Basler MOC2102 Potentiometer

The Basler MOC2102 is a precision potentiometer designed for use in generator control systems, voltage regulators, and excitation control panels. It provides manual adjustment of control signals such as voltage setpoint, stability, or droop. This potentiometer is engineered for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments and is compatible with a wide range of Basler Electric equipment.

Key Features

The MOC2102 features a rugged construction with a smooth rotation feel and positive detent stops. It is designed for panel mounting with a standard bushing and shaft configuration. The potentiometer offers a linear or logarithmic taper depending on the application. It is built with high‑quality resistive elements and wipers for long‑term stability and repeatability.

Technical Specifications

Resistance value: 2 kΩ to 10 kΩ (typical). Power rating: 2 W. Taper: linear or audio. Rotation angle: 300° mechanical, 280° electrical. Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C. Shaft diameter: 6 mm. Mounting: panel mount with locking nut. The potentiometer is designed for use with low‑voltage control circuits.

Operating Principles

The potentiometer operates as a variable voltage divider. When the shaft is rotated, the wiper moves along the resistive element, changing the output voltage proportionally. This variable voltage is used as a reference or control signal for regulators and controllers.

Applications

This potentiometer is used in generator control panels, AVR systems, and excitation controls for manual adjustment of setpoints. It is suitable for new installations and as a replacement part for existing systems.

Installation and Configuration

Mount the potentiometer in a panel cutout using the provided hardware. Connect the three terminals as per the circuit diagram. No configuration is required; the potentiometer operates according to the applied circuit.

Maintenance and Reliability

Routine inspection of connections and rotation smoothness is recommended. The potentiometer is built with durable materials for long service life. Periodic cleaning of the shaft may be required in dusty environments.

Conclusion

The Basler MOC2102 potentiometer provides precise and reliable manual adjustment for generator control systems, ensuring accurate setpoint control in industrial applications.
