How long does your contactor last?
Posted in Carlo Gavazzi Switches by Alison on May 19th 2021
The standard life of an SSR is many times that of a mechanical contactor!
Carlo Gavazzi’s RG series of single-phase solid-state relays for power control applications, start at only 17.5mm wide providing a compact and space saving solution to optimise panel space. Whilst SSR’s may seem on the surface to be a costly option against standard mechanical contactors, failures due to contact wear and tear is entirely eliminated as there are no moving parts extending a products life time and reliability, this also helps to avoid costly maintenance and down-time.
All our SSRs AC or DC are designed for industrial use:
- 1-phase AC solid state relay
- No contact arcing, low EMI, high surge capability
- High resistance to shock and vibration
- High resistance to aggressive chemicals and dust
- No electro mechanical noise
- Logic compatibility
- Fast switching
- Low coupling capacitance
- Fast accurate switching control
- CE-cULus-VDE-EAC, and conforms to railway standard
