CCS Series SCR Power Controllers
Zero-Cross Fired or Phase Angle
Up to 750 A, 1 or 3 Phases
Technology
An SCR power switch differs from other switches in its fast action. Indeed, while a contactor may cycle 3 times per minute, a Cristal Controls SCR may do it approximately once per second. This fast SCR cycle time results in a final temperature closer to the desired set point and therefore reduces energy costs.
Unlike traditional mechanical control, the SCR modulates small increments of power to the load, and eliminates the overshoot and undershoot associated with mechanical control.
Zero-Cross Fired SCR Power Controllers
Cristal Controls Zero-Cross Fired Power Controllers are ideal for the control of purely resistive loads that can accommodate fast, full power, ON-OFF cycling.
When coupled with a time proportioning control, they operate in a series of full ON-OFF cycles known as time proportioning burst firing. The time proportional control accepts many control output signals and converts them into a time proportional signal determining the amount of full ON and full OFF cycles. A smooth power output to the load is therefore produced and the temperature, stabilized.

Difference between SCR and SCR NEMA-4
NEMA-4 SCRs are designed so the heat sink is completely outside the enclosure and all the electronic controls are located inside the enclosure.

Phase Angle SCR Power Controllers
Cristal Controls Phase Angle controls provide smooth proportional output from 0 to 100%.
They are designed to offer low cost high quality SCR phase control. This series offers variable voltage outputs for many applications.
We control load current from 15 A to 750A, at line voltage from 120 to 600 Vac.
A soft start (5 seconds) option ensures a slow rising output voltage to prevent saturation of inductive loads. The 5 seconds soft start is active on powerup and is reset after a power loss. Custom programmation is available. Contact us for more information.
