As long as the voltage driving the coil stays below this value and the environment (temp, humidity, etc) stays within the rated ranges then you should expect to be able to drive the coil continuously for its rated lifetime. One failure mode to consider is that relay contacts can. Your description is slightly confused : a NC relay will be switched ON (Closed) with no power applied, and OFF (open) when you apply power, i. Thus when power fails, the switch will close. This is good news, because relays can fail to open (contacts weld shut), but not. Specific life is not defined when the product is continuously energized; there is no guaranteed value. Continuous energization may cause the coil, which uses polyurethane copper wire, to generate heat. Since a single wire generally has a heat-resistant life of 40,000 hours, the life will be. In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected. Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM):.
