Micros
Regenerative SCR control for OEM applications
The MGC Series has been announced by American Control Electronics (ACE) as a new microprocessor-based fully regenerative SCR control. The on-board microprocessor allows ACE to preconfigure the MGC for a customer’s specific application. OEMs can select various modes of operation out of the box, including: torque, linear torque, independent speed/torque, cycling via limit switches, cycling via feedback, and positioning.
The competitively-priced MGC eliminates the need for additional items such as relays, switches and PLCs, reducing setup and installation time.
A new current-limiting algorithm prevents overshoot, extending brush life and reducing demagnetisation, which extends motor life.
Highlights of the MGC series include:
- 115 or 230VAC power source, 50 or 60Hz single phase
- Designed for 90 or 180VDC PMDC motors
- Maximum current rating: 11A (equivalent to 2HP at 180VDC)
- 1.37SCR form factor at motor’s rated speed
- Maximum temperature: 50°C
- Under 50Hz vibration = 0.5G, Over 50Hz vibration + 0.1G
- UL listed US and Canada (UL61800-5-1).
