Fan Speed Controllers | Single Phase VAC1-15E & VAC2-15E X10689 15A, 1.6kW 110V, 4kW 230V Fan control enclosed 0044 (0) 1704-516 501 enquiries@united-automation.com www.united-automation.com CONTACT US: INSTALLATION. DIMENSIONS & CONNECTIONS NOTE 1: The unit must be fastened to a heatsink (suitable panel) rated at 2ºC/W or better for a 15A operation. Heatsink paste is essential for use between surfaces (of unit and heatsink) for good thermal bonding. See INSTALLATION – cooling requirements. NOTE 2: Minimum set speed adjustment is accessed via a rear cover hole (this is covered by an adhesive label). Adjust the cermet screw using a small terminal screwdriver. KEY FEATURES: The VAC1-15E & VAC2-15E Single Phase Fan Controllers are robust and compact variable phase-angle regulators, designed to deliver reliable performance for single- phase mains-driven inductive loads. These enclosed fan controllers are suitable for either 230V or 110V systems, supporting up to 15A. Ideal for controlling induction motors, fans, and pumps, they offer fully adjustable voltage outputs from zero to maximum, ensuring precise control over your equipment's performance. The controllers feature an integrated RC snubber network, specifically designed for managing inductive loads, and a minimum set speed adjuster located at the rear. This adjuster allows you to set a minimum output voltage level, preventing motors from running too slowly, which can be critical in certain applications. Built with a large triac, the units can handle high inrush currents, providing a significant safety margin for industrial installations. For convenience, an adhesive-backed silver label and hairline knob are included for front panel mounting or for direct use on the unit. Variable 0-98% Output: Achieve precise voltage control for a wide range of applications. Minimum Set Speed Adjuster: Ensures motors do not run too slowly, protecting your equipment. Rugged and Compact Design: Durable construction suitable for industrial environments. Large TRIAC for Inrush Protection: Handles high inrush currents with ease. Integral RC Snubber: Enhances performance with inductive loads. Single Hole Fixing: Simplifies installation and setup.
