Carlo Gavazzi Solid State Relay/Contactor 3-Phase 2-Pole Zero-Cross w/Heatsink, Ctrl: 5-32VDC, Opr: 600VAC, 3x25A, Screw/Screw, Contactor Layout.
This product is intended to replace mechanical contactors especially when switching is frequent. The smallest product width in the RGC2, RGC3 range is 54mm (3xDIN) and goes up to 70mm. 2-pole and 3-pole switching options are available. Apart from resistive and slightly inductive loads, the RGC is certified for motor switching with associated motor ratings. A green LED gives indication of control voltage presence. Fan operation is controlled for the versions which have an integrated fan. Detection of SSR overheat, mains loss, SSR malfunction and load loss is possible with the RGC..M versions. An EMR alarm output is available for remote signalling. An additional feature with the RGC..M is the electronic auxiliary output. The RGC..M has additional LEDs for load status and alarm status indication.
Application
Plastic injection machines, Extrusion machines, Blow moulding machines, Thermoformers, Dryers, Electrical ovens, Fryers, Shrink tunnels, Air handling units, Sterilisation equipment, Climatic chambers, Ovens and furnaces.
Main features
- 3-phase zero cross switching solid state contactor for 3-pole or 2-pole switching.
- Ratings up to 660 VAC 75 AAC/pole (RGC2A), 65 AAC/pole (RGC3A) @ TA 40°C.
- Optionally integrated monitoring for SSR and load malfunction with alarm output for remote signalling with the RGC..M.
Benefits
- Panel space savings. Concentrated power; the RGC 3-phase switching range can handle up to 65 AAC per pole (or 75 AAC for 2-pole switching) in a 70 mm wide footprint.
- Long lifetime. Wire bonding technology reduces thermal and mechanical stresses of the output chips resulting in a larger number of possible 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 RGC2A and RGC3A are ready to use solutions 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.
- Integrated monitoring for timely detection of malfunctions. Optional feature on the 3-phase RGC series that enables detection of mains loss, over temperature and solid state relay or load malfunction.
- Accommodates UL508A requirements for Industrial Control Panels. The RGC 3-phase range is certified as a listed product. All models carry a 100 kArms Short Circuit Current Rating.
