2 Operating modes
2.1Phase-angle control with soft start and current limiting
In this mode of operation, the power is regulated by altering the phase angle.
This method is suitable for transformer and resistive loads. During the switchon period the phase-angle is gradually advanced by the controller to provide a
soft start. This prevents high surge currents at switch-on.
Current limitingFor loads with an initial (cold) resistance that is significantly lower than the re-
sistance after warming up, such as Kanthal-Super heater elements, it is advisable to make use of current limiting (only with extra code TR or TO).
While current limiting is in operation, the phase angle during soft start remains
constant.
The maximum permissible effective (rms) current can be adjusted on the front
panel, by using the “current limit” trimmer.
v Section 5.3 “Setting the current limit”
Power units 02.0613
Page 14
2 Operating modes
2.2Burst-firing operation, for resistive loads
In this mode of operation, the power is regulated by changing the number of
full-wave cycles of the supply line voltage which are switched on during each
control period. This method is used for purely resistive loads which have a
cold resistance that is roughly the same as the hot resistance.
Since switching only takes place at the zero-crossing points, this mode of
operation produces very little RF-interference.
The internal switch S20 can be used to adjust the duty cycle to suit the system
being controlled.

Soft startFor the first switch-on of the thyristor power unit, or after being switched off by
inhibiting the firing-pulses, after a supply line interruption, or if the setpoint
was switched off for more than 8seconds, there will always be a short phaseangle controlled start (area a in the diagram).
mode of operation.
After this soft start, the controller switches over automatically to burst-firing
operation if the given setpoint is larger than the minimum setpoint + 10% of
the setpoint range (area b in the diagram).
Example:
Setpoint range 2 — 10V
The changeover to burst-firing operation takes place at
2V + 10% of 8V = 2V + 0.8V = 2.8V
After this changeover, the power output is regulated to follow the setpoint input provided.

If the power unit runs into current limiting1 during the phase-angle

2 Operating modes
For transformer loads, the thyristor power unit operates in burst-firing mode
with a cut-back (retarded) phase-angle for the first half-wave. The factory setting is an angle α = 90°. This value can be altered on the front panel over a
range α = 0 — 90°.

3.2Filtering and interference suppression
In order to prevent radio-frequency interference, such as would occur with
phase-angle control, electrical apparatus and systems must have interference
suppression implemented.
The control electronics of the thyristor power units conforms to the EMC Directive EN 61 326.
However, modules such as thyristor power units have no use by themselves,
but only as a component function within a system. For this reason, the load
circuit of the power unit must have suitable interference suppression filters fitted by the system provider.
Specialist companies have appropriate ranges of filters available to deal with
these problems. Such filters are normally supplied as complete modules that
are ready to be connected up.
3.3Installation site and climatic conditions
The installation site should be, as far as possible, free from vibration. Electromagnetic fields, caused by equipment such as motors and transformers,
should be avoided. The ambient temperature at the installation site must be
within the range 0 to 45°C (measured about 100 mm below the unit) and the
relative humidity must be
in dry rooms. The inside of the unit must be kept free from conductive dirt and
corrosive gases.

5.1Adjust control input (full wave)

h Turn the “full wave” trimmer clockwise or counter-clockwise until the green
LED for “full wave” just light up in phase-angle control, and does not light

H
When using a logical control output (e.g. from a single-setpoint
controller) the “full wave” trimmer must be turned fully clockwise.
5.1.2 Input signal attenuator
h Turning the “full wave” trimmer counter-clockwise limits the maximum
power output of the thyristor power unit.
When using the free-running economy circuit, both thyristor power units
must be adjusted as described above.
When using the master-slave economy circuit, the adjustment is only made
on the master power unit.

