CRYDOM’S WORLD CLASS SOLID STATE SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY IS NOW AVAILABLE IN THE SOLICON DRC SERIES OF SOLID STATE CONTACTORS WHICH OFFERS PERFORMANCE LEVELS NEVER REACHED BEFORE BY ANY CONTACTOR

Crydom is pleased to announce the new SOLICON DRC Series of AC Output Solid State Contactors. SOLICON solid state contactors are the most innovative compact DIN Rail Mounted, IEC standard based contactors in the market and combine all advantages of a solid state design with the functionality and simplicity of use of an electromechanical contactor.

SOLICON DRC Series solid state contactors are the only contactors for Motor Control in the market with:
- Maximum switching frequency of 9000 cycles/hour
- Embedded auxiliary contacts (Normally open and Normally closed)
- 100KA Short Circuit Current Rating
- The most frequently used AC and DC input control voltage configurations available (24VAC/DC, 120VAC, 230VAC)

These features make the SOLICON DRC Series unique in the market, beating similarly rated competitive products on each front with a broader working temperature range (-30ºC to +80ºC), better resistance to surge current (750 Amps), higher resistance to short circuit (2560 A2S), smaller size (height and depth) and greater life span (50 Million cycles).

All these premium features are included in both available SOLICON models:
- DRC3P, Solid State Contactor
- DRC3R, Reversing Solid State Contactor
Both models are rated up to 5HP @ 480VAC

The DRC3P is available in either instantaneous turn-on (typically used for Motor Control) or zero-crossing turn-on (more often used with resistive loads). Both are available with either 2 or 3 controlled legs.

The DRC3R reversing contactor also includes a control interlock feature that allows only Off, Forward and Reverse operation in a safe mode, while providing relevant cost reduction and high space saving.

Available with 2 operating voltage options (400 VAC and 480 VAC), 5 HP motor rated (except the DRC3P contactor with 3 controlled legs which is rated @ 3 HP) and including an LED input status indicator, the DRC3 can be used in combination with the most frequently used overload relays and thermal magnetic circuit breakers (Schneider Electric’s LRD and GV2) thanks to their full mechanical and electric compatibility.

Crydom’s SOLICON DRC Series contactors are C-UL-US Listed and compliant to IEC 60947-4-2 requirements. They are also CE certified to the IEC Low Voltage Directive and compliant to the IEC EMC and RoHS Directive.

Crydom’s proprietary thermal management technology and proven Solid State Relay expertise are now combined with advanced uP based timing in the new “SeriesOne DR” Timer line offering models with exceptional Solid State output ratings of either 6 amp AC and DC and 8 different precision timing functions with 18 variations in a compact 11mm wide DIN Rail mounted package designed for the direct control of a wide variety of resistive and inductive loads.

Crydom’s renowned Solid State Relay technology is now available combined with 8 different Microprocessor based timing functions including a total of 18 possible timing variations. Ideal for use in control panels for direct control of contactors, solenoids, motors, heaters, lights, etc. The SeriesOne DR Timer series is available with either 6 amp/24 to 280 VAC output rating or 6 amp/1 to 60 VDC output rating, both at 40°C ambient temperature…. ratings well in excess of most Solid State Output Timers in the market today, therefore allowing direct control of many loads thus eliminating the need for interfacing power relays often required for use with lower power timers.

Available timing functions include “A” & “At” delay on make, “B” single shot, “C” delay on break, “H” & “Ht” interval, “L” & “Li” repeat cycle, and “U” multifunction that includes A, At, Ac, B, Bw, C, D, Di, H, and Ht functions. Basic timing function selection is user settable via screw slot rotary switches on the side of the SeriesOne DR Timers, while unit and fine timing adjustments are made on the front panel of the Timers. This arrangement provides easy access to Technicians for simple timing adjustments but significantly reduces accidental changes to the basic function.

Control for the SeriesOne DR Timers, depending on model, is 12 to 24 VAC/DC for all models, with options of either 90 to 140 VAC or 180 to 240 VAC for AC outputs only. All Crydom SeriesOne DR Timers are UL listed and cUL recognized, UL Motor Control rated, RoHS and China RoHS compliant, and CE certified to the Low Voltage and EMC Directives.
