Product descriptions from the supplier
The GRB8 series is a control module that automatically switches on and off circuits based on ambient light intensity. By using a built-in precision photosensitive sensor to detect environmental brightness, the relay action can be automatically triggered under a set threshold, which is widely applicable to electrical equipment that requires linkage control of lighting conditions, achieving intelligent operation of "start at dark and stop at dawn".
Application of GRB8 series optical control relay products:
1. Intelligent public lighting
Widely used in lighting systems for public areas such as residential corridors, underground garages, and factory passages, achieving energy-saving control of "lights on when people come, lights off when people leave" and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
2. Outdoor equipment light sensing start stop
Automatically control outdoor lighting facilities such as street lights, courtyard lights, and landscape light strips, synchronize the timed opening and closing of advertising light boxes and neon signs, enhance commercial image, and optimize energy consumption.
3. Security linkage system
Cooperate with monitoring equipment, electronic fences and other security devices to automatically activate equipment operation in low light environments at night, strengthening the security guarantee of the venue.
4. Agricultural environmental regulation
Applied to greenhouse lighting systems, livestock and poultry breeding lighting, etc., it intelligently adjusts artificial light sources based on natural light intensity to assist in precision agricultural production.
5. Equipment automation
Suitable for vending machine displays, traffic signs, photovoltaic energy storage devices, etc. that require day night mode switching, achieving efficient energy utilization.
Advantages of GRB8 series optical control relay products:
1. Environment adaptive: Built in high-sensitivity photosensitive element, accurately responding to natural lighting changes
2. Flexible regulation: supports seamless switching between manual and automatic modes to meet diverse control needs
3. Space friendly: ultra-thin body design, saving electrical installation space
4. Safe and reliable: Compliant with mainstream electrical standards, compatible with globally applicable voltages
5. Status visualization: intuitive LED indication, real-time monitoring of equipment operation status

Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr01/29/2026 -
Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I01/29/2026 -
