Finder Relays Handle Rigours of Photovoltaic (PV) Applications

February 16, 2011

Finder.jpg

Finder has extended its relay range with versions designed to suit photovoltaic (PV) inverters, domestic appliances and other equipment needing reinforced insulation, high ambient temperature handling and full disconnection contacts.  The latest product introductions comprise the 45.31 16A rated mini PCB relay and 3 special variants of the 66 Series 30A rated power relays.

With an extended 3mm contact gap, the single pole NO 45.31 relay meets the requirements of the EN60730-1 standard for household use and is rated for operation at an ambient temperature up to 105ºC.  It has a high sensitivity 24V DC coil rated at 360mW.  In common with the 66 Series specials, the 45.31 has been designed with an 8mm clearance and creepage distance, ensuring safe separation of supply and output, and reinforced insulation between coil and contacts, meeting the requirements of EN60335-1 (VDE0700).

The 2 pole NO (DPST-NO) 66.22-x600, 66.22-x600S and 66.82-x600 30 amp power relays ensure a contact gap separation of 1.5mm, fully meeting the requirements of the VDE0126-1-1 standard for PV inverter applications.  In addition, the 600S variant provides a 5mm airgap between relay base and PCB for extra cooling particularly in systems where forced air cooling is employed as with many PV inverters.

For added flexibility, the 66 Series relays provide the options of PCB and flange mounting and Faston 250 terminations.  A 35mm rail mounting adaptor is also available.  A wide range of coil voltages is offered, spanning from 6V through to 125VDC.

December 8, 2010

clogo.jpg

Employing Crydom’s proven DC solid state switching technology, the new LVD series provides a simple means of disconnecting batteries from their loads to prevent operational problems or damage resulting from deep cycle discharge.

.

Crydom’s new "LVD" series of DC output Low Voltage Disconnect Solid State Switches is designed to disconnect 12 or 24 volt battery systems from their loads when the battery voltage falls below a pre-selected DC voltage. The LVD will also automatically reconnect the load circuit once the battery voltage returns to a normal value after charging. The LVD series is offered in a rugged industry standard encapsulated panel mount package with screw terminals.

The Crydom LVD series requires no operator interface to interrupt or reconnect the battery circuit. Featuring all solid state construction with a low Rds on resistance FET outputs rated at 40, 60, 80 or 100 amps maximum, the LVD series is available with 6 different threshold voltages to choose from. The LVD series is RoHS & China RoHS compliant.

Finder 77 Series Solid State Relays Deliver Silent, High-Speed, Long Life Switching

July 16, 2010

Finder.jpg

Finder has introduced a pair of solid state relays for silent, high-speed switching of single and 3-phase loads rated at up to 5A.  The 77 Series relays’ 300A peak current handling capability makes them particularly suitable for use with high inrush current loads, including electronic starters and igniters for fluorescent and gas discharge lamps.

Two 77 Series relay variants are available:  ‘zero-crossover’, minimising voltage and current stresses to improve reliability and greatly reduce EMI, and ‘instant switching’, ensuring a consistent time between relay input and output, of importance where simultaneous switching is desirable as in 3-phase switching.

The relays have a single AC output and can be specified with either AC or AC/DC control inputs for added flexibility.  5kV insulation between input and output assures a high level of application safety and security.  Provided in a compact 17.5mm wide housing for 35mm rail mounting, the 77 Series also features an LED operational status indicator and an integral heat sink.

The solid state relay’s spark- and bounce-free switching characteristics ensure a virtually infinite electrical life, of particular benefit in high-speed, repetitive applications and in domestic and office environments, where electrical interference needs to be kept to the absolute minimum.
