Power Relay

Power relays switch real load rather than signals, using a low-power coil to make and break currents that would destroy a general purpose relay's contacts. Panels call for them when a plug-in relay has burnt out under a load too big for it, when a full contactor would be oversized and wasteful for the duty, or when a socket-mounted device has to carry more current than sockets usually see.

 

As an authorized electrical distributor for multiple manufacturers, we stock power relays from IDEC, Finder and more across competing lines, in a range of coil voltages, base types and contact configurations, so you can match the coil voltage and base the panel supplies, compare contact configurations and amperage ratings across brands, and switch a load without oversizing to a contactor.
