QVR VARIABLE REGULATOR FOR & QUARTZ LAMPS OR QVR/S RESISTANCE HEATERS X10207 DESCRIPTION These variable phase angle powerful regulators are robust, compact and enclosed units for 230V or 110V up to 15A single phase mains driven loads. They give fully adjustable voltage outputs from zero to maximum, The large Triac enables the unit to handle high inrush currents with ample safety margin on industrial installations. An adhesive backed silver label and hairline knob, are optional extras, for front panel mounting. APPLICATION Suitable for quartz lamps, or conventional resistive heating elements in single, series or parallel configurations to the specified voltage, current and temperature limits. Applications include ovens, moulders, dryers and some inductive loads, for example transformers and motors. RoHS Compliant FEATURES Directive 2002/95/EC Infinitely variable 0-98% output. ON/OFF switched version (QVR/s) Single hole fixing. Rugged and compact. Large triac for inrush protection. High surge option.
