Rated current requirements

 

Trigger method

 

Essential protection configuration
380V three-phase electricity

 

Three phase three wire system/Three phase four wire system thyristor module ≥ 600V (line voltage adaptation)

 

Each phase current ≥ electric heating tube phase current × 1.5 times

 

Three phase synchronous triggering module (120 ° phase difference)

 

Phase loss protection, three-phase current imbalance protection, fast fuse
380V two-phase electricity (dual phase line)

 

Single phase bidirectional thyristor (SCR) or module

 

≥ 600V (peak voltage adaptation)

 

Total current ≥ total current of electric heating tube × 1.5-2 times

 

Single phase zero crossing/phase shifting trigger (synchronized with the power supply) Quick fuse, overcurrent relay, voltage surge absorber

 

Note: Calculation of phase current of electric heating tube

Three phase Y connection=total power ÷ (√ 3 × 380V); Three phase Δ connection=total power ÷ (3 × 380V); Two phase electric time=total power ÷ 380V.

2. 380V two-phase electrical wiring (parallel connection method)

Power end: Connect the 380V dual phase lines (L1, L2) to the input terminal of the single-phase thyristor module, and parallel the surge absorber (RC circuit).

• Load end: Two double headed electric heating tubes are connected in parallel, with each end connected to a thyristor output terminal and another phase line to avoid uneven voltage distribution caused by series connection.

Control end: The triggering module is connected to one of the phase lines as a synchronization signal to ensure that the conduction angle is consistent with the power phase and reduce current surges.

• Protection end: The fast fuse is connected in series on the power input side, with a rated current matching 1.2 times the total current of the electric heating tube.

3、 Selection&Wiring Key Supplement

• Selection of thyristor: Industrial grade modules (rather than discrete devices) are preferred. For high-power scenarios (≥ 10kW), it is recommended to use anti parallel thyristor modules for stronger stability.

• Wiring material: The diameter of the power line is selected according to the current (3-5A per square millimeter), and the control line is shielded to avoid electromagnetic interference triggering signals.

Debugging points: First, test whether the thyristor trigger is normal under no-load conditions during the initial start-up, and then run with load to monitor whether the three-phase current (three-phase scenario) or total current (two-phase scenario) is balanced.
