Introduction

Why these new variants ?

• To offer a more compact solution for small current ratings both for resistive loads as

well as motor loads

• To offer VDE certification for these additional variants due to their intended use in

equipment that need to be certified according to VDE requirements

• The RGC2..10 and RGC3..10 rated 10 AAC for resistive loads and 5 AAC for motor loads

provide cost and space savings compared to the RGC2A and RGC3A products that were available to date

• This will enable us to position our solutions better vs. competition bringing about new sales
• pportunities

• RGC2A: 2-pole switching + 1 pole direct
• RGC3A: 3-pole switching

Economy switching:

• Lower cost
• Less heat dissipation
• Less EMC emission

BUT..

• One phase always live

Features and Benefits

CUSTOMER ISSUE : Need 1 component ready to use solution for 3-phase loads in a compact platform OUR SOLUTION: The RGC2A, RGC3A series is dedicated for switching

• f

3 phase

• loads. The solutions are provided with

integrated heatsink and hence are ready for use as provided. The RGC..10 variant allows easy mounting on chassis by removal of the DIN clip ACHIEVED BENEFITS:

• Less installation time (wiring of a

single control unit instead of 3x 1- phase units)

• No need to calculate and source

heatsink external heatsink. Current ratings are specified for each ambient temperature

• Effective use of panel space

CUSTOMER ISSUE : Need reliable solution to replace mechanical contactors and hence guarantee of a long lifetime OUR SOLUTION: The RGC2, RGC3 series are fully solid state and so do not have lifetime issues associated with arcing of mechanical contacts. The series is additionally protected with varistors on the output against voltage surges ACHIEVED BENEFITS:

• Longer lifetime, less downtimes
• Reliable solution
• Integrated varistor on output and

hence no need for additional external components to conform to surge immunity tests CUSTOMER ISSUE : Need a solution that conforms to VDE requirements since the end equipment need to conform to VDE requirements OUR SOLUTION: The RGC..10 is VDE certified both for switching of motor loads as well as for DIN EN 60335-1 which is the standard that allows the product to be used in household appliances. ACHIEVED BENEFITS:

• Ease of certification process

Relevant applications

Customer issue

Switching of 3-phase compressors (400 VAC, 4.8 AAC) with a solid state solution. Solution needs to provide panel space savings and be VDE certified

Our Solution

RGC3A60A10KKES322 which is rated 5 AAC for motor

• loads. Integrated varistor ensures protection against over-
• voltages. The product dimensions are very compact with

a width of only 54mm vs. customer existent solution of

• 105mm. The S322 suffix represent a unit which is shipped

without DIN clip to facilitate installation and hence mounting on chassis.

Benefits

• Compact dimensions allowing panel space savings
• VDE certification eases customer certification process
• Reliable operation with a fully solid state solution

• These additional variants complement the very successful 3-phase solid state

contactor series with more cost effective solutions for low current ratings

• The benefits associated with the RGC2, RGC3 range have been adopted also for

these variants and hence the RGC2A..10 and RGC3A..10 have:

• Wire bonding power unit assembly for higher reliability
• UL listing certification
• Integrated overvoltage protection with varistor
• 100kA short circuit current rating
• Certified motor ratings
• The VDE certification for the RGC2A..10, RGC3A..10 allows easy fitting of such

variants in applications where end equipment need to conform to VDE requirements
