Siemens APT Relays – The difference between AC relays and DC relays

1. Structural characteristics of AC relays

The coil of the AC relay is shorter, and the wire diameter is thicker, mainly because the coil is passed through the alternating current, the reactance is larger, the wire diameter is thick, the internal resistance can be reduced, the heat generation can be reduced, in addition, because the AC crosses zero will cause the coil electromagnetic force to be reduced, the attachment is not firm, and the vibration phenomenon is generated, so the part of the magnet attraction surface is added with a short-circuit ring, and when the magnetic field changes, eddy currents are formed during the short-circuit ring, and then the electromagnetic force opposite to the direction of the magnetic field change is formed, and the magnetic field changes after hysteresis, so that the electromagnet can be better engaged.

Second, the structural characteristics of DC relays

DC relay because it will not produce reactance when passing on DC, so the coil wire diameter of DC relay is relatively thin, mainly to increase the internal resistance, to prevent the approximate short circuit phenomenon, because the heat generation is larger, so the relay is higher, longer, mainly for good heat dissipation.

3. The consequences of the interchangeable use of AC relays and DC relays

When the AC relay is passed through direct current, because there is no inductive reactance when the direct current is passed, and the wire diameter is thick and short, the internal resistance is small, and the passing current is large, which is easy to burn out the coil.

When the DC relay is passed with alternating current, due to the thin and long wire diameter of the relay coil, the internal resistance is large, and the large inductive reactance is generated when the AC is passed, the coil can not be properly engaged and cannot work normally.
