Press Release Summary:

Operating on 115 or 230 VAC 50/60 Hz single phase power source, MGC Series SCR Control is designed for 90 or 180 VDC PMDC motors. Rated to 11 A maximum current and 50°C maximum temperature, unit provides 0.5G and + 0.1G on under and over 50 Hz vibration respectively. Using new current-limiting algorithm to prevent overshoot and reduces demagnetization, product offers 1.37 SCR form factor at rated speed.


Original Press Release:

New MGC Series Regenerative SCR Control for OEM Applications

Out-of-the-box multi-mode operation at a competitive cost

American Control Electronics (ACE) announces the MGC Series, a new microprocessor-based fully regenerative SCR control. An 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 demagnetization, which extends motor life.

Highlights of the MGC series include:

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