RGC..32: THE EXTREMELY COMPACT 30 AAC SOLID STATE CONTACTOR SERIES

RGC..32: THE EXTREMELY COMPACT
30 AAC SOLID STATE CONTACTOR SERIES

The RGC..32 solid state contactor is intended mainly for switching of heater loads up to a maximum of 37 AAC,
occupying as little space as possible. It is available with screw output terminals, for a maximum rating of 30 AAC, and
also with box clamp output terminals, for a maximum rating of 37 AAC.

The footprint occupied by this series is only 17.8mm / 0.7”. Apart from space saving in the panel, its small size also
means less weight and hence lower transportation costs for machines, especially when multiple SSRs are used.
Thanks to its high surge current specification, the RGC..32 can be protected against short circuits by the use of economical
and easily accessible Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) instead of semiconductor fuses. Since the width of the RGC..32
is identical to that of the MCB, a combination of the 2 components allows for a very neat and effective panel layout.
“This new range of solid state contactors presents the opportunity to optimise panel space but it also provides energy
savings in panel cooling, thanks to the low power dissipation,” says Dorianne Grech – International Product Manager.
“With this launch Carlo Gavazzi’s intention is to further strengthen its position in the market”.
