The A3P is a proportional, infinitely variable power controller capable of delivering 0-97% of the applied line voltage to directly connected electric heaters. It will not control transformers or motors. This is accomplished by phase angle firing three SCR's (one per phase). Modular construction allows for simple and solderless field serviceability. There are four field replaceable items:
- Printed circuit board
- Fuses
- SCR/ diode packages
- MOV's (Metal Oxide Varistors)
