Energy Control Unit (ECU)
Description:
Features
- Compact size
- Convenient mounting – clips into CBI mini rail
- Silent operation
- The controlling circuit can carry 60 A continuously
- LED indication “ON” when controlled circuit interrupted and “OFF” when circuit reconnected
- Instantaneous interruption of controlled load at nominal 105% rated current
- Instantaneous reconnection of controlled load at nominal 65% rated current
- Operating point not affected by ambient temperature
Applications
- To control the disconnecting of secondary or non-essential loads such as electrically heated water tanks or under floor heating, during high demand periods
- Example: When a stove (controlling circuit) is switched on and the current exceeds the rating of the ECU, the supply to the hot water tank (controlled circuit) will be temporarily interrupted. The ECU rating (amp) should be low enough to ensure the timely interruption of the controlled circuit.
