Switching Modes

PHASE ANGLE switching - Mode E


The Phase angle switching mode works in accordance with the phase angle control principle. The power delivered to the load is controlled by
the firing of the thyristors over each half supply cycle. The firing angle varies in relation to the input signal level which determines the output
power to be delivered to the load.

Output with Phase angle switching mode @ 50% input level:

Firing angle

Full cycle switching:


Single full cycle switching - Mode C1
In this switching mode only full cycles are switched. The number of full cycles delivered to the load over a specific time base is determined by
the level of the analog input. The full cycles are DISTRIBUTED over this time base so as to ensure a fast and accurate control of the load. In
mode C1, the switching resolution is 1 full cycle. Hence, @ an input level of 50% the output switching will be 1FC ON, 1FC OFF, @ 25% input
1FC ON, 3FC OFF and @ 75% input 1FC OFF, 3FC ON as shown in figure below.

Output with 1 FC switching mode @ 25% input level:

Output with 1 FC switching mode @ 50% input level:

Output with 1 FC switching mode @ 75% input level:

Output with 1 FC switching mode @ 100% input level:

Burst full cycle switching - Mode C4 and Mode C16


The modes C4 and C16 work on the same principle of the C1 mode and hence a number of full cycles are switched in accordance to the input
level distributed over a specific time base. In the case of mode C4 the lowest resolution is 4 full cycles whilst for mode C16 it is 16 full cycles.
These modes are suitable for loads which have a low thermal inertia.

Output with 4 FC switching mode @ 50% input level:

Output with 16 FC switching mode @ 50% input level:

Switching Modes (continued)

SoFt Start switching:


In this mode the thyristor firing angle is gradually increased in order to apply the voltage (and current) to the load smoothly and thus reduce
the start-up current of loads which have a high cold to hot resistance ratio such as short wave infrared heaters.

Soft start with digital input - Mode S


On power up, the RGC3P60V..S.. performs a soft start as soon as a control input is applied. The ramp time can be set to a maximum of 5
seconds through an onboard potentiometer. After the ramp is completed, full cycles are delivered to the output as long as a control voltage
(between 5 - 10V) is present on terminals A1-A4. Soft start is not performed every time the control input is applied but only in the cases where
firing has been cut off for more than 5 seconds. If for some reason ramping is stopped before ramp completion, a start is assumed to have
been performed and hence the 5 seconds count start once ramping is stopped.

Soft start with analog input - Mode S16


This switching mode is a combination of 2 switching modes described above and hence soft start with mode S and full cycle control with mode
C16. The RGC3P60V..S16 switching mode works on the principle of the mode C16 but on power up soft starting is performed to limit inrush
currents loads which have a low resistance when cold. After the soft start is completed, where ramping time can be set to maximum of 5
seconds through an onboard potentiometer, the mode C16 comes into affect. Full cycles are thus delivered to the load in accorancde to the
input level. Soft starting is performed on power up and in case firing has been cut in the previous 5 seconds. If for some reason ramping is
stopped before ramp completion, a start is assumed to have been performed and hence the 5 seconds count start once ramping is stopped.

Note:
• Control input lines must be installed together to maintain products susceptibility to Radio Frequency Interference.
• Use of AC solid state relays may according to the application and the load current, cause conducted radio interferences. Use of mains filters may be
necessary for cases where the user must meet E.M.C requirements. The capacitor values given inside the filtering specification tables should be taken
only as indications, the filter attenuation will depend on the final application.
• This product has been designed for Class A equipment. ( External filtering may be required, refer to filtering section). Use of this product in domestic
environments may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to employ additional mitigation methods.
• Surge tests on RGC..A models were carried out with the signal line impedence network. In case the line impedance is less than 40Ω,
it is suggested that AC supply is provided through a secondary circuit where the short circuit limit between conductors and ground is 1500VA or less.
• A deviation of one step in the distributed full cycle models and up to 1.5% Full Scale Deviation in phase angle models is considered to be within PC1 criteria.

- Performance Criteria 1 (Performance Criteria A): No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed when the product is operated as intended.
- Performance Criteria 2 (Performance Criteria B): During the test, degredation of performance or partial loss of function is allowed. However, when the test
is complete the product should return operating as intended by itself.
- Performance Criteria 3 (Performance Criteria C): Temporary loss of function is allowed, provided the function can be restored by manual operation of the control.

Mode of Operation
RGC..AA…
The diagram below, Operation Diagram 1, indicates the behaviour of models having input type 'AA' in different operating con-
ditions. The models with this type of input are able to detect abnormal conditions such as Mains Loss and SSR Internal
Fault. The presence of these abnormal conditions is indicated through the green LED which in normal operating conditions
is associated with status of the control input. A flashing sequence of this LED is utilised to distinguish such abnormal con-
ditions. Refer to LED Indications section for further details.

automatically, switch OFF device supply (Us)
and switch back ON, If alarm is still present
return device to factory

RGC..I, RGC..V..
The versions with input type 'I' or 'V' have integrated system monitoring for the detection of system and also SSR faults. An
external supply of 24VDC/AC or 90-250VAC, selectable through part no. configuration, is required for the operation of these
models.

In case of a fault condition, an alarm signal is issued through an EMR. A red LED is also used for visual indication with a spe-
cific flash rate for easy identification of the alarm type. Refer to section LED Indications for further details. Additionally, a yel-
low LED is present on the models with 'I' or 'V' input type which gives an indication of the status of the load. This LED is ON
every time the SSR output, and hence the load, is in the ON state.

System monitoring is identified with suffix 'P' or 'M' at the end of the RGC part no. The following is a description of the dif-
ference between the two suffixes.

Note: Monitoring for system and SSR faults is not active during the soft start function available with models RGC3P60V..S..
and RGC3P60V..S16.

Short Circuit Protection


Protection Co-ordination, Type 1 vs Type 2:

Type 1 protection implies that after a short circuit, the device under test will no longer be in a functioning state. In type 2 co-ordination the
device under test will still be functional after the short circuit. In both cases, however the short circuit has to be interrupted. The fuse
between enclosure and supply shall not open. The door or cover of the enclosure shall not be blown open. There shall be no damage to
conductors or terminals and the conductors shall not separate from terminals. There shall be no breakage or cracking of insulating bases
to the extent that the integrity of the mounting of live parts is impaired. Discharge of parts or any risk of fire shall not occur.

The product variants listed in the table hereunder are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000A Symmetrical
Amperes, 600Volts maximum when protected by fuses. Tests at 100,000Arms were performed with Class J fuses, fast acting; please refer
to the tables below for maximum ratings. Tests with Class J fuses are representative of Class CC fuses.
