An overview of power relays
Like their signal relay counterparts, power relays are devices that use a low-power signal to control a high-power circuit. While all relays control power, not all relays are correctly termed “power relays,” which are specifically designed to handle high-level current switching from several amps to much larger amounts. A power relay’s built-in capacity to control […]
