QLC PHASE ANGLE ELECTRONIC HEAT SWITCH X10206 UP TO 15A INTRODUCTION The switchable phase angle power regulator is a robust and compact unit, ideal for controlling single phase mains driven loads. The standard QLC units are for 230V supply, with an integral three position and off control switch. The large triac enables the unit to handle high inrush currents with ample safety margin on industrial installations. An adhesive backed silver label and hairline knob are available as optional extras. APPLICATIONS Suitable for quartz lamps, conventional resistive heating elements in series or parallel configurations. Applications including ovens, moulders, dryers and some inductive loads, such as, transformers and motors. FEATURES Large triac for inrush protection. Three position & off control. Single hole fixing. Rugged and compact. Optional knob & dial. RoHS Compliant 2002/95/EC Directive INSTALLATION CONNECTIONS AND DIMENSIONS INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS Triac limiting RMS. On state current 26A Isolation voltage 2500V rms. 2 2 Unit limiting RMS. On state current 15A I t limiting value for fusing 112A s Peak single cycle surge 10mS 320A Mains supply ( within 10%) 230V ac 50/60 Hz Max load at 20C ambient (without extra heatsink) 10A Min operating current 200mA Max unit operating temperature 65C Unit storage temperature range -20 to +85C FURTHER DIMENSIONS Shaft diameter 6.3mm Shaft projection from bush 30mm Bush length 5mm Standard cable length 400mm FUSING It is recommended to use semiconductor (fast acting) type fuses or circuit breakers (Semiconductor-MCB) for protection. On initial switch on some loads may need an increased Factor of Safety (F of S) for Unit and/or Device protection. See SRA Data sheet for further information. CE MARKING This family carries a CE marking. These phase angle controllers need a suitable remote filter. For more information see recommendations section and contact our sales desk.
