WAGO Power Relays are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications to control large electrical loads, such as motors, heaters, and lighting systems.

What are Power Relays?

WAGO Power relays are reliable electromechanical devices that are used to control the flow of electrical power in a circuit. WAGO Power relays consist of a coil, which generates a magnetic field when a current flows through it, and a set of contacts that are mechanically switched by the magnetic field. When the coil is energised, the contacts close, allowing current to flow through the relay and to the load. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts open, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current.

Uses of WAGO Power Relays:

Power relays are used in a wide range of applications where electrical power needs to be controlled. Some common examples of applications where power relays are used include:

• Motor control: Power relays are used to control the operation of electric motors in various industrial and commercial applications, such as pumps, conveyors, and HVAC systems.
• Lighting control: Power relays are used to control lighting systems, such as streetlights, outdoor lighting, and indoor lighting in commercial and industrial buildings.
• Heating and cooling systems: Power relays are used to control the operation of heaters and cooling systems, such as air conditioners and refrigeration units. WAGO relays operate at minimum temperatures as low as -40 degrees with maximum temperatures of 85 degrees.
• Power distribution: Power relays are used to switch power between different parts of an electrical system, such as between a main power source and a backup power source.
• Power factor correction: Power relays are used to correct the power factor in electrical systems, which helps to improve the efficiency of the system. WAGO relays with coils have power ranging from 1500W to 4000W and voltage of 12 V DC or 24 V DC.
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS): Power relays are used in UPS systems to switch between different power sources, such as between a battery backup and a main power source.
• Security systems: Power relays are used in security systems to control the operation of various devices, such as door locks, alarms, and cameras.
