Advanced Energy Thyro-A+ Power Controllers

Advanced Energy Thyro-A+ Power Controllers are precise, digital SCR power controllers that support currents from 16A to 650A and rated voltages from 230V to 500V. These devices save space and simplify installation with a compact unit footprint and a DIN-rail mountable design for up to 60A system rating. The Thyro-A+ series offers scalable PLC/PAC integration for closed-loop control, and the optional system interface connects up to eight power controllers to a basic bus module. Engineers can securely separate control and power units and optimize load control, using up to three operating modes and five control methods. These power controllers precisely regulate power, including load management, for superior control and energy consumption. The optional Thyro-A+ display enables an intuitive operation of the SCR power controller, and the EasyStart feature supports easy Thyro-A+ commissioning.

Advanced Energy Thyro-A+ Power Controllers can be easily integrated into existing control systems, enabling users to customize faults, alarms, limits, status, and set points, while increasing process efficiency. These controllers are ideal for manufacturing, automotive, and petrochemical applications.
