Schneider Electric: Alternating relay

The Schneider Electric Relay Competency Center has released the Square D® brand 8501KA series alternating relay, a cost-competitive alternative to existing alternating plug-in relays used in the pump industry to control multiple loads.

 The relay offers 12-amp contact ratings while using less space on the DIN rail. It also works well as a drop-in replacement in the MRO industry and offers features that appeal to OEM panel builders. Though specifically designed for the pumping industry, the unique design is suitable for any application requiring a device to provide switching capabilities to control multiple loads. Customers can reduce bearing and pump wear caused by long run times by using the relay’s ability to toggle the load between multiple devices.
