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 ...

This new three -phase test instrument addresses the increasing need for three-phase testing capability in electrical distribution substations, renewable power generation stations and industrial ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...

Smaller, lighter and with a higher output power than other three-phase instruments, Megger’s SMRT 36 smart protective relay test set is suited not only for testing today’s installations and legacy ...

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has released new G3VH SiC-MOSFET relays with voltage ratings of 3,300V and 1,800V, delivering solid-state power-switching advantages at bus and battery voltages up ...

Relays are common electromechanical devices in electrical circuits that come in two types: either latched or non-latched. Latched relays retain their last switch position even after complete power ...

Panasonic has set up two European relay test laboratories, both near Munich, which will also analyse the company’s other electromechanical products. “The equipment in the labs comprises high-voltage, ...

We like our nice, safe, 5V prototyping projects where the only thing that might get fried is a chip. But there are times when you want to switch appliances for one reason or another and then you’re ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...
