Single-Phase AC Power Controller

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.

Key Features

 

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.