5.2Setting the base load
A base load can be set, in addition to the analog current input and the potentiometer input. Since these input signals are added together, the input signal
gain must be corrected by adjusting the “full wave” trimmer (7).
For instance, if a heating system is to be operated with a 33% base load, with
the other 66% of the output being regulated by the controller, then the procedure is as follows:
Calculate the reduction factor of the controller signals.
In this example it would be 100% : 66% = 1.5.
Multiply this factor by the intended base load setting.
In this case: 1.5 x 33% = 50%.
The factor 0.5 means that the external potentiometer must be set to 50% of
the full-scale value.
Adjustment:
h Set the potentiometer to the calculated fraction of the full scale (e.g. 50%)
h Apply the maximum current (e.g. 20mA) to the current input
h Turn the “full wave” trimmer clockwise or counter-clockwise until the green
LED for “full wave” just light up in phase-angle control, and does not light
up in burst-firing mode.

5.5Load and part-load failure monitoring
This function is only available with the extra code TR or TO. If there is a

by the part-load failure monitoring.
The signal output is available either as a floating contact (extra code TR) or an
optocoupler (extra code TO). If a part-load fault occurs, the relay drops out or
the collector-emitter of the optocoupler goes high-impedance. The signal output is also produced if there is a blown fuse.
The response threshold can be set by the front-panel trimmer (6) “load fail” to
a value between 20 and 100% of the rated current for the power unit. Partload failure monitoring functions in all operating modes.

6.4Control inputs
The internal switches S1, S2, S 16, S19, S20 can be used to adapt the thyristor power unit to suit the available control signal (controller output signal).
There are separate voltage and current control inputs. The current inputs (+,-)
are designed for a differential current signal, i.e. they can have a common potential that is up to 10V above or below the ground reference potential (⊥).
If the current and voltage inputs are used simultaneously, they have an additive effect. Both analog and logical controller output signals may be used.

Two single-phase units can be used at any time to implement an “economy

The switch settings that are required for this, depending on the type of load
and circuit, can be found in the table.
V
The thyristor power units must always be dimensioned for the
phase-phase voltage, regardless of whether the load is wired in a
star or delta configuration.
It is vital to ensure that the roating electrical field is right-handed,
i.e. clockwise rotation.
Terminal V must be linked to phase L2 on both power units.

6.9.1 Free-running economy circuit (asynchronous switching) for resistive
loads
A free-running economy circuit has the advantage that the average loading of
the supply network is reduced. Both power units operate independently and
regulate the required 3-phase power quite precisely. Even a possible part-load
failure will not necessarily have an effect on the temperature stability of the
control loop.
A subsidiary P control loop is required for both power units.

high positive temperature coefficient TC (mixed operation)”
6.9.2 Master-slave economy circuit (synchronous switching) for resistive and
transformer loads
In the standard version, the master-slave economy circuit operates with a V
control. With extra code TO/TR it is also possible to use a P control and partload regulation. The control electronics of the master unit takes on the actual
power control function, and drives the slave unit in synchronization. This
makes it possible to drive transformer loads.
The combination of the fixed cycle time of the V
configuration makes it possible to achieve good voltage regulation for the individual load resistances, even in the event of a part-load failure.

6.10 Firing-pulse inhibit
Inhibiting the firing pulses is a simple way of switching high powers. In phaseangle control, the thyristor power unit commences with a soft start after firingpulse inhibit has been used. In burst-firing operation with a transformer load,
the power unit first starts up in phase-angle control and then switches over to
burst-firing.
In order to be able to disconnect a system, a contactor or main
switch must be fitted in the supply line circuit!
V
A contact can be wired between Terminals 6 and 7 to shut off the thyristors at
the next zero-crossing point. This external contact can be a make contact or a
break contact, depending on the position of S21.

In the event of a fault, the following points should be observed:
8.1Fault-finding
If faults occur during commissioning, we recommend that you first check the
positions of the internal switches.
v Section 6.3 “Summary of possible settings”
If the fault persists, check the following items:
- Is the supply voltage present for the thyristor power unit?
Check the phase sequence as well.
- Are all other connections also correct?
- Is the controller operating properly?
Check the operation manually, by using an external potentiometer.
