DC2-42UF

About the DC2-42UF

The Reliance Electric DC2 family includes the DC2-42UF controller.The controller is specifically performance matched to Reliance Electric DC motors for a compact controller/motor package.

The DC2-42UF contains a factory installed fuse that is located on the top of the device. The fuse is 250 VAC/25 amps.  

The controller accepts 1 phase power input. The required input voltage is 115 or 230VAC. At 115VAC, the controller is rated for 90V armature and 50V field supply. At 230VAC, the controller is rated for 180V armature and 100V field supply.

At 115 VAC, the horsepower of the DC2-42UF is between .25 and 1. When the DC2-42UF is at 230 VAC, the horsepower of a DC2-42UF is between .5 and 2. The controller is built with an open or plate style chassis. The power line frequency requirement is 50/60Hz. The DC2-42UF is rated for 10 input amps.

The features of the DC2-42UF controller include full-wave, half-controlled armature voltage rectifier; half-wave field supply for shunt wound DC motors; optional short circuit protection; line transient protection; armature current scaling; unidirectional operation; motor overload protection; and provisions for remote start, remote stop, and remote run/jog.

The DC2-42UF controller has a speed control feature. The method of speed control is by armature voltage regulation or motor mounted DC tachometer. The DC2-42UF controller has potentiometer motor speed adjustment and separately adjustable maximum and minimum speeds. The controller also has independently adjustable rates and adjustable current limit. The controller has armature voltage feedback scaling (90 or 180 volts) and adjustable IR drop compensation.

The DC2-42UF controller features run/jog capability for local or remote requirements.
