UL certified solid state relay and contactor combination

06 October 2010

Carlo Gavazzi has introduced a UL certified solid state relay and contactor combination in a compact 17.5mm wide package. The new RG series includes RGS panel mounted models rated up to 600Vac and 90A ac, plus RGC versions with integrated heat sink rated to 20A ac in 17.5mm, and 30A ac in 22.5mm widths. With nominal ratings at 40°C and (5KA) 100kA short circuit capability, this new range can be used to provide silent switching of heaters and motors.

All solid state relays and contactors in the series are VDE approved and designed in accordance with the latest EN/IEC62314 norms. They are robust and reliable, resisting up to 5g of vibration and featuring integrated over-voltage protection across the output.

The new RG relays are controlled via a 4-32Vdc, 24-190Vdc or 20-275Vac input, and there is a choice of either zero cross or instant ON (random) main voltage switching versions.
