575 Vac and currents ranging from 15 through 65 amperes. The SCZF1’s average output voltage is proportional to its input signal. The SCZF1 SSR Series utilizes an isolated base Solid-State-Relay (SSR) Module which contains two SCRs connected back to back. The firing circuit is based on a common integrated circuit.
Outline and mounting: See appropriate drawing in Appendix * Specify with order NOTE: The SCZF1 should be tested or operated with an adequate load since an open output will have line voltage at the load connections. Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2...
