Watlow DIN-A-MITE Power Controls

Product Description

The Watlow DIN-A-MITE power controllers are designed and manufactured with quality features expected from Watlow. DIN-A-MITE capabilities include single or three phase line voltages from 20 – 600 VAC, zero-crossing or phase angle control, and load current ratings up to 100 Amps depending on the configuration chosen. A unique integrated design removes the guesswork associated with selecting a proper heat sink and adequate terminations for the application. DIN-rail and back panel mounting is standard on this family of power controllers. The DIN-A-MITE is also mercury free making it an excellent option to replace mercury contactors. Thermal Devices offers the following DIN-A-MITE Power Controls:

DIN-A-MITE® A

The DIN-A-MITE® A power switching device controller is designed and manufactured with quality features expected from Watlow. DIN-A-MITE A capabilities include single-phase zero-cross switching up to 25 amperes at 600VAC (see rating curve). A unique integrated design removes the guesswork associated with selecting a proper heat sink and adequate terminations for the application. DIN-rail and back panel mounting is standard on this family of power switching devices. The DIN-A-MITE is also mercury free. Variable time base, 4-20mA process control or VAC/VDC input contactor versions are available. All configurations are model number dependent and factory selectable. This power controller includes 200KA short circuit current rating (SCCR) tested up to 480VAC to prevent arc flash with required fusing.

• 200KA short circuit current rating prevents arc flash
• DIN-rail or standard panel mount allows fast, versatile, low-cost installation
• Compact size reduces panel space and cost
• Touch-safe terminals increase operator/installer safety
• Mercury free – environmentally safe

DIN-A-MITE® B

The DIN-A-MITE® B is a low-cost, highly compact and versatile solid state electric heat controller. The DIN-A-MITE B capabilities include single-phase and three-phase zero-cross switching up to 40 and 22 amperes, respectively at 600VAC (see rating curve). This electric heat controller’s design includes proper heat sinking and terminations simplifying integration into applications. DIN-rail and back panel mounting is standard on this electric heat controller. The DIN-A-MITE controller is also mercury free. Variable time base, 4-20mA process control or VAC/VDC input contactor versions are available. A shorted silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) alarm option is also available. All configurations are model number dependent and factory selectable. This power controller also includes 200KA short circuit current rating (SCCR) tested up to480VAC to prevent arch flash with required fusing.

• 200KA short circuit current rating prevents arc flash
• DIN-rail or standard panel mount allows fast, versatile, low-cost installation
• Single and three-phase power permits use in a variety of applications
• Touch-safe terminals increase operator/installer safety
• Mercury free – environmentally safe

DIN-A-MITE® C

The DIN-A-MITE C silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller provides a low cost, compact and versatile solid state controller option for controlling electric heat. This solid state controller is designed and manufactured with the quality features expected from Watlow. DIN-rail and standard panel mounting plus a cabinet thru-wall mount version are available. Basic features of the solid state controller include single-phase, three-phase/two leg, and three-phase/three leg, 24-600VAC operation. Current switching capabilities range from 30 to 80A depending on the model ordered. Variable time base, linear voltage and current process control or VAC/VDC input contactor versions are available. Single-phase, phase angle firing and current limiting are also available. All configurations are model number dependent and factory selectable. This solid state power controller includes 200KA short circuit current rating (SCCR) tested up to 480VAC to prevent arch flash with required fusing.

• 200KA short circuit current rating prevents arc flash
• DIN-rail,standard panel or thru-wall mount allows fast, versatile, low-cost installation
• Single and three-phase power permits use in a variety of applications
• Touch-safe terminals increase operator/installer safety
• Open heater/shorted output alarm notifies the user in case of an open heater or shorted output

DIN-A-MITE® D

The DIN-A-MITE® D silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller provides an inexpensive, versatile product for controlling heat in an efficient package. This SCR controller is designed and manufactured with the quality features expected from Watlow. The back panel mounting matches the footprint of the industry standard mercury displacement relay. There is no need to worry about mercury; the DIN-A-MITE controller is mercury free. The DIN-A-MITE Style D is capable of zero-cross switching up to 100 amperes single-phase, at 600VAC at 86°F (30°C), depending on the model selected. Two or three controllers used together can control three-phase. It is totally touch-safe and includes standard back panel mounting, on-board semiconductor fuses (accessible from the front) and a current transformer option for external load current monitoring. An optional “shorted SCR detector” feature is available on some models. This model is UL®508 listed and C-UL®and CE certified. These agency approvals are ideal for those panel builders that require agency approvals on their panels and cabinets. Variable time base, 4-20mA process control, or VAC/VDC input contactor options are available. All configurations are model number dependent and factory selectable. This power controller also includes 200KA short circuit current rating (SCCR) tested up to 480VAC to prevent arch flash with required fusing.

• 200KA short circuit current rating prevents arc flash
• Panel mount provides same mount as industry standard 100A mercury displacement relay (MDR)
• On-board semiconductor fusing provides quick access with no extra mounting
• Touch-safe terminals increase operator/installer safety
• Mercury free – environmentally safe
