RGH 1-Phase Solid State Contactor with High Blocking Voltage
This slimline range of solid state contactors is an evolution of solid state switches for which Carlo Gavazzi is very well known. The RG solid state contactors present a unique opportunity for panel space savings thanks to their very slim footprint.
The RGH is the ready-to-use range that is provided with an integrated heatsink and carries a high blocking voltage specification of 1600Vp. This makes the RGH more suitable for applications where uncontrolled transients may occur frequently. The output is still protected against overvoltages by means of an integrated varistor for sitautions where the uncontrolled transients exceed 1600Vp.
The smallest footprint occupies a width of only 17.5 mm. Control ON indication is provided through a green LED. The RGH is avaiable in E-type configuration with some variants available also in U-type configuration.
Benefits
• Suitable for harsh environments. The RGH has a blocking voltage specification of 1600 Vp making it suitable for applications subject to frequent uncontrolled transients.
• Panel space savings. The slimmest product in the range accomodates up to 23 AAC in a width of only 17.5 mm.
• Less maintenance costs. Wire bonding technology reduces thermal and mechanical stresses of the output chips resulting in a larger number of operational cycles compared to other assembly technologies.
• Low machine downtime. Integrated overvoltage protection prevents the solid state relay from breaking down due to uncontrolled transients exceeding 1600 Vp that may occur on the lines.
• Ease of use. The RGH ready-to-use solution is provided with integrated heatsink thus eliminating the need for the user to calculate the size of heatsink needed for adequate thermal dissipation.
• Cost effective protection co-ordination. The high I²t specification permits easy Type 2 protection co-ordination with B-type Minitaure Circuit Breakers.
• Fast wiring. Power connections for models rated >30 A are equipped with terminals that can handle cables up to 25 mm2 / AWG3 cables. Spring loaded control terminals are also available that help reduce installation time.
• Accommodates UL508A requirements for Industrial Control Panels. The RGH is certified as a listed product. All models carry a 100 kArms Short Circuit Current Rating.
Features
• Ratings up to 759 VAC, 60 A @ TA 40°C
• 1600 Vp for blocking voltage with integrated over voltage protection
• 100kA short circuit current rating according to UL508
