What is BS EN 2349-308 - Coil current in relays and contactors about?
BS EN 2349-308 is a standard that covers coil current in relays and contactors, enabling the prevention of electric faults and overloads in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2349-308 specifies a method for testing the coil current of relays and contactors.
BS EN 2349-308 shall be used together with EN 2349-100.
Who is BS EN 2349-308 - Coil current in relays and contactors for?
BS EN 2349-308 on Coil current in relays and contactors applies to:
- 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 2349-308 - Coil current in relays and contactors?
On the aeroplane, contactors are utilised to switch high-current loads. When a coil is energised, it produces a magnetic field that closes the mechanical switch. Relays are used to employ a tiny current to control the flow of big currents. To activate the relay and control the flow of huge AC currents, a low-power DC circuit is used.
BS EN 2349-308 provides users guidance on a test method for testing the coil current of relays and contactors. BS EN 2349-308 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the method correctly.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2349-308, users can develop and assess relays and contactors that are used to operate contact terminals and transmit power from one electrical device to another.
