CD Automation’s online Application
product selector cross-tabulates
different single and three-phase
machine loads from 30 to 2700A for
a comprehensive range of thyristor
power controllers.

The simplicity of the form hides
the complexity of algorithms and
processes, which combine to provide
an optimal load configuration.

Using drop-down menus, an
engineer enters his choice from the
application and element type: normal
resistance elements; variable
resistance with temperature using
elements including molybdenum,
platinum, quartz lamp, and super
Kanthal among others; and
transformer
coupled with
elements from
graphite through
short wave infrared
to inductive
loading.

The next field is
for the number of
phases controlled, followed by fields
for input-control signal, firing mode
and required current (A). The
matching CD Automation thyristor
products are then displayed below
the form.
