Hi all. We have an application where we are cutting some plastic sheet (0.0025") wire a heated wire. We have the intention to supply our clients with systems having a 440 Vac supply (we are using 203/120 4 wires systems). The problem we have it's that we will need to add a 1500 VA x-former to our PLC panel in order to supply 120 Vac to our cutting wire DC card. We are using KBIC120 DC motor speed control card to supply the power to this wire. It needs 9 Amps and we kind a wish to get away without this "big" x-former. Those KBIC won't come with 440 supply... Do any of you have a hint for us on how to do this? We need the adjustable feature of the KBIC because the heated wire has to be adjusted for ambiant temp, air flow, etc, to make a good cut. The output is usually around 17 to 27 VDC and this low voltage is safer for humans... Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thancks! Pierre Desrochers Integral Instrumentation Inc. Montreal-Canada
