advantages of solid state power controllers, yet at a lower
cost. Watlow’s extensive knowledge in power controller
design has led to the development of a special fast cycle
input card that enables a SSR to operate from a standard
4-20mA instrumentation command signal. Test results
have shown that a zero cross SSR in combination with the
fast cycle card promotes better temperature control and
longer heater life than slow cycle relays. Through a time
proportional cycle rate of one tenth of a second heater life
will be extended.
Both low and high voltage models are available from
24 up to 530VAC. All ac output models include back to back
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) for a more rugged design
than the traditional triac based SSR. The internal design
allows it to handle high currents and the harsh electrical
environments of heavy industry. Watlow also offers a
switched VDC model for dc heating applications.
Watlow can provide all the components necessary
for trouble-free operation. This includes two standard
convenience items: a thermal foil to ensure proper thermal
transfer from the relay to the heat sink and belville washers
that ensure the relay is mounted with sufficient pressure for
good heat transfer. Matched semiconductor fuses and heat
sinks are available to complete the power switching package.
