Omron has introduced two new relays developed from the existing product families, G7L and G8P, specifically to meet the needs and requirements of renewable energy systems such as electric solar inverter applications.
According to Omron, these applications demand durable power relays capable of switching loads of up to 30A, with a large contact gap of over 1.5mm to ensure dependable load isolation and a low coil hold ‘on’ power. The Omron G7L and G8P(BG) relays provide the ideal feature set for switching relay solutions in these types of applications. Furthermore both relays meet the AC7a switching category with 30Kops at 30A/230VAC and a power factor of 0.8.
The Omron G7L relay with two NO contacts features a sealed, PCB mounting package with mechanical dimensions of 52.5mm x 35.5mm x 41.0mm. The G7L provides a durable switching relay solution with two 30A load contacts, a contact gap of over 3mm for each contact and a low coil hold on voltage of 4.5V. Voltage loads of up to 280V can be supported.
With a power rating of 7500VA at one NO contact the Omron G8P(BG) is a compact, plastic sealed housing relay, suitable for PCB or panel mount applications. The G8P(BG) is capable of switching a maximum current load of 30A or a maximum AC voltage of 250V. Featuring a 2.0mm contact gap, the
G8P(BG) relay is available in an industry standard PCB mounting package with dimensions of 32.1mm x 27.2mm x 20.1mm.
Both relays have an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C and have VDE and UL/CSA ratings approval.
