3. TECHNICAL DATA
3.1 Introduction
Solcons’ Thyristor based Power System (TPS) is a heavy duty fully digital, Zero-crossing, Phase Control or
Phase Control-Power, three phase control power unit for all types of Resistive/Inductive loads (temperature
control of heaters, etc.).
Providing a wide range 8-1500A, 230-1000V, 50/60Hz, it can be installed in a variety of heating systems.
Control of output voltage can be done by input signal of 0-10VDC, 4-20mA, 0-20mA, by a potentiometer
(Optional) or via communication (Optional) for precision temperature control.
A special optional digital synchronization system enables load sharing and prevents excessive loading in multi
controller applications.
Fully programmable with 9 protection functions, including “Load Unbalance” alarm to detect a faulty element,
even in parallel connected element system and “Under power level” alarm to detect faulty element in case the
system is designed to work unbalanced.
Two line, 16 character LCD display is used for the TPS programming, actual values, statistical & maintenance
data.
Options:
- Potentiometer input for control. (Without the need for external power supply)
- Multi TPS synchronization system for load shedding
- RS-485 communication for TPS programming, remote data readings and controlling.
- Analogue output PCB (4-20mA, 0-20mA or 0-10V).

3.3 TPS Selection
Select the TPS according to LOAD RATED CURRENT(FLA) - as indicated on its nameplate.
Note:
TPS withdrawn current by the load must not exceed TPS RATED CURRENT in each and every phase of the
TPS!
