What is an Electromagnetic Relay ?


Electromagnetic Relay Definition


An electromagnetic relay is a switch that uses an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switching operation, essential in various electrical protection systems.


 

Operation Principles


The working of electromagnetic relays involves principles like magnitude and ratio measurement, essential for understanding their functionality in electrical systems.


 

Types of Relays


  • Attracted Armature type relay

  • Induction Disc type relay

  • Induction Cup type relay

  • Balanced Beam type relay

  • Moving coil type relay

  • Polarized Moving Iron type relay


 

 

 

Induction Disc Operation


Induction disc relays generate motion and operate based on the interaction of magnetic fields and a rotating disc, a key component in energy measurement.


 

Relay Applications


Electromagnetic relays are crucial in managing electrical circuits by providing over-current protection, voltage regulation, and system stability.

Why Regular Transformer Maintenance Matters: 5 Serious Consequences of Neglecting It
I. Allowable TemperatureWhen a transformer is in operation, its windings and iron core generate copper loss and iron loss. These losses are converted into heat energy, causing the temperature of the transformer's iron core and windings to rise. If the temperature exceeds the allowable value for a long time, the insulation will gradually lose its mechanical elasticity and age.The temperature of each part of the transformer during operation is different: the winding temperature is the highest, fol

How to Implement Condition-Based Maintenance for Power Transformers? A Complete 4-Step Process Analysis
1. Definition of Condition-Based MaintenanceCondition-based maintenance refers to a maintenance method where decisions on whether and how to perform maintenance are determined based on the real-time operating status and health condition of equipment. It has no fixed maintenance methods or schedules. The prerequisite for condition-based maintenance is the establishment of equipment parameters and the comprehensive analysis of various operational information of the equipment, so as to make reasona

Traction Rectifier TransformersRated capacity: 800 to 4400 kVA; Voltage class: 10 kV and 35 kV; Rectifier pulse number: 12-pulse and 24-pulse. Compared with 12-pulse rectifier circuits, 24-pulse rectifier circuits can reduce the harmonic pollution of the power grid by 50%, and no filtering equipment is needed at this location. It is suitable for power supply systems of urban subways and rail transit.Excitation Rectifier TransformersRated capacity: 315 to 3000 × 3 kVA; Voltage class: 10 kV, 13.8

High harmonics? Your transformer may be overheating and aging fast.
This report is based on the analysis of one-day power quality monitoring data of your company's distribution system. The data shows that there is significant three-phase current harmonic distortion in the system (with a high total harmonic distortion of current, THDi). In accordance with international standards (IEC/IEEE), harmonic currents at this level have posed substantial risks to the safe, reliable, and economical operation of the power supply transformer, mainly manifested in additional h
