Have SCI mount a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) to your contactor to protect your SCR's from transient voltage surges. MOV's are ideally suited to welding applications. Their high clamping efficiency and low steady state power dissipation offer considerable advantages in protecting the SCR Contactor and control circuitry. SCI's MOV's feature high surge current capability, instantaneous response in a compact and robust package. Selection of the MOV is governed by incoming line voltage and SCR voltage rating (PIV).
Available in PA or LA series types.
Thermostats
Encapsulated Type
Unencapsulated Type
SCI's stocks the full line of thermostats commonly found on resistance welding contactors. Choose from non-encapsulated or encapsulated packages in various temperature ratings.
SCI's exclusive encapsulated thermostat is available in 50°C and 70°C, normally closed, and tested for 2000 Volt isolation.
These thermostats are ideal for moist areas or where contactors commonly sweat.
R/C Snubber
SCI's encapsulated Resistor and Capacitor Snubber is ideal for SCR protection from false firing and high voltage surges commonly found in resistance welding applications.
Available off the shelf, our R/C Snubbers can be added for use across all SCR Contactors to 600 Volt A.C. lines.
R/C/M Snubber
SCI's new encapsulated Resistor, Capacitor and MOV Snubber further reduces labor and simplifies welding controller wiring. All three components are encapsulated and pre-wired in the same convenient package.
