In case of a reverse phase conrol the current is switched on immediately after the zero-crossing of the alternating current, and switched off before the next zero-crossing. This takes place exactly in reverse in case of phase control. In most of the "dimmers" made with a triac the load current is "ignited" only after the zero-crossing, and this flows till the next zero-crossing. Both the switching versions are suitable for regulating ohmic loads. If there are phase displacements (as in the case of capacitive or inductive consumers), then there are enormous restrictions - caused by the current or voltage surges that appear. While the phase control is suitable, for instance, for electric motors, capacitive loads mostly lead to a destruction of the dimmer. The essentially more complex switching technology of the reverse phase control, however, is in a position to regulate also capacitive loads, such as dimmable electronic transformers (EVGs) along with ohmic consumers like incandescent lamps or R7s halogen rod lamps. These transformers are preferably used in the low-voltage halogen and LED-lighting technology. Together with a linear 47 k potentiometer (not included in the delivery) a power pf up to maximum 500 W can be adjusted continuously.
This period/full wave power controller mounts on a standard SSR. Suitable for 1 and 3 phase SSRs, power range continuously variable 0 - 100 %. Switches at zero crossing, after full periods. A variable analogue input 0 - 10 V/DC produces a variable pulse/pause ratio. The LED blinks to indicate the pulse/pause ratio.
