The Kinds Of HV Relay And Their Relevance

By Linda Moore


Relays are used as switches for mechanical systems or networks that need remote activation. This is because these systems have very high voltage values in terms of electrical current in use. These also need very good insulation values because they can injure people who get close, and the switching sets themselves need some good dielectric materials to float in, like high vacuum and transformer oil.

Companies that specialize in providing these relays provide excellent product qualities because of their engineering, testing and application sets. The HV relay is very important to industry, with large scale uses and applications, and the standards are demanding and exacting. You can track the various kinds of these gadgets through online sites and compare the types in use.

Here are the relevant types of switches that are commonly used. The first type is also the simplest, known as the single pole single throw switch with normally closed or open kinds. The switching in question offers the most direct system found in many applications, which is the simply use of off and on.

The thing called SPDT, or single pole double throw configures both close and open applications in one relay. Because it can offer continuity, this type is relevant to arrays of switches that can control large scale use. Heavy industry, factory operations, arrays for telecom and internet connections, and energy or utility companies all use it.

The DPDT or double pole double throw system is something used for systems that need constant switching. It has two double throw units operating in the relay and thus provides on and off qualities hermetic to its operation, only applicable to one part of a system. This is also used in large production or networked facilities.

The DPDT relays are compartmentalized, for example, to operate an automated machining process. When one part of the operation is over, it can be switched off by a bank of DPDTs while other operations continue. Thus it saves money for production processes, or is used for repair and maintenance servicing.

The bistable switch or latching relay is something that is also used for continuity. The rest of the relay types work with failsafes, meaning that their coils need to be constantly charge for operations to continue, while the latching relay can be switched with a short pulse. Monitoring systems can therefore still control supplementary processes during or after an operation.

These are often paired with special switches called contactors. These regulate very high rushes or overload values, from 100V to 1500V switches that normal switching cannot handle. These contactors will enable entire systems to switch at will even through capacity loads or maximum operations without hitches like burnt fuses and relays and other delays related to high voltages.

Relays and contactors come in many different kinds of voltage capacities, sizes and shapes to provide stability and safe operational procedures for industrial applications that need high voltage pulses. Each one is configured to address specific processes or volume distribution for all kinds of applications. Getting to know them requires that you know your specifications or switching needs.
