Understanding SCR Power Controls
When selecting SCR Power Controls, it is important to have a basic understanding of how
SCRs work. This will help you select the right SCR for your application.
• How SCR Power Controls Work

A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a solid state switching device which can provide fast, infinitely
variable proportional control of electric power. Not only does this give maximum control of your heat
process, but it can extend heater life many times over other control methods. Since the SCR is solid
state, it can cycle on and off over a billion times, if properly used.
• PHASE ANGLE FIRED

controls proportionally turn on a percentage of each power line half cycle. This gives smooth,
infinitely variable application of power to the heaters. Imagine a light dimmer and how it provides
power to a light bulb. This method will provide the most precise control of heaters. Phase angle
fired SCR's will respond the fastest to load changes and provide maximum heater life.
Options including Voltage Limit, Soft Start and Current Limit are only available with Phase Angle
Fired SCR's.
• ZERO VOLTAGE SWITCHED ( ZERO VOLTAGE CROSSING)

controls proportionally turn on and off each full cycle of the power line cycle. By varying the
number of AC power line cycles, the SCR provides power to the heaters. With a variable time base,
the optimum number of cycles turned on/off is achieved. The switching is done at fractions of a
second during the zero voltage crossing of the power line cycles. For IR heating with a fast element,
you would see the elements flickering. On a ceramic heater, or more massive medium wave heater
you can control within very tight tolerances.
• ON/OFF CONTROL
works like a mechanical or mercury relay. When the SCR is turned on it fires full voltage into the
heater until the command signal turns it off.
• The advantages of SCR Controls over other temperature control methods

- Improved response time
- Closer process control
- Extended heater life
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Silent operation
- Reduced peak power consumption
Remember, a heating element is made of wire in most cases. If you use a mechanical relay to turn
on your heater, it will cycle on or off within 30 seconds or longer. The heater will expand and
contract, getting more and more brittle each time. This is called thermal shock. Temperature
overshoot may also occur. Relays also arc, spark and will burn out on a regular basis.

POWER CONTROL SELECTION GUIDE
The SCR power control can deliver electrical power to heaters in several ways: phase angle
fired, zero voltage switched and on/off control.
Phase angle fired controls proportionally turn on a percentage of each power line half cycle.
This gives smooth, infinitely variable application of power to the heaters. It is the most precise
method of control. Phase angle firing can increase heater life up to seven times depending on
heater type. Phase angle firing also allows options such as soft start, voltage limit and current
limit. These options are not available with any other means of control.
Zero voltage switching controls proportionally turn on and off each full cycle of the power line.
By varying the number of AC power line cycles, the SCR provides power to the heaters. With a
variable time base, the optimum number of cycles turned on/off is achieved. This method
produces less RFI line noise than phase angle fired SCRs.
On/Off controls function the same way as a mechanical or mercury relay, but with the
advantage of much faster cycle times.
Chart below shows how to best match SCR power control with typical applications.

APC-TF Series COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
Read this chapter carefully before commissioning the controller

COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE - SAFETY
⊙ CHECKING THE CHARACTERISTICS AND WIRING

① Confirm so that all wiring is suitable to an utility purpose electing normally by final vote.
② Before connection to the load as following ;
- measurement of the load impedance
- measurement of the Insulation between power and earth , between power and control
③ “P.W” potentio meter set to “0”.
④ Operation “STOP” :
- The external potentio meter must be connected to the control terminal block between
terminal no 8 and terminal no 9 and makes open contact.

③ Check that the current in each phase of the controller is equal to 0 in the absence of the
control signal.
Make sure that the r.m.s. current in each phase does not exceed the nominal controller rating
when the set-point is at maximum.

APC-TF Series MAINTENANCE - Fuses
DANGER!
The controller must be maintained by personnel qualified and trained to work
with low voltage electrical equipment in an industrial environment.
The user’s installation must be protected upstream (non high-speed fuses,

thermal or electromagnetic circuit breaker, suitable fuse-isolator) and must
comply with current standards.
FUSES
Protection of auxiliary voltage connection

Protection fuses for both the fan connection (90A nominal current unit) and separate electronics
supply must be installed in each conductor connected to a supply phase.

APC-TF Series MAINTENANCE
Thyristor protection
The thyristors in the APC-TF series controllers are protected in the following way:
· external high speed fuses against over-currents (except for short-wave infrared applications)
· RC snubbers and MOVs (varistors) protect against over-fast voltage variations and transient
over-voltages when the thyristors are not conducting.
*** MOVs (varistors) install : Optional
DANGER!
High-speed fuses are used only for the protection of thyristors against large amplitude
overloads.
Under no circumstances should these high-speed fuses be used to protect the installation.
Attention!
For the use of high-speed fuses in short-wave infrared applications,
Please contact CSMControls.
To protect the thyristors in the APC-TF series, 3 fuses and bus-bar must be used.

APC-TF Series SERVICING
APC-TF Series controllers must be mounted with the heatsink positioned vertically, with no obstructions
above or below which could inhibit or impede airflow.
Attention!
If several units are mounted in the same cabinet, they should be arranged in such a
way that air expelled from one cannot be drawn into the unit located above it.
In order to ensure correct cooling of the unit, users are advised, depending on the degree of
environmental pollution, to regularly clean the heatsink and (for 90A rating units) the protective
fan guard.
DANGER!
Cleaning should only be carried out when the controller supply is disconnected
and at least 15 minutes after it has ceased operating.
Every six months check that the screws of the power and safety earth cables are
correctly tightened.
