Phase Control
The Power-Tronics PC300B Phase control
is a self-contained complete Phase control
designed for continuous operation at up to
210vdc at 30Adc!
The PC300B is uniquely designed to sit in
a compact footprint while being passively
convection cooled for a long service life.
Because of its unique modular design, the
PC300B minimizes downtime should a
repair ever be necessary! All serviceable
parts are easily removable without the
need to remove the chassis from the
mounting cabinet or tray. The compact
design allows a wide variety of installation
methods, including installations where
space is at a premium.
Over 30 years of field use and design
refinement makes the PC300B a time-
proven design, utilizing high-reliability
components, and a unique modular design
to simplify repair. The PC300B is
designed to provide a lifetime of service
and is specifically built to minimize failures
and potential downtime!
The PCMG-B control module includes an
internal 0-10VDC or 4-20mA interface
module to allow a wide variety of VAR, PF,
or other PLC controls to remotely control
the unit. An optional motorized
potentiometer allows remote operation by
dry contact switching or older pulsed-DC
control schemes.
The PC300B Phase control is the latest
upgrade to the PC300B series of phase
controls.
