1618054-2

1618054-2 Application Field and Working Principle

The 1618054-2 is an electrically operated power relay used for controlling the movement of mechanical switches in many industrial settings. It has a special construction that makes it suitable for use in conditions where shock and vibration are encountered. The 1618054-2 is available in both single and double positions depending on the application.

Power Rating:

The 1618054-2 has a power rating of up to 175 amps and is UL approved for ratings up to 10,000VAC. The maximum power rating for DC operation is 125 amps.

Operation:

The 1618054-2 has a quick-trip mechanism, which requires the coil voltage to be removed within one second, and can be ordered with a special reset contact that trips off automatically when the supply is removed. This relay is also designed for use as a remote control device in some control systems.

Voltage Range:

The 1618054-2 is designed to operate at voltages of up to 28V DC or AC, and can be connected to ac or dc supplies. The operating voltage range is 0-16V DC or AC, but the maximum safe limit should be within 5V of the coil voltage.

Mounting:

The 1618054-2 is designed for a DIN rail or panel mounting, and can be provided with a bracket or support to fit standard DIN rail or panel configuration. The dimensions are 100x60x50mm, so it is suitable for use in most applications.

Switching Capacity:

The 1618054-2 can switch up to 250V AC and 25V DC, with a contact rated current of up to 10 amps. It is also possible to get the relay with a limited switching capacity, which is suitable for very low voltage applications. The switching capacity can be increased by up to 20 amps if the relay is supplied with a special switching contact.

Contacts:

The 1618054-2 has three ends, the normally closed contact, the normally open contact, and the common contact. The specially designed contacts of the 1618054-2 have a specifically designed contact surface which ensures reliable and low contact resistance. This makes it possible to maintain contact during shock and vibration.

Protection:

The 1618054-2 is provided with resilient plastic cover which gives a certain degree of protection against shocks and vibration. The contact surface inside the relay is also covered with a rubber seal, which prevents the contacts from sticking.

Working Principle:

When the coil is supplied with power, the armature of the relay is drawn inwards, which causes the contacts to close. The contacts can then control an electrical circuit. When the coil voltage is removed, the armature is released and the contacts open. The armature can also be reset manually.

Advantages:

The 1618054-2 is an ideal power relay for controlling electrical circuits in industrial settings due to its high power rating, quick-trip mechanism and specially designed contact surface which gives reliable contact during shock and vibration. It is also a very reliable and economical device.
