Working Principle

The working principle of a 6-1618007-3 power relay is based on basic electric principles. It consists mainly of two main parts, namely an actuating device and a contact device. In its most basic form, the actuating device is an electromagnet with an iron core and a coil. The contact device contains two types of contacts, namely normally open and normally closed.

When an electric current is applied to the coil of the actuating device, the electromagnetism generated creates a magnetic field that attracts the armature. This armature is connected to the contacts of the contact device. Depending on the type of contacts, the electrical circuit either closes or opens, controlling the flow of electricity.

The strength of the electric current applied to the coil of the actuating device determines the amount of force to be generated in order to close or open the contacts. With higher electric current, more force can be generated to close or open the contacts. As a result, 6-1618007-3 power relays are available in various power ratings depending on the amount of current they require.

6-1618007-3 power relays also contain a variety of safety features designed to protect the electrical circuit and components from any damage due to over current or voltage. Some common features include over current and overvoltage protection, as well as a fuse-like device called the restive element.

Overall, the 6-1618007-3 power relay is a versatile and cost-effective electromechanical device used in a wide variety of applications. It provides power to an electrical circuit while offering protection against overload and overvoltage. The power relay is also easy to install, allowing users to configure the device according to their specific requirements.
