Influence on the relay life by a connected load
An actual relay life can be substantially shorter than the relay life curve depending on the type of a connected load and the
characteristics of its inrush current. (
Page 46 Relay life (contact switching life))
The inrush current generated by a connected load can lead to contact welding of the module. To prevent shortening of the
relay life and contact welding, take the following measures:
• Considering the possibility of a high inrush current, select a load so that the inrush current generated by the connected load
falls within the range of the rated current of the module.
• Connect a relay capable of withstanding the inrush current, outside the module.
The following table lists the relations between typical loads and each inrush current.
Select a load so that the inrush current, i, and rated current, io, fall within the range of the rated switching current described in
the module specifications. In some loads, the inrush current flows for a long time.
