Working Principle of the MK2KP AC120

The MK2KP AC120 is an electromechanical device, which uses an electromagnet to open and close contacts when energized. When input voltage is applied, the magnet inside the device is energized and the moveable armature is attracted by the magnet, thus closing the contacts and completing the circuit. The contacts then open when the input voltage is removed, thus breaking the circuit.

The MK2KP AC120 has several safety features designed to minimize the risk of electrical shock or fire. The internal electrostatically-shielded coil acts as a barrier, protecting the user from electrical shock. The MK2KP AC120 also features an internal diode, allowing current to flow in one direction only, and a built-in surge protection module to dissipate electrical spikes.
