SnapLink Relays
are rated at 277Vac 20Amps. Standard panels are
shipped with Normally Closed relays so that the relay will be on during
hook up and will default to ON when power is lost. This is especially nec-
essary for emergency circuits but is also very useful on normal circuits
during maintenance. Normally Open relays are also available.
SoftStart relays
can be identified by a small box next to the terminal
block. Soft Start relays are only rated for use on 120Volt incandescent
lamp circuits. Please make sure that they are correctly connected and that
any changes made in the field uses them on incandescent loads. They will
not be damaged by switching Fluorescent loads or being run at 277 but
the extra money spent on the relay will give no benefit.
@Zero relays
may be used on any type of load. They have a solid state
section that turns ON and OFF the relay at the zero cross point to reduce
contact burn. They should be used for loads that require frequent cycling.
They have a life of at least 250,000 throws and should last for close to a
million throws.

600 Volt 2 pole relays
. These take up two
single pole relay spaces and are mechanically
linked 2 pole relays. They are used for dual
277Vac circuits that require a higher rating
(480Vac) than the standard 277 Vac relays.
These relays will be mounted in a special sec-
tion since they do not fit under the usual barri-
er.
2 Pole relays are driven by alternate outputs
from the control card. Thus if output 1 is driv-
ing a 2 pole, output 3 would be unused.
