Sontay launches thyristors range
Published:  01 September, 2005

Sontay has introduced a new range of controllers for air handling unit electric heater battery applications.

The feature-rich RE thyristor range incorporates both DIN rail and panel mounting options for ease of installation.Both styles are compact in size and rated at 60°C to reduce panel size and entilation needs.

The controllers feature self monitoring functions and provide signals to a connected BMS in the event of phase failure, over-heat or fault. Interlocks for airflow proving, fan run on and overheat may be configured and all models feature burst-power firing to minimise electrical noise and RFI disturbance without additional filtering. The DIN rail mount versions provide single phase power

modulation from 1.5 kW up to 6 kW, and three phase heating

regulation from 12 kW to up to 18 kW. Panel mount versions offer

three phase control to suit 36 kW, 54 kW and 86 kW loads.

The larger units feature on-board solid state fuses to protect the

device against mis-wiring or under voltage. The controllers are

supplied with spare fuses to enable installation to be completed,

even after a start-up error.
