Series RPC
Solid State Proportional Controller
15-40 Amp, 120/240/480 Vac Output
• Uses Potentiometer
for
Economical Pow
er
Control
• Industry Standard Package
The RPC series proportional controllers
provide a cost effective method of con-
trolling power in many different appli-
cations such as heaters, universal
motors or incandescent lamps. A cus-
tomer provided potentiometer is all that
is required for control. All modules are
supplied with KS100 protective cover.

➀
All parameters at 25˚C unless otherwise specified.
➁
Off-State dv/dt test method per EIA/NARM standard RS-443, paragraph 13.11.1
➂
Heat sinking required, for derating curves see page 2.
➃
Potentiometer should be selected with regards to line voltage isolation.
W ARNING
Control to load is not isolated, excercise care in handling the
RPC products to avoid the risk of electric shock.
