Carlo Gavazzi Solid State Relay/Contactor 1-Phase Analog-Switch RGC1P23AA42ET

Carlo Gavazzi Solid State Relay/Contactor 1-Phase Analog-Switch w/Heatsink, Ctrl: 4-20mA, Opr: 85-265VAC, 43A, Box-Clamp Power, Contactor Layout, Option: Tamper Proof Cover.

The RGC1P is a series of solid state contactors (with integrated heatsink) that give the possibility to control output power of 1-phase loads with an analog control input. Input types cover a wide range of current and voltage ranges. Local setting by an external potentiometer is possible. Switching modes, selectable through a front knob, allow phase angle control, full cycle control, advanced full cycle control specific for short wave infrared heaters and soft starting for limiting inrush current of loads having a high temperature coefficient. The output of the RGC1P is protected against over voltages by means of an integrated varistor across the output. Two front LEDs indicate the status of the load and control. Specifications are at a surrounding temperature of 25°C unless otherwise specified.

Applications

Injection moulding, PET stretch blow moulding, thermoforming, electrical ovens, furnaces, climatic chambers, duct heating, air handling units.

Main features

• 1-pole analog switching AC solid state relays.
• Selectable switching mode: phase angle, distributed full cycle(s), advanced full cycle, soft starting.
• Ratings up to 660 VAC and 63 AAC.
• Control inputs: 4-20 mA or 0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V, external potentiometer.

Benefits

• Eliminates the need for analog to digital convertors. The output of the RGC1P can be controlled directly via an analog current or analog voltage signal.
• Inventory reduction. Multifunction controller with the possibility to select amongst a number of switching modes.
• Less maintenance costs. Wire bonding technology reduces thermal and mechanical stresses of the output chips resulting in a larger number of operational cycles compared to other assembly technologies.
• Low machine downtime. Integrated overvoltage protection prevents the solid state relay from breaking down due to uncontrolled transients that may occur on the lines.
• Ease of use. The RGC1P ready to use solution is provided with integrated heatsink thus eliminating the need for the user to calculate the size of heatsink needed for adequate thermal dissipation.
• Fast wiring. Power connections for models rated >30 A are equipped with terminals that can handle cables up to 25 mm2 / AWG3 cables.
• Accommodates UL508A requirements for Industrial Control Panels. The RGC1P is certified as a listed product. All models carry a 100 kArms Short Circuit Current Rating.
