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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

A motor contactor has all contacts working with the same function. Force-guided relays also have a smaller gap tolerance and move more slowly because of design requirements that provide greater ...

Due to the wide variety characteristics of the induction motor, it plays the premier role in the industrial sector. Some of those are self starting, rugged construction, high efficiency, good power ...

Motor control centers (MCCs) were first introduced in 1937 as a way to conserve wall and/or floor space in industrial facilities. Before 1960, wall-mounted motor starters were used even if only a few ...
