Technical Specification TE10A
Power      
Nominal current at 45°C     16, 25, 40 or 50A (see current derating curve)
Nominal line-to-line voltage   100Vac to 500Vac +10%, -15% (for operating voltage, see product code)
Supply frequency     50 and 60Hz (±2Hz)
Load     Resistive or short-wave infrared elements - use TE10A Burst Firing / Inductive or temperature dependent loads - use TE10A Phase Angle Firing
Power terminal block     Cage terminals for 1.5 to 16 mm2 cables. Tightening torque 1.2Nm
Safety earth     Screw terminal, same cable gauge as power. Tightening torque 2Nm

Control Performance      
Control type     The power controlled in the load is proportional to the setpoint
Linearity     Better than ±2% of the full range
Stability     Automatic compensation for supply variations from ±10% of the nominal voltage. Stability better than ± 2% of the full range with constant resistance
Firing modes: Burst Firing Model   ‘Burst firing’, ‘Single cycle’ or ‘advanced Single cycle’ (which uses a different firing board)
At 50% power the thyristors are:   On for 300ms and Off for 300ms (typical time) in ‘Burst firing’
On for one cycle and Off for one cycle in ‘Single cycle’ and ‘advanced Single cycle’
At 66.7% power the thyristors are:   On for 400ms and Off for 200ms in ‘Burst firing’
On for two cycles and Off for one cycle in ‘Single cycle’
On for one cycle Off for half a cycle in ‘advanced Single cycle’
Thyristor firing at zero voltage   Firing indicated by a green LED
Phase Angle Model   Phase Angle firing varies the thyristors firing angle. Current limit is available as an option on this model
