  • Page 38: Control Operation

    CONTROL OPERATION TE200A controllers include an internal control loop. The control algorithm of the TE200A series takes into account the value of the r.m.s. load voltage squared. The square of the r.m.s. load voltage represents the power dissipated in a purely resistive load whose value is constant with temperature.

  • Page 41: Checking The Characteristics

    If three identical loads are configured in closed delta, the current of each phase of the power controller is √ 3 times greater than the current in each branch of the load. Supply voltage The nominal value of the TE200A voltage must be greater than or equal to the line-to-line voltage of the supply used. Warning! In order for the control algorithm to function correctly, the nominal unit voltage rating must be as close as possible to the supply voltage.
  • Page 42: Powering Up The Controller

    Two-phase control of three-phase loads POWERING UP THE CONTROLLER TE200A series controllers are ready to operate correctly immediately after installation and wiring in accordance with this user manual. After checking that the nominal parameters of the controller (voltage, current, input signal) are compatible with those of the installation, apply volts to the controller.

  • Page 44: Fuses

    FUSES Thyristor protection Thyristors in the TE200A series controllers are protected in the following way: • by external high speed fuses against overcurrents (except for short-wave infrared applications); these fuses must be ordered separately; • by RC snubbers and internal MOVs (varistors) which protect against over-fast voltage variations and transient overvoltages when the thyristors are not conducting.
  • Page 45 Two-phase control of three-phase loads MAINTENANCE To protect the thyristors in the TE200A, depending on the wiring, the following combinations may be used: • Two ‘single-phase fuse and fuseholder’ assemblies installed in the controlled phases or • One ‘three-phase fuse and fuseholder assembly’ installed between the TE200A controller and the line protection and mains circuit breaker, in this instance it is possible to install a solid link in the direct phase instead of a fuse,.
