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.
