This chapter covers representative general-purpose relays used in the control circuits of most industrial, commercial, and consumer products. Relay names and terminology are in accordance with ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

Electromagnetic contactors and relays serve as fundamental components in modern electrical systems, providing reliable switching mechanisms in applications ranging from power distribution to ...

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 ...

Reed relays have evolved from their audio roots to handle GHz signals; MEMS technology may push them aside. This section ...
