Let’s speak about static relays VS remote switches<\/strong>, that is, the control of equipments using static relays instead of remote switches. This is a typical application that we employ on our Tempco<\/strong> thermoregulation units<\/strong><\/a> in order to control the resistors<\/strong>, which are the heating components.<\/p>\n

That’s because, as already explained in the past, to have a very fine and accurate thermoregulation is very important for a variety of industrial sectors, ensuring a very precise intervention set-point<\/strong> on determined industrial production processes. Whether this processes are related to pharma<\/a>, plastics and rubber<\/a>, test benches<\/a>, and in general, industrial sectors requiring a very accurate control of the temperature set-point.<\/p>\n

In the past, it was common to employ remote switches to turn on and off the heating resistors. But remote switches<\/strong>, being electromechanical components, have some limits due to the fact that there are some electromechanical contacts responsible for turning on and off the power of the resistors, involving therefore a series of on and off cycles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These on and off cycles generate a wear of the contacts and on the medium-long term the breakage and failure on the remote switch of the resistors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This problem can then be solved by using static relays which are electric relays that do not have electromechanical contacts<\/strong> and therefore with no wear issues and allowing very quick on and off cycles<\/strong>, with no wear or idle time, thus providing a very accurate control of the temperature.<\/p>\n

We employ them as a standard solution on diathermic oil thermoregulating units<\/a> which involve very high temperature levels. But with their actual low cost, this is a solution that we employ also on lower power units, where all in all even a remote control switch or a relay could be sufficient. But a static relay offer some advantages in terms of safety and temperature regulation precision<\/strong> that really are undeniable.<\/p>\n
