This article outlines how EV manufacturers integrate temperature monitoring, current sensing, and fault detection into ...

The Contactron solid-state reversing contactor from Phoenix Contact combines four functions in a module that’s just 22.5 mm wide (see the figure). Designed for three-phase ac motors up to 4 kW/5 HP in ...

When designing equipment with switching functions, most engineers find that switching high currents and high voltages is a major problem. A solid-state solution may be possible, but it’s complex and ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.
