LINEAR STEP CONTROLLERS

CCE Series
Linear Step Controllers
(Up to 32 stages)


TECHNOLOGY

On large kW custom heaters, a Cristal Controls electronic step power controller offers the full advantages of both the Cristal Controls "SCR" and "Step Controller" and can be obtained with maximum economy.

In this system, normally recommended for precise temperature control on heaters drawing more than 100 Amps, one "SCR" heating stage, usually 25% larger than other heating stages, is proportionally controlled with Cristal Controls "SCR".

The other heating stages are controlled by the electronic step controller. The "SCR" stage automatically fills the gaps between step controlled stages, thus providing fully proportional control over the entire heater kW range.


Advantages

  • This scheme is far more economical than using "SCR" controllers to carry the entire heater load, yet is entirely equivalent in operation.
  • Cristal's Step Controllers range from 2 to 32 steps.
