If you work in the railway industry it is likely that you must regularly take a look at your electrical systems and safety mechanisms. Relays are an important feature in any railway or freight system and one of the most popular relays that we produce is the type 82 relay. In this article, we are going to detail some of the advantages of using one of these modern relays and what you can expect by making the upgrade:
What Is a Type 82 Relay?
A type 82 relay is a part of a solid-state re-closing system that prevents the closing of a DC breaker on a faulted line. The device offers load-side verification and monitoring and can act as an amazing safety relay. The breaker can also re close the relay on a clear line. This relay offers some excellent support in monitoring and it can be a highly useful device for maintaining line measurements. It is designed to be used on both light and heavy rail systems and has many advantages over older models.
Some of the top advantages you can see by changing over to one of our modern relays includes:
LED Meter - The LED meter is a fantastic way to get an accurate and easy to read measurement of the current. This is done by shining a light through a small window in the meter's casing.
“Load Measure” memory - The “load measure” feature allows you to take a quick snapshot of the current load on the system. This can be very useful if you need to take a look at what caused a problem or want to monitor the system closely.
Bi-Directional Load Measuring - The bidirectional load measuring feature is an important safety addition. It allows you to see not only the current flowing through the relay but also the direction. This can be very useful in the event of a fault as you can quickly see which way the current is flowing.
Voltage Compensating - The voltage compensating feature ensures that the relay is always operating at the correct voltage. This is important as it prevents any accidental overloading of the system.
These are just some of the advantages that you can see by using a type 82 relay. If you are looking for an upgrade from your old model, then we highly recommend making the switch to one of our modern relays. You won't be disappointed!
