Vacuum serves as the ideal dielectric medium for high-voltage relay operations due to its outstanding electrical properties. It offers:
- Exceptional voltage breakdown strength.
- Rapid recovery times of up to 10 kV per millisecond.
- A completely inert environment for switching contacts, ensuring no oxidation or degradation over time.
These characteristics make vacuum relays highly efficient, durable, and reliable for high-performance switching tasks.
Relay Types
INNOVACERA offers two primary designs of vacuum relays to cater to diverse application needs:
