Lighting (Drive) Control Inc
Manufacturers of the "Kill-A-Watt" Energy Saving Lighting Controller.

D.C.T Power Controller for Heating Systems

Description:

The DCT control system is an energy conservation tool designed for heating element. It is flexible, programmable dimming system that gives you absolute control at your fingertips. With this system you can manage energy usage effectively and efficiently.

The DCT is a power controller for resistance, inductive or capacitive loads operating in one or three-phase network in a star or delta connection.

The controllers are practical, affordable and easy to install and maintain. With a single, small, compact wall-mountable enclosure, with no moving parts, no electronic parts and no filters, you can reduce your energy costs.

About The System

At the heart of the DCT unit is an intelligent microprocessor, capable of sensing the various
The DCT unit is built with our new patented magnetic transformer, controlled by a PLC. This PLC enables the user to control the heating levels while maintaining the sine wave, eliminating harmonics and maintaining the proper power factor.

DCT microprocessor-controlled heating systems have the ability to control the wattage range in different industrial heating applications..
