Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose the right general-purpose relay for my application?
Consider factors, such as the voltage & current requirements of your load, the switching capacity of the relay and the contact arrangement.
How to test Eaton D3 Series general purpose relays?
To test a general-purpose relay, use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the relay contacts. Users can also apply voltage to the relay coil and check if the contacts open and close properly.
How to calculate the power rating of a general-purpose relay?
Multiply the voltage and current ratings of the contacts. For example, a relay with contacts rated for 120VAC and 10A would have a power rating of 1200V
How are electromagnetic relays better than solid-state relays?
Electromagnetic relays can handle higher currents and voltages than solid-state relays.
