Overview

The Littelfuse PHS230A6 is a single-function phase control relay designed for variable voltage applications. With a 230 VAC input voltage and a tolerance of ±20%, this relay operates reliably on 50/60 Hz AC line frequencies. It features a steady-state output load rating of 6 A (100% on) and an impressive inrush current capability of 60 A, suitable for loads experiencing high initial current draws. The PHS230A6 offers external adjustment via a 200KΩ potentiometer rated at 2W, allowing direct control of heavy loads by varying the effective output voltage. As external resistance increases, output voltage decreases, and vice-versa. The solid-state design ensures longer operational life. Its output contact rating is SPST A300, 720VA @ 240 V ac (10 A max.). The relay has a minimum load current of 100 mA and a voltage drop of approximately 2.0 V at rated current. General characteristics include dielectric breakdown of ≥ 2000 V RMS and insulation resistance of ≥100MΩ. Mechanically, it features single-hole surface mounting with one #10 (M5 x 0.8) screw, dimensions of H 50.8 mm (2”), W 50.8 mm (2”), D 38.4 mm (1.51”), and 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) male quick connect terminals. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20 °C to 60 °C and -40 °C to 85 °C, respectively, with humidity up to 95% non-condensing. The 6A model weighs approximately 3.9 oz (111 g). For units rated 6 A and above, bolting to a metal surface with included heat sink compound is required, with a maximum mounting surface temperature of 90 °C. Inrush rating is non-repetitive for 16 ms. Applications include protection, control, and monitoring of generators and other devices. The PHS230A6 is UL Recognized (File E57310 UL508). Compatible accessories include the P1004-175 (200kΩ 2W) Versa-Pot and the P0700-7 Versa-Knob.

This group of solid-state flashers has proven reliability with years of use throughout the world.
The FA and FS Series Flashers have proven their reliability through years of use on communication towers, smoke stacks, cooling towers, tall buildings, bridges and utility towers. The highest quality components are encapsulated in a rugged plastic housing with a molded-in heat transfer plate. The flash rate, ratio, and failsafe design meet FAA regulations. Zero voltage switching can increase lamp life up to ten times. The FS155-30RF & FS165-30RF include superior RF filtering circuitry for use in high RF installations, including AM hot towers. Operation: FS Series - Flasher (OFF First), FA Series - Flashers & Aux. Modules: Upon application of input voltage, the T2 OFF time begins. At the end of the OFF time, the T1 ON time begins and the load energizes. At the end of T1, T2 begins and the load de-energizes. This cycle repeats until voltage is removed. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the output and the sequence to T2.
