BS EN 2349-318:2006

What is BS EN 2349-318 - Pick-up voltage and test procedures for relays and contactors about?

BS EN 2349-318 is a European standard. BS EN 2349-318 has been prepared by the AeroSpace and Defense Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).

BS EN 2349-318 standard specifies a method for testing the pick-up voltage at high temperature and release voltage at a low temperature of relays and contactors. BS EN 2349-318 shall be used together with EN 2349-100.

Who is BS EN 2349-318 - Pick-up voltage and test procedures for relays and contactors for?

BS EN 2349-318 on pickup voltage and test procedures for relays and contactors is useful for

• Manufacturers of relays and contactors
• Dealers and importers of relays and contactors
• Testing labs for relays and contactors
• Electrical engineers and aerospace engineers
• Quality assurance services
• Regulatory bodies

Why should you use BS EN 2349-318 - Pickup voltage and test procedures for relays and contactors?

General and military aircraft have a vital component that is used to switch currents in aerospace equipment. Relays and contactors efficiently switch current and require low maintenance. Relays are used to employ a tiny current to control the flow of big currents. The voltage at which the relay is activated is called pick up voltage, and the voltage at which the relay is de-energised is called drop out voltage.

BS EN 2349-318 provides users guidance on a method for testing the pick-up voltage and drop out voltage in relays and contactors. BS EN 2349-318 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the method correctly.

By implementing BS EN 2349-318, users can develop and assess relays and contactors to ensure the protection of the electrical systems from arc faults and overloads.
