Thyro-A+ Power Controller

Active

Precise, digital SCR power controller that supports currents up to 650 A and voltages up to 500 V

The Thyro-A+ is Advanced Energy’s latest addition to its proven Thyro-Family of digital SCR power controller. The new Thyro-A+ has a performance range with rated currents from 16 A up to 650 A and rated voltages from 230 V up to 500 V. The optional Thyro-A+ display enables an intuitive operation of the SCR power controller. With an optional SD card, data and parameter settings can easily be loaded and saved to the power controller. Easy handling is supported by the EasyStart feature for easy Thyro-A+ commissioning.

Display or Thyro-Tool Pro software to easily visualize, commission or set parameters
Increase performance control accuracy to maximize end process repeatability
Easy fieldbus integration with optional BasicBus Module and available bus protocols

Features

Save space and simplify installation with a compact unit footprint and a DIN-rail mountable design (up to 60 A system rating)
Precisely regulate power, including load management, for optimal control and energy consumption
Easily integrate with existing control systems; customize faults, alarms, status, limits, and set points
Increase process efficiency; optimize load control with five control types and three operating modes

Benefits

Scalable PLC/PAC integration for closed-loop control; optional system interface connects up to 8 power controllers to BasicBus Module (Profibus DPV1, CANopen, Profinet, Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT)
Securely separate control and power units and optimize load control; use up to five control methods and three operating modes
1-, 2-, or 3-phase versions (2-phase version for 3-phase load without deploying neutral conductor)
Securely separate control and power units and optimize load control; use up to five control methods and three operating modes
