LY2-D DC48

Ly2-D DC48 is a common type of power relay in the over 2 Amp category. The power relay serves an important function in many control systems, as it allows programmable switches and breakers to be powered and controlled remotely. Its various features make it particularly useful in applications where high-current operation is desired.

It has an operating voltage of 48 Volts DC and a contact current rating of up to 8.2 Amps. The device is a floating contact type with an output rating of 3 Watts. The relay contacts are normally open, meaning that they are normally in a "state of rest" and electrically disconnected. When the coil of the relay is energized by a DC voltage source, the contacts close and form an electrical connection. The relay can be used to activate loads connected to the output, such as breakers or switches, through the energized contacts.

The relay has a response time of 15 milliseconds to ensure reliable switching. The relay has a variety of safety features such as a low-power coalescing filter to prevent false triggering in the event of a power surge, along with a mechanical lock-out mechanism. This ensures that the relay contacts remain in a closed position until a signal is received from the power source to open them.

The Ly2-D DC48 is also equipped with a diode protection circuit to guard against voltage spikes, which can damage sensitive equipment. This power relay also incorporates an Arc-Flash protection feature, which prevents dangerous sparks from forming in a livewire environment.

The Ly2-D DC48 power relay is designed to safely work with any DC voltage source from 24 Volts up to 230 Volts. It can work with devices that require a continuous high-current operation, such as electric water heaters, electric dryers, and other high-energy applications.

It is also possible to use the power relay to control multiple devices from one source. This versatility makes it especially useful for complex industrial and commercial applications where equipment needs to be switched on and off remotely. In addition, it can be used with programmable logic controllers for applications requiring automated switching.

The Ly2-D DC48 power relay is designed with a high-degree of safety and automation. It is UL and VDE approved, making it a safe and reliable solution for industrial and commercial applications. By combining its features with its wide range of power applications, the Ly2-D DC48 power relay can provide a reliable and efficient power management solution.
