Latching high voltage relays make sense
Gigavac has created ten new latching high voltage relays that are completely sealed and rated from 8 to 70kV.
HV relay is more compact for 30-75A applications
A new device solves size, weight and cost issues for 30 to 75A high voltage relay applications.
The G13 is designed with mounting flexibility and simplicity of installation.
It can be mounted in any position using either the jam nut supplied for through-chassis installations or the conveniently located mounting tabs on top.
It comes equipped with 300mm high-voltage flying leads.
Plus, custom length cables are available that eliminate the need for special wiring.
According to Sales VP Jim Lanum: "In the past, switching 15kV between power sources or loads has required the use of two double throw relays".
"Now, we have developed a small, inexpensive 15kV DPDT relay that replaces those old relays and handles the high inrush current when switching occurs".
"The SF6 gas inside the G13 has many benefits; including high-voltage standoff capabilities that ionise during contact closure increasing the ability to switch high current inrush loads".
The G13 is a double pole, double throw (2 form C) configuration with 300mm or custom-length high voltage flying leads that make connection easy.
Coil voltages are 12, 26.5 and 115V DC or customised; and have Gigavac's exclusive changeable coil feature allowing users to change the coil even after the relay has been installed.
Most popular models are in stock with special orders available within two weeks.
For example, in quantities of 25 units, the price of the G13 is $252 each. Request a free brochure from Gigavac ...
