These robust thyristor units are ideally suited for applications where
voltage and current surges can be expected. Short wave infrared lamps
for example can be controlled with TE10A using phase angle or
advanced single cycle firing which reduces flicker.
Flexibility The TE10A is controlled by an analogue signal which is selectable for
DC current or voltage. A ‘5 Volts user’ voltage allows local control by a
potentiometer. A plug-in connector avoids any risk of wiring error if
the unit has to be replaced.
The TE10A can be used with non-standard mains (option). Standard
45mm DIN window format allows mounting in a housing with a panel
cut-out or DIN Rail mounting in a cabinet.
Toughness/Reliability TE10A thyristors can withstand momentary
over currents up to 15 times
the nominal rating. This is important when controlling short-wave
infrared elements.
The thyristor breakdown voltage is three times greater than the
nominal operating voltage. Current derating curves as a function of
ambient temperature enable TE10A units to be used up to +60°C. |
