    SCR Power control for heating

    Waross, I also think that problem is the transformer due to the back that the SCR controller works in the other lines when installed. I am wondering if you have any ideas on how to prove that without replacing the transformer for a test. I dont think that management would be to keen on spending...

    SCR Power control for heating

    itssmoked, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I am sure that the scr unit has auto trip reset, When the fault clears it automatically resets and keeps running. Many ScR controllers have this option. I will send you the manufacturer name and model number on monday as I dont have the...

    SCR Power control for heating

    jraef, The explanation of the snubber circuit being a result of the problem is a good one , but how do you explain that the unit has no problem in another line . I would also like your explanation of why the same symptom effects whatever controller I put in this one line and are not effected in...

    240v schematic diagram

    The wiring required to get the 240 v would be 3wire conductor which is a black red and white wire with a ground. You will need to know the amp rating of what will be conneted to it for you to choose the right gauge wire. The probability will be that you will be using 12 gauge wire. You need to...

    Condern1 I am looking for some tips in troubleshooting a system I am working on consisting of a 3 phase 480 volt line conntected to a 3 phase fired scr power controller with command signals of 4 to 20 ma from a temp controller. The output is sent to the primary of a 110 kva transformer where...
