This chapter covers representative general-purpose relays used in the control circuits of most industrial, commercial, and consumer products. This chapter covers representative general-purpose relays ...

Application areas and power ratings are the two main factors that differentiate relays from contactors though both styles of devices may use the same basic switching mechanisms. Relays and contactors ...

When voltage sags occur inside or outside of a facility, properly placed power quality mitigation technology will save sensitive equipment from costly shutdowns. The cost of this mitigation equipment ...

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce our newest generation of solid state relays and contactors, the RG Series. This new range of AC and DC solid state switching devices is an ideal solution for ...

When we think of relays, we tend to think of those big mechanical things that make a satisfying ‘click’ when activated. As nice as they are for relay-based computers, there are times when you don’t ...

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load ...
