How does 50 Hz operation affect Valvcon electric actuators?
The operating specifications and information provided for Valvcon actuators are stated for operation at 60 Hz. When operating at 50 Hz, the cycle time of the actuator increases approximately 15% (gets slower). Duty cycle must be reduced by approximately 15% to increase the rest time necessary. Operation at 50Hz most often applies to international 230VAC systems.
