LUTRON PHPM-PA-120-WH Phase Adaptive Power Module

Phase-Adaptive Power Module

• Provides dimming control for 1 zone of a full 16 A lighting load.

• May be used to dim incandescent, halogen, electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-voltage, neon / cold cathode.

• Phase-adaptive technology automatically selects leadingedge or trailing-edge dimming for low-voltage transformers.

• Up to 3 power modules may be controlled by a single dimmer (C5-BMJ- will control only 1 module).

• Use PHPM-WBX- models for 3-wire fluorescent dimmer input and PHPM-PA- models for 2-wire input.

• PHPM-WBX- models can be used in conjunction with BCI-0-10 for 0 – 10 V dimming applications. For more information, see Application Note #516 (Lutron P/N 048516) at www.lutron.com

• Models available for control voltage of 120 V~ only or 220 – 277 V~.

Key Design Features

• Automatically selects between forward-phase / leading edge (e.g., magnetic low-voltage) and reversephase / trailing edge (e.g., electronic low-voltage) dimming / output based on connected load.
• Patented RTISS Equipped circuitry compensates in real time for incoming line voltage variations: Compensates for + / –2% change in RMS voltage/cycle and + / –2% Hz change in frequency/second.
• Provides air-gap off.
• Module protects itself during most temporary over-current and over-voltage conditions.
• Two LEDs on front of unit provide diagnostic information (visible when faceplate is removed).

Wiring

• 12 AWG (2.5 mm ) copper (Cu) wires (75 °C / 167 °F minimum) for input power and load circuit. 2

• Strip 1/2 in (12 mm) insulation from wires before connecting.

• Run separate neutral for load circuit; no common neutrals.

• May be used with GFI breaker protected loads. Load circuit wiring (from GFI breaker to power module to load) must be run in its own non-metallic conduit, or nuisance tripping may occur. Maximum 100 ft (30.5 m) between power module and load.

• May be used with AFI breaker protected loads. Maximum load on AFI circuit is 1000 W. Exceeding 1000 W may cause nuisance tripping of AFI breaker.
