Electronic Controllers and Electric Power Control Panels with Excellent Communication Capabilities.
Enhanced Easy-Read Instrument Cluster Configuration for Temperature, Performance Efficiency, and GSR metrics.
Not all control panels are the same. When comparing equivalent control panels, it’s important to check several factors: the type of connectors, the quality of workmanship, and the quality of the instruments—such as whether the SCR can operate in phase angle mode. Additionally, consider the quality of the contactor or disconnect, the brand of the instruments (including the types of variables they support and display and if they can be externally controlled), and whether the panels and individual parts meet safety standards, such as UL508A or CE certification.

Three-Phase Control Panel Options 
The three-phase control panels offered by MHI are of two kinds. The ITRIPAN is for steady loads, and the TRIPAN – is when more complex control is required for a process.
A significant difference between the two kinds of panels lies in the functionality of the SCR in the panels. The SCRs used in the TRIPANs offer softer load control and significantly more sophisticated control options with current limit stabilization.
ITRIPAN
- One control zone
- One limit controller
- Quality controller
- Contactor for the load.

POWERPHASE SCR’S
Please note that there will be some differences between the Panels offered for different devices. This is required for optimizations or meeting price points. Please refer to your specific quote for features.
Why is an SCR required? An SCR helps improve the efficiency and life of heaters by allowing users to match the power required to the application’s requirements.
Why is a VFD required? A variable frequency drive (VFD) can help improve the efficiency of electric motors in industrial applications, such as blowers, by allowing users to match the blower speed to the application’s requirements
A complete range of SCR SINGLE and THREE PHASE power controllers are available from MHI. SCRs for MHI Panels only.

FAQ: People often ask how much energy does the control panel dissipate. Ans: Unlike induction-powered heaters, the control units do not dissipate power except as lighting (negligible as the MHI panels use LED lights) or from the SCRs when firing at less than 100% power.
