DRC Series
Diverse Range
of Applications
DRC Series contactors can be
used in a wide range of AC
motors up to 5 HP (3.7 KW) and
are particularly suited for
demanding applications that
require higher levels of
reliability such as machine
tools, packaging machinery,
conveyor systems, hoisting
equipment, and auxiliary
motors for fans and pumps.
SOLICON DRC Series Solid State Contactors
respond to a control signal in less than 20
milliseconds. Small, and therefore faster
EMR contactors, require up to 80 milliseconds
to change states, making DRC contactors 4
times faster.
All SOLICON DRC Solid State Contactors are
position insensitive in all planes permitting
mounting in any position. Their all solid state
design means they do not impact adjacent
equipment with shock, vibration or magnetic
fields generated by coils and moving parts.
DRC contactors can be mounted side by side
so long as the thermal derating associated
with zero spacing is observed (see product
datasheet).
SOLICON DRC3R Reversing Contactors
include embedded electronic interlock control
for On/Off and Forward/Reverse motor control
insuring that conflicting control signals do not
create faults without the use of costly and
elaborate electromechanical interlocks
necessary for EMR contactors in the same
application.
Magnetic fields have no effect on Solid State
Relays or Contactors since unlike
electromechanical relays or contactors, there
are no magnetic coils or mechanical
components needed to move contacts. DRC
Solid State Contactors are not only immune to
magnetic fields, they do not create any
magnetic fields that may interfere with
adjacent equipment sensitive to such fields.
Fast Switching
Embedded Control Functions
Magnetic Noise Immunity
Position Insensitive
Unlike traditional electromechanical
contactors, the SOLICON DRC Series has 1
LED on board to indicate the status of the input
control voltage. An illuminated LED indicates
the presence of a control signal. SOLICON
DRC3R Reversing Contactors have 2 LEDs;
one indicating the presence of a forward
direction control signal, and one of a different
color indicating the presence of a reverse
direction control signal.
