Single 50Hz cycle power switching.
EUROTHERM's range of power switching modules is able to switch single cycles of 50Hz mains power, to provide extremely accurate control for critical application.
Eurotherm’s power switching modules.
The TE10A uses zero voltage switching (synchronised to the line) ensuring noise free operation.
Applications utilising short wave infrared (SWIR) lamps can be controlled with reduced flicker using the TE10A. The module is available in various configurations for any load type, from resistive to inductive, including transformer loads (using phase angle firing).
The TE10A with noiseless zero voltage switching can be set for single cycle firing, advanced single cycle firing, allowing half a cycle to be switched, or fast cycling, using eight cycles on/off.
Using the TE10A with PID controllers allows for improved control of fast acting processes, as well as more efficiently heating and cooling in general.
The compact DIN rail or panel mounting TE10A, available in 16, 25, 40 and 50A ranges is provided with an integral heatsink allowing for quick and easy installation.
Versions are available for voltages from 100V up to 500V. For versions with the current limiting option fitted, a simple potentiometer is available on the front panel for easy setting. LED indication of firing is provided for operator confirmation of operation.
Designed for use in real world industrial applications, for protection against surges and overload, robust thyristors are utilised in-place of triacs with extra MOV and RC protection.
Designed to be over-specified, the TE10A is fully rated to its design maximum operating temperature of 45°C, with derating up to 60°C also available.
Unlike electromechanical relays, the TE10A is solid state, and thus has no moving parts. It thus provides completely silent operation and never wears out, providing trouble-free operation for the life of the project.
As phase angle firing allows control of the entire ac waveform, it can provide much greater and tighter process control for critical heating applications than a solid state relay using logic firing which can only control a single ac cycle at best.
The TE10A can switch large power loads much faster than a logic firing solid state relay, and thousands of times faster than electromechanical relays.
All units are manufactured within ISO9001 certified production environments, and are designed to comply with all relevant international standards (including CE in Europe and UL in Canada and the USA), allowing users to export machines containing the TE10A throughout the world.
