ETC QLC-R

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.

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. (See Declaration of Conformity).
