RT134048 Datasheet/PDFThe RT134048 is a generic-intention power relay, tailored to work in harsh circumstances and particularly designed to handle currents higher than 2 Amps. The RT134048 is also known as ‘M-System’ or ‘M-Scope’.
Application Fields
The RT134048 is capable of operating with high levels of power and several types of motor control. The most common uses are in air conditioners, electric ovens, elevators and heating systems. Other applications include lighting systems, machine control, food processing machinery, and safety circuits. This power relay is also commonly used for controlling AC motors.
Working Principle
The RT134048 is based on an electromagnet actuating an armature, which is responsible for controlling the contacts. The motor power supply can be connected to a common (COM) terminal and through a NO contact. When the coil is de-activated, the COM terminal is connected to the normally open (NO) contact. As soon as the current passes through the coil, an electro-magnetic field is generated, that actuates the armature and moves the contacts. This is a general, short explanation of the working principle of the RT134048 power relay.
Advantages
The RT134048 comes with several advantages, such as its protection against dust, water, humidity, high and low temperatures, and shock. One of the major advantages of this power relay is its ability to handle currents of high power. Also, it is easy to install and use, making it the first choice for many technicians. Other advantages include high durability, low maintenance, and high load switching.
Conclusion
The RT134048 is a generic-intention power relay that is designed to work in harsh environments and is capable of handling current levels of over 2 Amps. With its numerous advantages and its capability of switching high-powered currents, the RT134048 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for many applications ranging from air conditioners to lighting systems, machine control and safety circuits.
