GTF-Xtra

Single-phase power controller up to 60A, with over current fault protection (Xtra)

Main features
  • Suitable for use in a wide range of applications including furnaces for heattreatment, high temperature materialsintering processes, glass and ceramic production
  • The integrated overcurrent fault protection provides complete heating process and system protection
  • Designed for Super Kanthal™ and silicon carbide single or three-phase heating systems

Overview

The Gefran GTF-Xtra power controller combines the functionality of a single, two or three phase solid-state power unit and controller with the benefits of the unique integrated overcurrent fault protection function.

The fault protection eliminates the need for extra-rapid fuses, reducing machine downtime and the cost of replacing fuse failures. It does so by instantaneously monitoring load current, cutting the power if the load reaches a pre-set threshold and isolating the power switching devices.

In applications susceptible to intermittent short-circuits and overloads, the Gefran Xtra power controller can be programmed to restore power automatically when the fault has cleared, preventing complete process shutdown and maintaining production.
