Residual load current in locked status : <30 mA Heat dissipation Each unit dissipates a maximum of 1.3 W per amp issued. This dissipation induces a rise in the ambient temperature if the units are mounted in cabinets.
Specifications 2.2 PARTIAL LOAD FAILURE DETECTION Partial load failure detection exists as an option for the 451 series and comes as standard for the 461 series. • Partial load failure (PLF) detection principle: comparison of the load current and voltage (451 series) or of the power supply (461 series) to detect an increase in impedance.
Specifications 2.4 INSTALLATION Each module is inserted in a pressed steel baseplate. The baseplate can be mounted: • on an asymmetrical pair of DIN rails • or attached on a vertical wall. Rotation " " 4 o 4.2 holes rod B a s e p l a t e Figure 2.1 Attachment Table 2.2 Model...

455-461 Series 4.2 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The 455 and 461 series units contain an internal feedback loop. The square of the rms load voltage represents the dissipated power for a purely resistive load, the value of which is constant with the working temperature variation. The 455 and 461 series are equipped with compensation of the supply variations of -15% to +10% of the nominal voltage.

455-461 Series In the 455 and 461 series, the thyristors are fired by a trigger pulse train of a maximum of 5 ms. To reduce the cost price of the electronics, it is possible, in most single-phase applications, to send trigger pulses every 10 ms so that the thyristors are polarized directly (anode positive in relation to cathode) or inversely (anode negative).
455-461 Series 4.3 CODING 4.3.1 General The unit coding can be performed with a full code (all the coding fields given below) or with a simplified code (461 series only) without the specification of the drive signal or of the thyristor firing mode.
