General

The dimmer modules shall be designed
using advanced, state-of-the-art components
specifically for entertainment lighting.

Physical

The dimmer modules shall be fully plug in
and factory wired. Dimmer modules shall be
of rugged and heavy duty construction
enclosed by a formed aluminum chassis.
Power and signal pins shall be recessed in
a self aligning housing to avoid handling,
storage, and insertion damage. A contoured
handle shall be provided for ease of insertion
and withdrawal.All chassis par ts, except heat
sinks, shall be properly treated, primed and
finished in fine texture, scratch resistant, gray
powder coat paint. Each module shall be
labeled with the manufacturer’s name, cata­log number and rating. Modules constructed
of molded plastic for structural support shall
not be acceptable.Dimmer modules shall be
UL and cUL recognized devices.

Dimmer modules shall be keyed so that
dimmer modules of greater capacity shall
not be interchangeable.

Standard factory modules shall be available
to provide dedicated non-dim circuits not
employing SSR devices.Dual modules shall
be available providing non-dim/dimmer, dim­mer/non-dim and non-dim/non-dim config­urations. Each non-dim shall be provided
with a primary circuit breaker of the appropri­ate rating. Non-dims shall be designed so
they can be used for inductive loads.

Standard factory modules shall be available
to provide hard fired output for use with neon,
cold cathode, and fluorescent loads. Hard
Fired modules shall provide a current source
independent of the load current for the SCR
Gate Drive Signal. Hard fired dimmers shall
function independent of load as a result and
shall drive loads of 1 watt or less.

Standard factory modules shall be available
to provide ground fault circuit interrupting
protection for wet applications.GFI modules
shall be used in-conjunction with shielded
load cables for optimum results.

Electrical

Each dimmer module shall contain one or
two single pole circuit breakers, associated
solid state switching modules, filters, power
and control components.

Dimmer electronics shall be completely solid
state.They shall utilize two silicon controlled
rectifiers in a back-to-back electrical configu­ration.The full load of the circuit is to be
carried and controlled by the silicon con­trolled rectifiers.

Each dimmer shall be protected by a fully
magnetic circuit breaker of the appropriate
current rating and 10,000 AIC surge rating
mounted on the face plate of the dimmer
module so that the trip current is not affected
by ambient or rack temperature.The circuit
breaker shall be rated for tungsten loads
having an inrush rating of no less than 20
times normal current and shall disconnect the
power to the dimmer module before damage
can be done to the dimmer power compo­nents.The circuit breakers shall be rated for
100 percent switching duty applications and
shall be a UL and cUL recognized device.

Filtering

Each dimmer module shall have an integral
inductive filter to reduce the rate of current
rise time resulting from the SCR switching
on.The filter shall limit objectionable har­monics, reduce lamp filament sing and limit
the radio frequency interference on line and
load conductors.

Type (i) dimmers shall have a rise time of not
less than 350 microseconds measured at 90
degrees conduction angle from 10% to 90%
of output wave form with dimmer operating
at maximum load.Voltage rate of rise (slew
rate) must not exceed 420 millivolts per
microsecond in any point of the wave under
full load conditions.

Type (ii) dimmers shall have a rise time of
not less than 500 microseconds measured at
90 degrees conduction angle from 10% to
90% of output wave form with dimmer oper­ating at maximum load.Voltage rate of rise
(slew rate) must not exceed 300 millivolts
per microsecond in any point of the wave
under full load conditions.

Type (iii) dimmers shall have a rise time of
not less than 800 microseconds measured at
90 degrees conduction angle from 10% to
90% of output wave form with dimmer oper­ating at maximum load.Voltage rate of rise
(slew rate) must not exceed 210 millivolts
per microsecond in any point of the wave
under full load conditions.

The use of type i, ii, or iii dimmers shall not
reduce rack density. 2.4kW and 6.0kW mod­ules are available as types i, ii, or iii.12.0kW
modules are available as type i.

Solid State Relay (SSR)

SSR devices shall be encapsulated, epoxy
filled high impact plastic cases with optically
isolated firing circuits, control circuitry, and
two silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs).There
shall be a minimum of 2,500 volts RMS of
isolation between the AC line and the control
lines of the SSR.

The SCR shall be in an industry standard
format that is easily field replaceable without
removing any other electrical or electronic
devices.

Performance

The dimmer shall be capable of “hot patch­ing” cold incandescent loads up to its full
rated capacity without malfunction with the
control signal at full ON.

The dimmer power efficiency shall be at
least 97% at full load with a no load loss of
3V for type (1) dimmers.

without modification, however the listed power rating
will be increased by a factor of 1.09.A 3.3kW dimmer
shall therefore be capable of driving a 3.6kW load.
Dimmer risetimes will be reduced by a factor of
approximately 0.93 when used at the higher voltage.
