905 Series

Power Switch

The 905 Series Power Switch is designed for resistive heating applications. These SCR (triac) controllers fire at zero voltage crossing and are used for connecting resistive loads to line voltage. Firing at zero voltage reduces the radio frequency interference (RFI) from these units.

A master unit (905-M) can directly accept proportional analog signals. It includes a 901-E Multiple Input Logic card mounted on the master for driving the power switch. Additional circuits that are controlled by the same input can be connected to a slave unit (905-S) that accepts the pulse width modulated signal provided by the master.

These units can be used in any connection arrangement or combination of phases without regard to phase order. They can be used in three phase applications, in-line, Delta, or Wye. The 905 series comes in a single phase (one power switch) and three phase (two power switch) version. Various models are rated at currents up to 48 amps and voltages up to 480 volts.
