standard wiring practices to install and operate the Power Series. Failure to do so could result in damage, and/or injury or death.
NOTE: Torque and wire strip
guidelines:
Connections 1 thru 6, and ground lug
Strip wire 1-1/8 in. (30mm). Torque to 180 in.-lbs. (20 Nm).
Hold torque for 30 seconds to allow for wiring settling and cold flow. Re-torque after 48 hours.
All load connections should be re-torqued every 3-6 months.
çCAUTION: Figure 3.4a shows the
Watlow-recommended output wiring using the internal bussbar as a return current path and with ref. 2 not connected. Should a user choose a non-recommended wiring scheme, then ref. 2 or the internal bussbar must be connected to the appropriate line or neutral. Failure to follow these guidelines could cause damage to the Power Series.
çCAUTION: Figure 3.4b shows the
Watlow-recommended output wiring using the internal bussbar as a return current path and with ref. 1 and 3 not connected. Should a user choose a non-recommended wiring scheme, then ref. 1 or ref. 3 or the internal bussbar must be connected to the appropriate line. Failure to follow these guidelines could cause damage to the Power Series.

WARNING: To avoid damage to
property and equipment, and/or injury or loss of life, use National Electric Code (NEC) standard wiring practices to install and operate the Power Series. Failure to do so could result in damage, and/or injury or death.
ç
WARNING: Install high or low
temperature limit control protection in systems where an over temperature fault condition could present a fire hazard or other hazard. Failure to install temperature limit control protection where a potential hazard exists could result in damage to equipment, property and injury to personnel.
NOTE: For reference connections
1 to 3, use QC 0.250 in. wide and 0.032 in. thick compatible connection which is fully insulated with nylon and has a metal grip ring.
For 14-16 AWG: Molex/ETC AA-5261; 3M MNG14­250DFIX C-54-503X or equivalent.
**NOTE: Models PC8 and PC9 control legs are isolated so that they may be wired from phase-to-phase inside delta or phase-to-
neutral, independent of how the other legs are wired.
çCAUTION: Do not connect ref.
connections with PC3 models. Failure to follow this guideline could cause damage to the Power Series.
