Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

PWM relays allow engineers to go beyond simple "on-off" control to realize significant power savings and reduced heat ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

What role does an SPDT relay play in test applications? What are the benefits of a MEMS-based switch? Performance advantages over legacy technology. Electromechanical relays (EMRs) are common ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

ISA has announced the new DRTS 66, a powerful and accurate test set for protective relays, energy meters (class 0.1), transducers and power quality meters. The unit is controlled from the front panel ...

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has introduced a new range of G3VM MOSFET relays designed to deliver faster switching performance in an exceptionally small footprint, targeting advanced test and ...

Last column, I wrote about various applications where fire alarm relays could be used to integrate a commercial fire alarm system with other electrical systems at a customer’s site to provide them ...
