TRIAC POWER REGULATOR
Product Overview
The Denki Seigyo DTR Series solid state voltage regulators are compact, high-performance thyristor (Triac/SCR) regulators designed for AC load control in industrial automation and power management systems.
Available in single-phase (DTR1 Series) and three-phase (DTR3 Series) variants, these regulators offer precise phase-angle control, proportional voltage regulation, and isolated control signal interfaces.
Each model is engineered for stable operation, long life, and smooth analog signal response (0–10V / 4–20mA control) in resistive or inductive load applications.

Performance & Functional Characteristics
-
Switching Frequency: Typically full‑wave line frequency (50/60 Hz) with triac gating every half‐cycle. The regulator adjusts conduction angle to regulate voltage.
-
Minimum Load Requirement: Some minimum current (e.g., >5 A) may be needed for stable operation (especially inductive loads).
-
Response Time: Rapid change in output when control input changes (milliseconds range) enabling tight process control.
-
Efficiency & Heat Dissipation: Minimal internal losses but triac will dissipate heat; good heatsinking required to maintain junction temperature <125 °C.
-
EMI Considerations: Because phase‑angle switching creates harmonics, noise suppression (e.g., R‑C snubber, mains filter) recommended.
-
Control Input Accuracy: High linearity between control signal (0–10 V) and output voltage (e.g., 0–100% of load power).
-
Indicator / Status: Possibly built‑in LED indicators for power ON, fault, current limit (verify actual features).
Certifications & Compliance
-
CE marked (for European versions) – conformity with EMC and Low Voltage Directive.
-
RoHS compliant (lead‐free components) (check variant).
-
Designed in accordance with IEC 60947 series for power switching devices (verify).
-
For use within industrial control panels conforming to local safety standards (e.g., IEC or IS in India).
Installation & Maintenance Notes
-
Mount the regulator vertically on flat metal surface; ensure proper air clearance to allow convection.
-
Provide an adequately dimensioned heatsink or fan if ambient >40 °C or if current continuously near maximum.
-
Use correct size cables and terminations for the 60 A rating; ensure adequate earthing.
-
Avoid mounting near high vibration, corrosive fumes, or extreme ambient conditions unless variant rated for that.
-
Inspect periodically: check terminal torque, cooling path free of dust, and verify indicator LEDs.
-
Have spare fuses or over‑current protection devices appropriate for the load and regulator rating.
Typical Applications
-
Thermal process control: heaters in ovens, furnaces, laminators.
-
Motor speed or power modulation (when used with resistive or lightly inductive loads).
-
Lighting control in industrial/high‑bay systems (with compatible load).
-
Any application demanding smooth AC power regulation and minimal flicker or step change in output.
