Zero-Cross

The term zero-cross or synchronous operation of SCR's is derived from the fact that the SCR's are turned on only when the instantaneous value of the sinusoidal waveform is zero.

In zero-cross operation power is applied for a number of continuous half-cycles and then removed for a number of half-cycles to achieve the desired load power in the same manner as power would be controlled with a mechanical switching device.

24 - 600 Vac. A microprocessor-based SCR controller operating both analog and digital interfaces. A phase angle or zero cross fired SCR controller which linearly controls, with respect to the setpoint, the AC voltage, current, or true power applied to a three phase electrical load. The 3 phase controller can be ordered in either 2 or 3 leg control with 2 leg being limited to zero cross firing. Control is achieved for 3 leg by three pairs of inverse parallel SCRs or in 2 leg by 2 pairs of inverse parallel SCRs.
