C Family of Solid State Contactors --
The new standard for industrially hardened, AC-1 and AC-3 solid state contactors

Features

  • 2 switching channels for up to 100 amps per leg
  • ALERT diagnostics output -- SCR health, SCR problem, load open, external fuse open, broken wire, and thermal problems
  • Two independent channels OR install it as a 2 pole contactor
  • SMALL -- only 80 mm by 175mm (~3x7 inches)
  • Maximum Surge Survival™ technology -- triple layer, voltage surge protection
  • Thermally optimized heat sink permits edge-to-edge installations
  • Universal installation bracket -- din rail or bolt on
  • REAL POWER switching channels every 1.6 inches
 
  • Heater contactor, lighting contactor, or motor starter
  • Modular design for flexibility in stocking, installing, and maintaining
  • Green LEDs for input status, red LEDS for ALERT status
  • Built-in snubber circuit and MOVs
  • Built in temperature monitor and temperature shutdown
  • Precise zero crossing switching -- lowest EMI, lowest noise to nearby electronics
  • 4000 volt isolation, 1400 volt blocking voltage, 1650 max amperage for one sinewave
  • Industry standard L1, T1, L2, T2, A1, A2, B1, B2 terminal numbers
  • High density design permits more amps per square inch of installation area

Part Number

CZ2H-IDC2   Solid State Contactor, 2 channels at up to 100 amps per channel, 575V max, DC control input Buy

For additional information and complete product specifications, please see the four page: C Family Solid State Contactor Data Bulletin. For simplified wiring information and ALERT wiring information, visit: control input and ALERT wiring. For high amperage inrush applications (motor starters, municipal lighting, stadium lighting, etc.) confirm that the maximum amperage requirements for the load is less than 180 amps for 2 seconds.


Part Number Line Voltage Range (VAC) Load Current Range (A RMS) Min Control Voltage & Current Draw Max Control Voltage & Current Draw

Diagnostics output The ALERT output will activate upon: SCR #1 failed open or closed, SCR #2 failed open or closed, SCR incapable of switching (OK now, but can not switch when commanded), no incoming power (open fuse), no outbound power (open load), and thermal shutdown. The "incapable of switching ALERT" is a Power-io exclusive feature. For example: a dropped tool momentarily shorts the load during a machine change-over. The machine starts OK and the loads are ON during start up. The ALERT activates because the SCR is damaged and is incapable of future switching as requested.
The standard diagnostics range is for a line voltage of 100 - 575 VAC. Contact Power-io for diagnostics outside this voltage range.
Off-State dv/dt >3000 v/µs
Isolation 4000 volts isolation: Line to control input 1; Line to control input 2, Line to base
I²T fuse 100A or less, for example: Bussman FWP-100A22F, or smaller. High inrush loads, motors, incandescent lights, stadium lighting may be able to use higher I²T fuses, under certain circumstances. Contact Power-io before using any I²T fuse greater than 100 amps.
Turn-on time One sinewave max, max imbalance delay 1/2 sinewave
Turn-off time One sinewave max, max imbalance delay 1/2 sinewave
Power terminals Will accept #8- #2 AWG wire. Torque: 40-60 inch lbs.
Control terminals Will accept #24- #12 AWG wire. Torque: 7-9 inch lbs.
