The Crydom MCBC series of Burst fire Controls, incorporate a
complete burst Fire logic system and Solid State Relay in one small
industry standard package. The MCBC uses microprocessor
control relay logic, accepts a wide range input logic power supply,
provides an output load status indicator, and five modes of analog
input control along with an Enable / Disable control.
The MCST, MCSP and MCSS series of controls is designed to
provide adjustable surge reducing soft-start and soft-stop control
for any load which would benefit from a gradual application or
shutdown of power, and provide Crydom SSR switching within one
package.
The MCS Control Relays are available with either soft-start, or soft-stop
functions separately, or as a combined soft-start/soft-stop control.
With adjustable ramp times from 100ms to 10 seconds in two
ranges, these controls are ideal for reducing starting current
surges in motors, in preventing saturation when switching
transformers, or in reducing reverse EMF surges when de-
energizing large inductive loads. Incorporating 4000 volt isolation
from input to output, the MCS series allows real time adjustment of
the ramp rates from a remote source using analog voltage or
current control. Once the desired ramp rate is set using the analog
input, a simple digital signal applied to the ON/OFF control input will
operate the control. The MCS is also available with a built-in
potentiometer for use where remote or continuous adjustment is
not needed.
With 2 time base periods available, (10 and 20 AC cycles), the
MCBC provides a smooth proportional control that minimizes
electrical noise by utilizing zero-cross detection and switching,
firing only complete AC cycles.
The MCBC does not require any calibration adjustment, is optically
isolated up to 4000 Vrms, and is available in load rating up to 90 A
and 530 Vac. In addition, specialized AC Phase Detection Circuitry
allows the MCBC to be connected to only one side of the load,
minimizing installation wiring.
The MCBC series is particularly suited to electrical heating
applications where the electrical noise generated by typical phase
angle controller can not be tolerated.
