870 Series SCR Control Panel
The 870 Series SCR Control panel is a fully proportional process temperature control panel that utilizes SCR Power Controllers to modulate the entire heater load directly, varying the heater output from 0 to 100% of the total heater KW. Working on a four second time base, the heater will be energized only for the number of AC cycles necessary to produce the exact amount of heat required. The resulting precision control and rapid response make the 870 Series SCR Control Panel the best choice for applications that must accommodate material flow changes and still provide precise temperature control. The panel is completely assembled, pre-wired, tested, and ready for trouble-free installation and operation. Designed for use in industrial environments and outdoor installations.
