Watlow's E-SAFE® II Hybrid Power Switch

E-SAFE II Power Switch

Watlow's new patent pending E-SAFE® II hybrid power switch. E-SAFE II provides reliable and accurate power switching for the foodservice industry. E-SAFE II offers a switching life of four million cycles at 35 amperes at a high ambient temperature rating of 70°C (158°F) providing superior performance in foodservice applications such as conveyor and convection ovens, grills and fryers. The inherent fast cycle time provides a complimentary product for time proportioning PID controllers. The E-SAFE II features Watlow's patent pending NO-ARC technology, allowing it to switch millions of cycles while decreasing noise and increasing temperature accuracy.

The switching mechanism of Watlow's E-SAFE II is a hybrid solid state and mechanical relay. This allows faster cycling and more precise control, which helps contribute to energy savings, extended heater life and lower overall costs.

In addition, E-SAFE II does not require the use of heat sinks even while operating in a 70°C (158°F) environment. E-SAFE II product features include a single-phase, dual-phase and three-phase device. It encompasses the ability to switch 35 amperes with a single command signal tied to a diagnostic LED. The

E-SAFE II also requires no heat sink and operates in high temperature environments, which makes it an excellent choice for your foodservice equipment power switching requirements.
