Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

Solid State Contactors (SSCs) and Solid State Relays (SSRs) are an ideal match for controlling dynamic loads like motors, particularly where multiple or frequent start/stop cycles are needed in an ...

Abstract: The actuator drivers are rarely transplanted among different contactors because the self-tuning of excitation control parameters either takes a long time or is relevant to many contactor ...

Relays and solenoids are available with many different voltage ratings. Most factory- and process-automation equipment operates from 24-V supplies. However, customers may have control signals for a ...

Manufacturers are investing huge sums into battery technology to maximize the range and performance of new electric cars. However, if you pop the hood of a modern EV, you might find a regular old ...

How often do you think about your HVAC system? For most homeowners, it’s hardly a blip on the radar until it breaks down, leaving you sweating buckets in the summer, shivering in the winter and ...
