SCR Power Control
General Description
The QPAC Power Controls are a family of solid state controls used for electric
heating applications. A solid state power control provides output power that is
proportional to the input command signal from a temperature control. This
proportional output power helps to produce a closely controlled heater tem-
perature, which saves energy and prolongs heater life by holding heater
elements at a nearly constant temperature.
The QPAC has a modular construction with plug-in features for flexibility. The
three modules of the QPAC are the Power Base, Transformer, and Control
