The Maxwell SCR20CA Series is a highly integrated, single-phase AC power controller designed for advanced feedback control and precise voltage regulation. Built around a high-power thyristor (SCR) chip, this compact unit incorporates a digital phase-shift control circuit alongside highly accurate output voltage and current measurement systems. A standout feature of the SCR20CA is its multi-functionality: users can seamlessly switch between constant voltage, constant current, and constant power control modes directly via the digital panel or communication interface. Equipped with true RMS sampling and a fully isolated measurement system, it ensures safe and reliable operation. With built-in RS-485 Modbus RTU communication, pluggable control terminals, and comprehensive protection mechanisms, the SCR20CA is an ideal solution for modern, automated industrial heating and power control applications.

|
Multi-Mode Closed-Loop Control |
Seamlessly switch between constant voltage, constant current, and constant power modes to suit diverse load requirements — all configurable via the digital panel. |
|
True RMS Sampling |
Fully isolated voltage and current sampling system ensures highly accurate true RMS measurement with safe isolation between the control and power circuits. |
|
Advanced Digital Interface |
Intuitive digital panel displays real-time output voltage (V), current (A), power (kW), and RS-485 station number; all parameters are easily viewable and modifiable. |
|
Comprehensive Multi-Layer Protection |
Built-in overvoltage (E017), overcurrent (E018), and overheat protection (95°C threshold), plus load open-circuit detection and AC input loss monitoring. |
|
RS-485 Modbus RTU Communication |
Standard RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol (up to 115200 baud, address 1-247) enables remote monitoring, data logging, and seamless PLC/SCADA integration. |
|
Integrated Thermal Management |
Controller and heatsink are combined into a single compact unit; the SCR20CA-S variant adds a configurable cooling fan for demanding high-duty-cycle applications. |
|
Flexible Installation |
Pluggable, spring-loaded control terminals facilitate quick wiring and equipment replacement; supports both DIN rail and screw mounting for versatile panel integration. |
|
Independent PID Control Loops |
Three independent PID control loops (voltage, current, and power) with individually tunable P, I, and D parameters for precise and stable closed-loop performance. |
