The SCR19 Series power controllers
are designed to proportion electric
power to resistive loads only, such
as ovens, furnaces, heat sealers,
etc. The controllers consist of power
semi-conductors (SCRs), properlysized heat sinks, trigger circuitry, and
fuses supplied on panels for surface
mounting.

The power controller accepts a

temperature controller or can be
supplied with manual option using

Operation
The SCR19 Series controllers offers
2 methods of proportional control—
0-voltage-switched and phaseangled fired. With the 0 voltage
switching mode, the controller
switches on complete cycles of the
AC supply voltage. The trigger circuit

is designed to turn on the SCRs as
close as possible to the point where
the AC sine wave crosses through
zero. In effect, the line voltage
is turned on and off and applied to
the heaters in whole cycles. With an
input of 4 to 20 mA, the output will be
off below 4 mA and full on at 20 mA.
Proportioning action is obtained by
varying the number of cycles on to
the number of cycles off. The output
will vary from one cycle on and
9 cycles off at low input, to all cycles
on at maximum input. This output is
integrated by the heaters which
produce a smoothly proportioning
heat output that varies directly with
the input signal. With the phaseangle-fired mode, the power to the
load is controlled by governing the
point of turn-on (firing) of each half
cycle of the full AC sine wave.

Completely solid-state, SCR19
Series SCRs have no moving
parts to wear out. They are as
effective as new, even after
100,000,000 operations.
SCR19 Series SCRs offer smooth,
rapid, proportional heating action.

power required to maintain exact
temperature.
SCR19 Series SCRs eliminate
high/low cycling and, because the
temperature of the heating
element is constant, thermal shock
is eliminated. Heater life may be

Zero-Voltage Switching
Power is controlled by governing the
percentage of complete sine waves
to the load. The point of turn on in
the sine wave is at (or very near)
zero voltage, thus no RFI is
generated. SCR19 Series units
feature an infinitely variable time
base. They provide the ultimate
resolution in power proportioning to
the load. Also, because there are
no time base adjustments to make,
they are easy to use. The time base
is infinitely and automatically
adjusted while the SCR Power
Controller is operating from a
minimum 0.2 second time base at
half power output to a maximum
2 second time base at the 5% and
95% power outputs. See graphical

0-voltage-switched SCR power

Phase-Angled Fired
Power to load is controlled by
governing the point of turn on (firing)
of each half cycle of the full AC sine
wave (see example). After triggering,
the remainder of the AC cycle is
applied to the load. Phase-anglefired controllers are recommended
when controlling temperatures of
low-mass heating elements that
require high switching speeds, such

(Note: Some RFI can be generated from the
phase angle units.)
A soft-start timing circuit is available
that provides ramp to peak voltage
to limit the power to the load at
startup. Soft start action is required

It is selectable from 9, 15, 30, 60 or

is also available which “clamps”
output power to a level lower than
supply power. The output power
is adjustable from approximately
20% to full output.
