Interrupting low-voltage circuits handled by general-purpose relays is fairly straightforward. However, as circuit voltage increases, so too does the difficulty. Interrupting a kilovolt circuit with ...

1. The well-established relay-driving circuit uses an optocoupler to isolate the grounds and noise coupling between the low-voltage digital-control signal circuit (left) and the relay as load (right).

In general, a latching relay's drive circuit is slightly more complex than that of a classic relay. The traditional approach to driving a latching relay is to use an H-bridge circuit, which can be ...

Testing relays and their circuits in vehicles doesn’t always require a trip to the bench. With a few simple tools and ...

Even though the function of single phase and three phase relays are quite similar, their applications can vary significantly. This is primarily due to the characteristics of three phase power circuits ...

HV circuit breakers and protective relays in these settings protect large-scale electrical equipment, manage power flow and prevent damage from electrical disturbances.
