    Approximate Age of YORK P-HDD16N09201B

    York HDD16N09201B without nameplates, so no serial number or other info. The model number comes from a sticker on the manual. I'm guessing it's between 15 and 20 years old, but don't see many small...

    Joey,
    Great!
    Thanks for your reply!

    Mechdorn, thanks for your reply.

    Sam,
    Thanks for your reply.

    The thrust of my original question was about whether significant leakage was likely enough, with modern, proprtionally controlled (pulsed) SCRs, that I should...

    Dave CR, thanks for your reply.

    I'm talking about something that goes beyond the "rated" leakage current that the shiny, new SCR allows. I wouldn't fuss about the 5 mA if it stayed there ......
  6. Sam, Thanks for your reply. If the...

    Sam, Thanks for your reply.

    If the proportional control voltage to an SCR is at 0V, and that SCR is delivering, say, 200 Watts to the heating element, I'd say it's leaking.

    I've seen...
  7. Proportional Electric Heat - Leaking SCRs?

    I'm anticipating using some Viconics 'stats to provide proportional control of some electric duct heaters. The heaters in question use pressure switches to enable them when air flow is present. As...

    Thanks for your reply.
    Right - motor-starting inrush current was what I was focused on.

    I'm completely baffled by the circuit it protects, I have to say ... either one of those condenser fans...

    You don't tell us enough to even guess a set point. Something in the piping needs the flow through it controlled. What is it?

    Typically, this control loop would include a VFD or a bypass valve. ...
