Temperature power controller SCR – DIN-A-MITE D

The DIN-A-MITE D silicone-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller provides a economical and compact way of controlling power to heating elements. The DIN-A-MITE style D is capable of zero cross switching up to 80 Amps single phase 600VAC @ 50°C ambient. Often for 3 phase circuits three-leg control is not a necessity and two-Leg control can be a better cost-effective option. So, 2 x DIN-A-MITE D SCR can do up to a 57kW 3 Phase 415V heater load using the two-leg control option. Using two-leg control also has the benefit of a reduction of 33% in power losses and less consumption on a cooling system is needed to compensate for this heat build up in a control panel.

The DIN-A-MITE D is completely touch-safe and includes on-board, front-accessible, semiconductor fuses. Options include a current transformer for load current monitoring and a shorted output alarm. Variable time base, 4-20mA process control and VAC/VDC input contactor options are available.
