The MGC Series has been announced by American Control Electronics (ACE) as a new microprocessor-based fully regenerative SCR control. The on-board microprocessor allows ACE to preconfigure the MGC for a customer’s specific application. OEMs can select various modes of operation out of the box, including: torque, linear torque, independent speed/torque, cycling via limit switches, cycling via feedback, and positioning.

The competitively-priced MGC eliminates the need for additional items such as relays, switches and PLCs, reducing setup and installation time.

A new current-limiting algorithm prevents overshoot, extending brush life and reducing demagnetisation, which extends motor life.

Highlights of the MGC series include:

  • 115 or 230VAC power source, 50 or 60Hz single phase
  • Designed for 90 or 180VDC PMDC motors
  • Maximum current rating: 11A (equivalent to 2HP at 180VDC)
  • 1.37SCR form factor at motor’s rated speed
  • Maximum temperature: 50°C
  • Under 50Hz vibration = 0.5G, Over 50Hz vibration + 0.1G
  • UL listed US and Canada (UL61800-5-1).
