Compact and practical, the Thyritop 101 operates in synchronous Burst firing mode with logical control. The relay is activated when the voltage falls to zero and deactivated when the current falls to zero. It is designed for use in applications involving high transients.

Its current rating is from 15A to 90A. Single-phase, with communication at zero voltage, for resistive loads, it is ideal for packaging machines, clothesmaking machines, extrusion lines, overs, thermoforming machines, etc.

For more than 30 years, Pyrocontrole's Thyritop controller has been the essential instrument for controlling currents, voltages and power in industrial electric heating processes. Today,it is also being used for a new application:  energy performance.

To reduce your energy bills and decarbonize our industry, here is the  brand new 100 Series Thyritop static relay.

May the Force be with you, Thyritop!

The Thyritop 101 is already available!

Pyrocontrole, part of the Chauvin Arnoux Group, has just been awarded 605G certification by the Stellantis Group to supply power controllers in order to optimize the production lines, particularly for the PSA Group. 

Stellantis is the international automotive group created by the merger of PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2021, which is behind a total of fourteen brands including Citroën, Peugeot, Fiat, Maserati, Lancia, Jeep, etc.

Pyrocontrole will be supplying Thyritop 500 and 600 models for the largest automotive foundry in Europe at the Stellantis factory in Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes, France). The controllers will help to optimize the operational and energy efficiency of the furnaces for manufacturing rough-cast blanks made of spheroidal-graphite cast iron and aluminium alloy (parts for the power trains and the road/vehicle interface) for the machining and assembly units, as well as the bodywork paint curing tunnels.

Moreover, this industrial site, which has been ISO 14001-certified since 2002, has joined the drive to control the environmental impact in total agreement with Pyrocontrole, helping to decarbonize and reduce the ecological footprint for society.

The temperatures and weather in the next few months will have a very significant impact on people's energy consumption, with the risk that electricity may temporarily no longer be supplied in certain places.

To be able to implement the behaviors or management practices needed to cut electricity consumption, you have to make a survey of your electricity consumption per usage and per location : heating, ventilation, lighting, etc.

With the Ulys MCM from Chauvin Arnoux Energy there is no risk of a power cut this winter.

This new, innovative multi-feeder meter from Chauvin Arnoux Energy addresses this issue of available space in existing electrical installations. These 18 three-phase or 54 single-phase electricity meters in one product, in a volume equivalent to two meters. Its compact dimensions mean it can be integrated quickly and easily in any situation.

The Ulys MCM measures the current by means of a wide range of current sensors which are easy to install on any conductor: wire, cable, multicable, copper bar, etc. The split-core sensors can be opened, so they can be set up without cutting off the power and they are suitably sized: 6 current transformer models (from 5A to 600 A) and 2 flexible Rogowski coil sensors (up to 3,000 A).

The latest product, the TCCV 1050, is a 50 A current transformer which is particularly suitable for the building sector, where large numbers of electrical feeders are protected by 32 A or 40 A circuit breakers.

In the case of the building industry, we will seek to analyze the consumption for each type of use: heating, ventilation, lighting, etc. In addition, there are also certain specific types of consumption depending on the buildings involved: for example, a food shop will pay particular attention to the area containing the refrigerated sales cabinets. For the largest tertiary sites, it will also be necessary to trace consumption by the different buildings so that any energy-hungry buildings can be identified.

Electrical power distribution usually follows the functional setup of the sites. It will thus be possible to measure each usage and each location by equipping the right feeders with electricity meters.

Usually grouped in the same electrical cabinets or in the same electrical room, a large number of meters are installed in the same place: either inside existing cabinets or, when the available space is limited, in additional boxes set up alongside the measurement points.

Don't wait any longer to use the Ulys MCM, its small size combined with its innovative technology make it the asset for your energy saving projects!

The CA 1730 can be used for distance measurements up to 60 m. Distance, area, volume: it can display up to 4 values on its backlit screen. 

A prediction which sounds like something we've heard before... global warming, gas crisis in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, rising oil prices, risk of rationing during the winter… the situation is looking tense for French people and industrial companies.

With the "energy sobriety plan" asking every company to "mobilize and take action" announced by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, companies are in the front line for the governmental directives. The Chauvin Arnoux Group, which will be celebrating its 130th anniversary as a designer and manufacturer of electrical measuring instruments and solutions in 2023, is ready to play its part.

In this context, Chauvin Arnoux is this year presenting a complete range of energy management products. Its brand new CA 8345 industrial electrical network analyser was launched recently and can be used for continuous monitoring of energy losses, while the PEL range of Power & Energy Loggers and installation testers like the MX 535 from our Metrix brand contribute to closer control of your energy use. At Pyrocontrole, a Chauvin Arnoux Group company, the focus is on decarbonization and its new offering covering temperature measurement and control in the hydrogen sector. Meanwhile, our subsidiary CA Energy is rolling out its new GridWatch supervision solution capable of anticipating failures on the installations. Lastly, Chauvin Arnoux Energy's Ulys multiple meter proposes a solution particularly well suited to managing energy savings. Chauvin Arnoux remains focused on the energy issues currently facing people in France and on helping to reduce their costs.

At Pyrocontrole, a Chauvin Arnoux Group company, we have been power control specialists for 70 years! But in concrete terms, how does a power controller function and what is it for? 

Relays, static contactors and power controllers are necessary in all industrial processes. They are ideal replacements for electromechanical power contactors.

Usually controlled by control loops, thyristor power controllers handle switching of high electrical powers.

Indeed, their solid-state operating principle eliminates the contact wear problems encountered with electromechanical systems, leading to costly production downtime. To increase the time between two contact changes, the contactor's switching period is extended, causing deterioration of the control loop.

Electromechanical contactors are designed to switch the power without worrying about the electrical disturbances generated on the network. The higher the power to be switched, the greater the disturbances on the network, which may in turn cause malfunctions on the electronic equipment installed on the network in question.

Thyristor controllers offer a much longer life span with very fast switching rates. On high-value resistive or inductive three-phase or single-phase loads, they offer high accuracy at the level of the control loop. The switching operations are performed when the mains voltage falls to zero, thus minimizing electromagnetic disturbances.

Applications like drying, melting or heating plastics or metals often require very close control of the temperature processes. Automation of temperature control guarantees that precise temperatures are reached, thus ensuring that the energy devoted to heating is used efficiently. So the installation of a power controller enables more efficient use of the raw materials while reducing energy consumption and decarbonizing your processes by adapting your energy consumption to match your requirements.

To sum up:

• Achieve savings
• Reduce your energy balance sheet
• Decarbonize your processes
• Eliminate problems with worn contacts
• Increase the time between 2 contact replacements
• Forget about electrical disturbances on the network

After all, Thyritop is a Superhero, which is already a lot!
