What is IDEC SmartRelay?

IDEC SmartRelay represents the universal IDEC logic module. IDEC SmartRelay integrates

IDEC SmartRelay offers solutions for domestic and installation engineering (e.g. for stairway lighting, external lighting, sun blinds, shutters, shop window lighting etc.), switch cabinet engineering and mechanical and apparatus engineering (e.g. for gate control systems, ventilation systems, or rainwater pumps etc.). IDEC SmartRelay can also be implemented for special control systems in conservatories or greenhouses, for control signal processing and, by connecting a communication module (e.g. ASi) for distributed local controlling of machines and processes. Special models without operator and display units are available for series production applications in small machine, apparatus, switch control and installation engineering.

What is a Circuit Breaker?

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electricalswitch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent/overload orshort circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after protective relaysdetect a fault. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation.

Generally used in a loadcenter, panelboard, or similar device, industrial miniature circuit breakers are a specific type of circuit breaker, used to switch and protect the lowest common distribution voltage in an electrical system.

Transformer is an electrical device that can transform electricity from high to low voltage and the other way around.

A simple transformer consists essentially of two coils of insulated wire. In most transformers, the wires are wound around an iron-containing structure called the core. One coil, called primary, is connected to a source of alternating current that produces a constantly varying magnetic field around the coil. The other supplies the power to a load and is called the secondary coil.

The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the numbers of turns in the secondary coil- the turns ratio-determines the ratio of the voltages in two coils. For example, if there is one turn in the primary and ten turns in the secondary coil, the voltage in the secondary coil will be 10 times that in the primary. Such transformer is called a step-up transformer.

If there are ten turns in the primary coil and one turn in the secondary the voltage in the secondary will be one- tenth that in the primary. This kind of transformer is called a step-down transformer.

Application of transformer:

The most important uses and application of transformers are:

It can increase or decrease the value of capacitor, an inductor or resistance In an AC circuit. It can thus act as an impedance transferring device.

It can be used to prevent DC from passing from one circuit to the other

It can isolate two circuits electrically.

Key Features

How relays work

Relays are simple switches which are operated both electrically and mechanically. Relays consist of an electromagnet and also a set of contacts. The switching mechanism is carried out with the help of the electromagnet. There are also other operating principles for its working. But they differ according to their applications. Most of the devices have the application of relays.

The main operation of a relay comes in places where only a low-power signal can be used to control a lot of circuits. It is also used in places where only signal can be used to control a lot of circuits.The high end applications of relays require high power to be driven by electric motors and so on. Such relays are called contactors.

Different types of relays

There are different types relays that are available for industrial use:

Solid-state relays, contactors, protective relays, digital protective relays, latching relay..etc..

The 135 Series Power Distribution Blocks have adequate spacing for most OEM and field applications due to their meeting UL 1953 (Power Block Standard) requirements.

They are listed for general installation, and they meet the feeder circuit terminal spacing requirements per UL508A section 10.2 (which is 1" through air and 2" over surface at 600V), so they can be used in "as supplied condition". The UL identifier on each block would also allow an inspector to complete an inspection faster, since there would be no need to check "conditions of acceptability".

The 135 Series Power Distribution Blocks comply with National Electric Codes (NEC) for use in service equipment, so they are suitable for applications where system components must be connected in the field, including industrial control panel feeder/branch circuits, splicing and tapping conductors in junction boxes, termination boxes, and similar applications. Since these blocks are UL Listed and service equipment rated, they can be used in the connection of modular tower sections for wind turbines, for large motor connections such as water lifting and material handling, and for interconnection of multiple panels in control and power distribution systems.

With finger-safe contact block offering IP20 protection, IDEC switches from the HW series are made with the best materials in the world. These internationally rated 22mm switches include illuminated and non ‑illuminated push buttons, pilot lights, selector switches, and emergency stops.
