Omron Electronic Components Europe has expanded its sealed-type power relay portfolio with a 36A model extending its 16A and 20A devices. Its new sealed type G6QE-1A4 complements the existing G6QE relay lineup for flux protection.
The company's G6QE family can open and close large currents up to 36A while also coping with inverter loads. The new G6QE-1A4 type supplies high-capacity switching up to 480VAC, 36A, in a compact form. Energy-saving characteristics stem from reducing power consumption by approximately 12% compared with rated coil consumption by coil holding voltage (35% of coil rated voltage).
Safety is assured by IEC/EN60079-15 standards conforming to explosion-proof usage, with sealed equipment such as those employing refrigerants redesigned for usage with flammable green refrigerants to lower environmental impact. Commercial heating and cooling equipment, heat pumps, and commercial refrigerators require a larger control current of 16A or more and the need for sealed relay types. Energy saving is further enabled through low coil consumption enabled by reduced holding voltage.
