Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

ABB, the original FT switch manufacturer, continues to deliver a product for in-service testing of relays, meters and instruments by any conventional system. ABB has announced the 50-year anniversary ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...

Distributed generation, also known as embedded generation, is a hot topic at the moment. With more and more generation being connected to the network, those concerned with its stability have to deal ...
