Relays

What is a Relay?

Relays are electrically operated switches that open and close circuits receiving electrical signals from external sources. The relays built into electrical products work in a similar way; they receive an electrical signal and send the signal to other equipment by turning the switch on and off. The three main functions of relays are to allow a small amount of electrical current to control high current loads, send different types of electrical signals, and drive multiple outputs with just one input.

Why Choose E. Preston?

We are an official distributor and wholesaler of relays from brands such as Crouzet, Crydom and Finder. These are well known companies in their fields with excellent reputations for the quality of their products.

What really sets us aside from our competition is our choice and range of relays – you really don’t need to look anywhere else for your requirements.

As we have been operating for over forty years, we have developed a fantastic relationship with our suppliers. This benefits us in two main ways: We gain access to the widest choice of components from those suppliers, and secondly, they sell us those components at competitive prices because we purchase such significant volumes. We are able to pass on those competitive prices to you, our customer.

We have a large stockholding of our products at our warehouse in Dukinfield, Cheshire in the UK. This stock means that our product availability is consistently high, and we can get your order for stock items out to you in a 24 to 48 hour time frame.

Eaton Moeller Series - SPPVT2/T12 xPole Surge Protection

Image
SPPVT Pic

The plug-in surge arresters SPPVT2 and SPPVT12 are developed especially for photovoltaic applications. They protect the installations against transient overvoltages that can be induced by direct or indirect lightning strikes.

SPPVT12: Homes with rooftop solar PV installations represent an additional vulnerability that requires surge protection. Usually this requires Type 1/2 combinations, for DC protection - based on whether the building has also a requirement for an external lightning protection system. SPPVT12 is developed especially for photovoltaic applications and protects the installations against transient overvoltages induced by direct lightning strikes.

SPPVT2: Type 2 PV surge protection is required, when there is no risk for direct lightning strikes but indirect surges can occur. SPPVT2 protects the inverter and installations against transient overvoltage due to switching and indirect lightning strikes.

These surge arresters are suitable for a wide range of surge protection in a large number of systems.
