What is Relay?

A relay is an Electro-Mechanical switch that changes a low release current into mechanical movement. A polarized relay consists of a soft-magnetic circuit formed by an Armature and a Yoke as shown in above fig.

Relay components for human safety

These parts are made in 80% NiFe or 48% NiFe material. These parts require very high permeability and the contact area needs to have very high surface finish, flatness and cleanliness. These parts are used in Earth Circuit Leakage Breakers (ELCB) or Residual Current Devices (RCDs) for Human Safety.

PML provides these components with high surface finish and excellent magnetic properties as follows:

  • Surface Finish:
    • Roughness value(Ra) = 0.02 microns max.
    • Flatness = 1 light band max.
  • Magnetic properties:
    • For 45% Ni:Fe : AC Permeability at 5 mOe = 12000
    • For 80% Ni:Fe : AC Permeability at 40 gauss = 85000
  • Cleanliness for checking:
    • Cleanliness level = Class 100

Relay components handled in such clean environment, with such high surface finish and magnetic properties ultimately serves as excellent relay.
