ITC’s High Power (up to 30 Amps.) Temperature Control Systems are uniquely engineered to control mold temperature for 1 to 6 zone applications without the need for special temperature control modules. The Main Features of our High-Power Main Frame systems (MFHP-30) are:
- Since 1984 we have been manufacturing systems conforming to our customer’s needs, building the expertise necessary to construct virtually anything needed by our customers.
- Use Standard Temperature Modules (S20-D3C or UATC-20 ) which are the same as found in our 15 Amp. system. This eliminates the need for special high amperage modules. Using one style modules for both15 Amp. and 30 Amp system will give you following benefits :
- Eliminate the need for special double wide, high-cost control modules.
- Eliminates the need for mainframes with special double wide slots.
- Reduce the possibility of system damage due to inserting a module in the wrong mainframe slot.
- Reduce total system cost as well as inventory cost.
- Full Load Capacity High Power mainframes are designed to operate under full load capacity. This means Sequential Startup is not required.
- Amperage Display – The heater amperage draw for each zone can be checked by turning the selector switch to appropriate zone and pressing the amp button next to it. The display will indicate amperage draw for the selected zone. This feature allows for the use of control modules which do not have amperage readout capabilities.
- Easy Installation – All 30 Amp. (High Power) main frames are completely self-contained and easy to install. Secure the main power to the main frame, 240 VAC, and attach mold power and thermocouple cables to mainframe.
- Protection:
- Each heater zone is protected by a pair of 30 Amp. Fuses, which are easily accessible.
- The main frame is equipped with the appropriate circuit breaker.
- Anti-Arching – This feature is designed in the main frame to protect damage to both, main frame, and module, in an event a module is inadvertently removed while under load. This feature will function only in newer ITC control modules, which are equipped with modified circuitry.
- Phase Indicators, indicate which leg has power.
- High Power main frames are configured to fit our regular stands and can be tied together with our standard 15 Amp. main frame.
Custom Systems can be provided upon request.
