SOLAIRA SHP CONTROLS are sold without VENTED enclosures. UL approved VENTED enclosures are sold separately or sourced
locally. It is imperative that the enclosure be vented to allow for adequate air flow through the controller, inadequate airflow could cause
the control fuses to not perform to their engineered specification.

SOLAIRA SHP HIGH POWER CONTROLS utilize phase-angle firing to provide infinitly variable control of single-phase A.C. voltages
to variable resistance loads for quartz/tungsten emitter and tube systems. These units are solid state and when operated within their
stated ratings for current, voltage, and temperature, have no known MTBF or life expectancy rating.

THREE PILLARS OF PROTECTION
SOLAIRA SHP HIGH POWER CONTROLS incorporate exclusive design features to protect power semiconductor
components against damage:
• Unique “Vbo Clamping” provides unmatched protection for power semiconductors against transient voltage
spikes common on commercial and industrial power mains.
• 2 millisecond* fuses protect semiconductors against shod-circuit faults. SOLAIRA SHP HIGH POWER
CONTROLS are equipped with factory and approved fuses coordinated with power semiconductors.
• Proprietary heatsinks are engineered in-house, coordinating finite-element analysis (FEA) with on-site lab
tests. SOLAIRA SHP HIGH POWER CONTROLS operate at 50° C (122° F) with no derating.

APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY
Standard configuration of all Series 18D-SOL SCR controls is manual control via a 270° turn potentiometer
(included). A 1/2 second soft-start feature minimizes the current inrush to variable-resistance loads when first
energized. Standard option allow for automatic open or closed loop control in response to analog control signal froma temperature controller, PLC I/O module or other external source. Other options allow controls to be configured for
the specific requirements of each application.

SPECIFICATIONS
Power Circuit: inverse-parallel semiconductors selected for Vbo Clamping transient protection, with parallel R-C
circuit for dv/dt protection. Current-clamping 2 millisecond power fuses in series with the power
semiconductors provide short-circuit protection.
Mains Frequency: 50/60 Hz standard
Output Voltage: 4% to nominal input voltage, infinitely variable.
Overall Efficiency: 98.5 to 99.5%.
Power Loss: approximately 1-2 watts/ampere/switched pole.
Voltage Drop Across Power Circuit at 100% Output: 1-2 volts maximum per switched pole.
Proof Voltage: (isolation between power circuit, control circuit and ground) greater than 2 kV.
Control input: manual control via 75K Ohm potentiometer with Integral On/Off switch and calibrated dial plate
standard.
Control Power: 5 watts minimum, derived from 12 VA isolation control transformer on all units.
Fuse Protection: 2 millisecond fuses are factory tested and coordinated with all power semiconductors, considering:
a. fuse element melt time tmelt
b. peak melt current Imelt
c. arc quench time tarc
d. peak arc current Iarc
Transient Voltage Protection: voltage breakover (Vbo) protection with R-C filters for dv/dt protection.

ENCLOSURES
SOLAIRA SHP HIGH POWER CONTROLS are supplied WITHOUT enclosures. Most electrical supply companies offer
competitively priced options to enclose Solaira SHP controller. Should a contractor or wholesaler require enclosures,
please contact Solaira directly for cost and availability.

SIZING CONSIDERATIONS

SOLAIRA SHP HIGH POWER CONTROLS Model are designed for use on variable resistance loads such as
quartz/tungsten emitters and tubes. Size units by actual load amps and not kW.
1. Always use maximum possible load current for sizing purposes.
2. SHP Controls can operate at either 110-120V or 230-240V with electrician installation based on operating
voltage.
3. The amp rating on all Solaira SHP power controls is stated on the nameplate. Steady-state current draw
must not exceed that rating.
4. Rated voltage of the connected load should match the input voltage to the power control.
