Potentiometer-activated solid-state contactors
Power-IO has a new family of potentiometer-activated solid-state contactors.
With a high speed cycling capability of twice a second and a setpoint resolution of 8.3ms, these contactors offer accurate performance while dramatically increasing the life of the heater by reducing thermal stress and fatigue.
The contactors include finger-safe caged terminals, an integral heatsink optimised for high-density applications, and a universal mounting bracket for either DIN rail or bolt-on installations.
There are no time consuming setup requirements - the installer just attaches the wires.
The contactors are available as single-phase models of up to 25 or 40A and three-phase units with up to 25 or 35A per leg.
