  • Page 19 Continued from the previous page.  Constant current control This is the function used to keep the output current constant in proportion to the input signal. This function is effective when a heater with large resistance changes caused by temperature variations is used (such as tantalum, superkanthal, tungsten, platinum, or molybdenum).
  • Page 20 7.9 Heater Break Alarm Function The Heater break alarm monitors the current flowing through the load by a dedicated current transformer (CT). The THV compares the measured value with the set values, and detects a fault in the heating or cooling circuit. In addition, there are several types of Heater break alarms depending on control methods and applications of these Heater break alarms.
  • Page 21  How alarm is checked If the alarm occurs, the relevant error number is shown on the display unit. Therefore in this case, check the alarm contents. Error number Description E.1. 2. 8. Heater break alarm 1 Thyristor break-down Error display Heater break alarm 2 (heater deterioration) For the Error display, refer to the 8.
  • Page 22 7.9.3 Zero-cross control The following usage is available in Zero-cross control. (Refer to  Application) Heater break alarm 1 set value: The alarm can be output when a heater break occurs by setting the Heater break alarm set value. Heater break alarm 2 set value: This alarm set value can be used as an auxiliary alarm. For example, it can be used as a Heater deterioration alarm if set to any value slightly larger than the Heater break alarm set value to output the alarm before a Heater break alarm occurs when the load current decreases due to heater deterioration, etc.
  • Page 23 7.10 Current Limiter Function This is the function of limiting a measured current value to a value not exceeding the preset current limit value. A current value is measured for each constant cycle and then the maximum phase angle not exceeding the Current limit value is computed from the above current value thus measured.
  • Page 24 7.12 Protection Function for Control of Primary Side of a Transformer If momentary power failure occurs during execution of the control of primary side of a transformer, inrush current is generated. Protection function for control of primary side of a transformer is to protect the thyristor from the inrush current. With this protection function enabled, when momentary power failure occurs, the instrument determines that the secondary side of a transformer was disconnected and suppresses the output.
  • Page 25  Display in case of break of secondary side of a transformer When the signal level goes below the determination set value in case of a break on the secondary side of the transformer, the displayed value flashes. (Parameters of input signal monitor 1 and phase angle ratio monitor flash) When the instrument is automatically released from the break (momentary power failure), the display stops flashing and remains lit.
