FCS1*

The single-phase FCS units are electronic voltage regulators that use the phase-control principle to regulate the output voltage supplied to the load, according to a control signal input.

The controllers are used to control asynchronous motors, such as fans, pumps, mixers, stirrers, etc. By applying a 0 to 10 Vdc control signal, the effective voltage provided to the load varies from 0 to 230 Vac.

The board also features, at the terminal marked +V, a non-stabilised power source, 20Vdc 40 mA, which can be used to create a manual control signal using a 10 kOhm potentiometer. The controllers are protected against short-circuits by a fuse on the outside of the board, for easy access and, where necessary, replacement.

MCHRTF*

The MCHRTF series electronic devices are single-phase voltage controllers that use the principle of phase control to adjust the effective voltage output to the load, based on the α phase of the PWM control signal.

One typical application is the speed control of single-phase condenser fan motors, based on
the pressure or the temperature measured on the heat exchanger.

The MCHRTF controllers have a fuse located on the outside of the board, thus allowing easy
inspection and replacement, where necessary.
