Welcome To G-TV! Today I will be showing you Payne Engineering 18TBP Series Variable Voltage
Controllers. Payne’s Model 18TBP variable voltage controls provide infinitely variable
control of single-phase AC voltage to resistive heating elements. These controls are solid-state
replacements for variable transformers, mercury relays, saturable core reactors, and electromechanical
contactors. Power Triacs replace contacts and brushes to control electric power without
moving parts, and, when operated within their stated ratings for current, voltage, and temperature,
have no known mean time between failures or life expectancy rating. The 18TBP comes in
an all solid state construction that is compact and lightweight that employ single hole mounting
to panels and enclosure doors, and utilizes an electrically isolated heat sink chassis
that allows continuous operation in ambient temperatures from negative 10 to 500C with
no derating. The design provides protection for the power semiconductor components against
damage. A 2 millisecond fuse allows the protection against short-circuit damage; and an R-C snubber
network protects against the instantaneous rate of voltage change failure. This voltage
controller has an input voltage of 120 volts AC and an output voltage of 0 to 118 volts
AC, at 10 amps, with a main frequency of 50 and 60 hertz, and can be panel or chassis
mounted. Typical Applications for the 18TBP: Replace Variable Transformers, Electric Heater
Control, Light Dimming, Hot-Wire Cutting, Heat Sealing and Packaging, Plastic Molding
and Extruding and Food Preparation Equipment. Payne Engineering 18TBP Series Variable Voltage
Controllers along with thousands of other products and services are available at Galco.com.
