Introducing representative methods! About control methods.

Lighting control methods used when turning on a halogen heater! Here are two typical examples.

We will introduce the control methods for infrared halogen heaters. The typical lighting control methods used when turning on a halogen heater are the "phase control method with soft start function" and the "cycle control method with zero-cross function." The "phase control method with soft start function" controls the conduction time (phase angle) for each half cycle of the AC power supply. In the "cycle control method with zero-cross function," the heat generation of the halogen heater is controlled by adjusting the ratio of the on period to the off period within a fixed cycle (usually selectable). 【Features of the Phase Control Method with Soft Start Function】 ■ Controls the conduction time (phase angle) for each half cycle of the AC power supply to regulate the heat generation of the halogen heater. ■ Allows for gradual voltage adjustment, enabling soft start control. ■ Minimizes the impact of inrush current. ■ There is a risk of causing malfunction in surrounding electronic devices due to the generation of harmonics, so caution is needed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information

[Features of Cycle Control Method with Zero Cross Function] ■ Controls the heating amount of halogen heaters by adjusting the ratio of on-time to off-time within a constant cycle (usually selectable). ■ Suitable for systems where noise is a concern, as it generates less high-frequency noise. ■ Generally, the equipment is inexpensive. ■ Since there is no function to suppress inrush current, it is necessary to select equipment with a large capacity. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
