PHASE ANGLE ELECTRONIC HEAT SWITCH UP TO 15A QLC X10206 INTRODUCTION These switchable phase angle power regulators are robust and compact units, 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.

On state current 15A Peak single cycle surge @ 10mS 320A Max load at 20ºC ambient (without extra heatsink)10A Max unit operating temperature 65ºC Isolation voltage I2t limiting value for fusing Mains supply ( within 10%) Min operating current Unit storage temperature range 2500V rms 112A2s 230V ac @ 50/60 Hz 200mA -20 to +85ºC FURTHER DIMENSIONS Shaft diameter Bush length Shaft projection from bush Standard cable length 30mm 400mm 6.3mm 5mm FUSING: It is recommended to use semiconductor (fast acting) type fuses or circuit breakers (Semiconductor - MCB) for unit 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 Datasheet for further information). CE MARKING This product family carries a “CE” mark. This phase angle controller needs a suitable remote filter. For information see recommendation section and contact our sales desk.
