G2R-1-AC6 Relays

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The G2R-1-AC6 is a power relay designed for applications that require a control over 2 amps. It is a single-pole, double throw type of relay that has a normally open (NO) contact and a normally closed (NC) contact. The G2R-1-AC6 also has a built-in over-current sensing and protection circuit. This circuit stops the relay from operating once the current exceeds the maximum allowable current rating. The G2R-1-AC6 is capable of handling up to 40 amps of current and switching is possible up to 10kW maximum.

Applications

This power relay is commonly used in industrial control applications that require a form of motor starter. It finds its use in various machine controls, heating and air conditioning systems, lighting and ventilation systems, pumps, and press controls. It can also be positioned in locations where a low-power, high-current capacity is needed. Examples of this include door openers, vending machines, and equipment controlling.

Working Principle

The G2R-1-AC6 utilizes an electromagnet to act as the relay\'s main switch. When the current is supplied to the electromagnet, the switch is activated. This causes the relay to open and close its contacts. The contacts can be either normally open or normally closed depending on the application. When power is removed from the electromagnet, the switch returns to its initial state. There is also an internal current sensing and protection circuit that helps protect from over-current or short-circuit scenarios.

The G2R-1-AC6 is also designed with an isolation barrier between the low-voltage control circuit and the high-voltage load circuit. This offers improved levels of safety and protection against accidental electrocution or fire. In addition to this, the relay also has a wide temperature range, making it suitable for tough industrial environments where extreme temperatures are common.

Conclusion

The G2R-1-AC6 power relay is a high-power, single-pole, double-throw device with an integrated over-current sensor. It is suitable for applications that require a motor starter or a control mechanism up to 40 amps and 10 kW maximum. The device comes with an internal isolation barrier that adds to its safety, and it is also designed to operate in extreme temperatures. The G2R-1-AC6 has found its use in various industries, allowing automation and control with a reliable and simple device.
