Magnetic Latching Relay
Bi-stable OperationZero Power HoldHigh Reliability

Magnetic Latching Relay

AIMRSE's Magnetic Latching Relays are designed for energy-efficient switching in critical circuits where maintaining contact position during power loss is essential. Utilizing a permanent magnet and a pulse-driven coil, they require only a brief pulse of power to switch states, after which they remain latched without continuous coil energization. This eliminates coil heating, reduces energy consumption, and enhances overall system reliability. Ideal for smart meters, tariff control, automatic transfer schemes, and battery-backed systems, these relays offer long mechanical life, high load-switching capacity, and exceptional resistance to shock and vibration.

Technical Deep Dive: Engineered for Safety & Precision

Air Circuit Breaker Technology

Our ACBs represent the pinnacle of low-voltage power interruption technology. The heart of the system is the microprocessor-based trip unit, which samples current waveforms thousands of times per second, applying advanced algorithms to distinguish between harmless temporary overloads and genuine fault currents. The arc chute assembly employs a series of de-ion plates that split, cool, and extinguish the arc rapidly. High-breaking capacity models utilize specially formulated silver-tungsten or silver-graphite contacts for exceptional electrical conductivity and resistance to welding. All units undergo rigorous testing per IEC 60947-2, including making and breaking tests at maximum rated short-circuit current and endurance tests exceeding 10,000 mechanical operations.

Residual Current Protection Dynamics

AIMRSE RCCBs employ a high-precision summation current transformer (toroidal core) and a sensitive magnetic latch release mechanism. For Type A devices, advanced electronic circuitry is integrated to properly evaluate pulsating DC leakage currents, which are common in circuits with rectifiers (e.g., VFDs, EV chargers). Key performance metrics include non-delay tripping at 0.5x IΔn, guaranteed tripping within 300ms at 1x IΔn, and non-tripping at 0.5x IΔn. They are designed with high immunity to voltage surges (impulse withstand voltage >6kV) and are tested for correct operation under extreme temperature and humidity conditions as per IEC 61008/61009.

Solid-State Switching & Control

Our Solid-State Relays and advanced controllers leverage semiconductor physics for unparalleled reliability. SSRs use optically coupled Triacs or back-to-back SCRs for AC switching, with snubber circuits to manage dv/dt. The zero-crossing detection circuit ensures switching occurs as the AC waveform passes through zero volts, drastically reducing EMI. Reactive Power Controllers utilize fast digital signal processors (DSPs) to perform real-time calculations of reactive power (kvar), often incorporating algorithms to avoid capacitor switching transients and to provide harmonic spectrum analysis up to the 50th order for system diagnostics.

Surge Protection & System Coordination

The intelligence of a surge protection system lies in proper coordination between Type 1, 2, and 3 SPDs. Our devices are characterized by key parameters: Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (Uc), Voltage Protection Level (Up), Nominal Discharge Current (In), and Maximum Discharge Current (Imax). Using energy-coordinated designs and defined let-through voltage levels, we ensure that downstream SPDs activate only if the upstream device cannot handle the surge energy, providing a staged defense. All SPDs incorporate thermal disconnection fuses that permanently disconnect the MOV block in case of thermal overload, preventing fire risk, while maintaining the neutral-earth connection for system safety.

Our in-house laboratories perform type tests, including short-circuit breaking tests, temperature rise tests, dielectric tests, and endurance tests, guaranteeing performance and safety as specified.

Technical FAQ

How do I select the correct breaking capacity (Icu) for an ACB in my system?
The required breaking capacity must be equal to or greater than the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation. This value is determined by a short-circuit study, considering transformer impedance, cable lengths, and other sources. As a rule of thumb, for a standard industrial transformer, Icu should be at least 50kA for systems up to 1000kVA. AIMRSE provides selection software and engineering support to accurately determine this critical parameter.
What is the difference between Type A and Type AC RCCBs, and where should each be used?
Type AC RCCBs are designed to detect sinusoidal alternating residual currents only. Type A RCCBs can detect both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. Type A is now recommended or required for circuits supplying equipment containing rectifiers (e.g., washing machines, variable speed drives, EV chargers, IT equipment), as these can produce DC leakage components that a Type AC device may not detect, creating a potential safety gap.
Can your Solid-State Relays be used for DC load switching?
Yes, we offer dedicated DC output SSRs. It is crucial to select the correct type. AC SSRs use thyristors/TRiACs and are not suitable for DC. DC SSRs use Power MOSFETs or IGBTs. Key specifications for DC SSRs include maximum load voltage (e.g., 60V, 100V, 200V DC), load current, and the need for a heat sink based on power dissipation. Our technical datasheets provide detailed guidance and derating curves.
What is the expected service life of a Surge Protection Device?
The service life depends on the number and energy of surges it absorbs. MOV-based SPDs have a finite lifespan measured in Joule absorption capacity. Most of our Type 2 SPDs are rated for a minimum of 100 surge events at their nominal discharge current (In). All devices feature a visual status indicator (often green/red) that shows the functional state. We recommend periodic inspection (at least annually) and replacement if the indicator shows failure or after a known major surge event (e.g., direct lightning strike nearby).
Do your Timer Relays support cyclic (flasher) operation and external reset?
Yes, many of our multi-function digital timer relays include a "flasher" or "pulse generator" mode, which produces a continuous ON/OFF output with independently adjustable ON time and OFF time. Most models also feature an external reset input (via a dry contact or voltage signal) that allows an external control system to reset the timing cycle or force the output to a known state, which is essential for automated sequencing and safety interlocks.
