Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...

AutomationDirect has added new motor control, phase monitor, alternating, pump seal, and intrinsically safe relays to its collection of relays. ProSense motor control relays from AutomationDirect ...

New capabilities have been added to this company's EtherNet/IP™ In-cabinet Solution, expanding support for additional motor ...

When voltage sags occur inside or outside of a facility, properly placed power quality mitigation technology will save sensitive equipment from costly shutdowns. The cost of this mitigation equipment ...

Relays, Contactors, and Motor Starters provides an overview of the primary components involved in electric motor control. Relays are electrical switches that control a circuit. When activated by ...

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

Motor control centers (MCCs) were first introduced in 1937 as a way to conserve wall and/or floor space in industrial facilities. Before 1960, wall-mounted motor starters were used even if only a few ...

Potential relays are commonly found on many smaller, single-phase, capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors in the HVACR industry. Their function is to assist in starting the electric motor. Potential ...

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) has introduced new features in the SEL-701 motor protection relay. These features include Acselerator QuickSet SEL-5030 software support and a ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.
