The SCR19 Series power controllers are designed to proportion electric power to resistive loads only, such as ovens, furnaces, heat sealers, etc. The controllers consist of power semi-conductors (SCRs), properlysized heat sinks, trigger circuitry, and fuses supplied on panels for surface mounting. _(_ _**Note:** They are not designed to drive transformers or any inductive load.)_
The power controller accepts a 4 to 20 mAdc output from a temperature controller or can be supplied with manual option using a remote potentiometer.
## **Operation**
The SCR19 Series controllers offers 2 methods of proportional control— 0-voltage-switched and phaseangled fired. With the 0 voltage switching mode, the controller switches on complete cycles of the AC supply voltage. The trigger circuit

is designed to turn on the SCRs as close as possible to the point where the AC sine wave crosses through zero. In effect, the line voltage is turned on and off and applied to the heaters in whole cycles. With an input of 4 to 20 mA, the output will be off below 4 mA and full on at 20 mA. Proportioning action is obtained by varying the number of cycles on to the number of cycles off. The output will vary from one cycle on and 9 cycles off at low input, to all cycles on at maximum input. This output is integrated by the heaters which produce a smoothly proportioning heat output that varies directly with the input signal. With the phaseangle-fired mode, the power to the load is controlled by governing the point of turn-on (firing) of each half cycle of the full AC sine wave.
- U Unique circuitry in the 3-phase units allows any phase connection—phases cannot be incorrectly wired resulting in partial output power on or off
- U Optical coupler ensures the elimination of ground loops, highvoltage potentials, or damage to drive controller of the SCR power controller
- U Completely solid-state, SCR19 Series SCRs have no moving parts to wear out. They are as effective as new, even after 100,000,000 operations.
- U SCR19 Series SCRs offer smooth, rapid, proportional heating action. SCR control proportions only the power required to maintain exact temperature.
- U SCR19 Series SCRs eliminate high/low cycling and, because the temperature of the heating element is constant, thermal shock is eliminated. Heater life may be increased by up to 7 times

## **Zero-Voltage Switching**
Power is controlled by governing the percentage of complete sine waves to the load. The point of turn on in the sine wave is at (or very near) zero voltage, thus no RFI is generated. SCR19 Series units feature an infinitely variable time base. They provide the ultimate resolution in power proportioning to the load. Also, because there are no time base adjustments to make,

0-voltage-switched SCR power controller with infinitely variable time base provides maximum closeness in temperature regulation by offering higher power resolution than fixed time base units, i.e., 20 cycle fixed =[1] ⁄20 = 5% power change minimum step change. Infinitely variable time base units also produce less power line disturbances.
they are easy to use. The time base is infinitely and automatically adjusted while the SCR Power Controller is operating from a minimum 0.2 second time base at half power output to a maximum 2 second time base at the 5% and 95% power outputs. See graphical representation below. Power to load = ratio of cycles absent to cycles present in any number of total cycles. An SCR19 Series

## **Phase-Angled Fired**
Power to load is controlled by governing the point of turn on (firing) of each half cycle of the full AC sine wave (see example). After triggering, the remainder of the AC cycle is applied to the load. Phase-anglefired controllers are recommended when controlling temperatures of low-mass heating elements that require high switching speeds, such
as tungsten elements, quartz lamps, hot wires and other loads requiring high inrush currents.
_(_ _**Note:** Some RFI can be generated from the phase angle units.)_
A soft-start timing circuit is available that provides ramp to peak voltage to limit the power to the load at startup. Soft start action is required for loads having high current, turn-on characteristics, and slowly
changes the input signal from 4 to 20 mA when full output is required. It is selectable from 9, 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds. A voltage limit option is also available which “clamps” output power to a level lower than supply power. The output power is adjustable from approximately 20% to full output.
