PPI - Thyristor controllers designed for the control of resistive loads

Manufactured in the UK by Power Products International (PPI), Spectral 3
phase thyristor controllers are designed for the control of resistive loads
in furnaces and HVAC heater batteries from a BMS control system.
Standard units accept an input signal of 0-10V and can be either self, or
line powered. Available in 12kW and 18kW they are DIN Rail mountable.
Utilisation of the burst-pulse control principle means that power is
SWITCHed to the load only in multiples of complete mains cycles, thus
keeping supply disturbances and electrical noise to a minimum. For example,
with a control input signal of 5VDC and with a 50% power demand the unit
will switch on for 0.4 seconds and off for a similar period. A pro rata
power output would apply to other input voltages, says the company.
