Thyristor phase controllers

March 2003 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers

Phasecon has been operating in the industrial electronic industry since 1980 and has established a reputation for quality and reliability. Pinetown Electronics, one of the strongest industrial electronics service centres in KZN, has a Phasecon product distributorship and is now in a position to offer industry the best possible solutions, technical advice and suggestions on how to improve quality and productivity of production machinery.

This local development has proved itself repeatedly in industry, according to Pinetown Electronics, and where reliability and price are concerned, offers many advantages over imported alternatives.

The technology is available to end-users who require a complete thyristor stack assembled, installed and commissioned, or alternatively, the control card is available for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
