These robust, generously rated thyristor units are ideally suited for
applications where voltage and current surges can be expected. These
units can be used to control SWIR loads (current de-rating required).
Easy replacement for mechanical contactors
Mechanical contactors in heating applications may operate three
million times per year. The lifetime of such contactors is typically less
than 3 years, so they need replacing several times during the life of an
industrial machine. Alternatively the TE10S from Eurotherm has no
moving parts and will not wear out. Its wiring is similar to contactors
and it has simple DIN Rail mounting.
Extend the life of your heaters
Tests that heaters can last up to 7 times longer when used with a solid
state relay. Faster on/off cycle times cause less thermal expansion and
contraction of the heaters and therefore reduce breakage due to
fatigue and thermo-mechanical stress. Your savings include the cost of
the heaters, installation costs, scrap reduction and lost production.
Tough enough for infrared applications
The TE10S uses two thyristors in reverse parallel – that can withstand
fast voltage and current changes and momentary over-current. The
TE10S is tough enough to handle the current surges that arise when
you burst fire short-wave infrared elements. |
