APPLICATIONS
Our products have become a must for the most demanding markets and applications, namely energy production, transport and distribution, petrochemicals and water treatment, merchant ship building, and the railway sector, including rolling stock and infrastructure.
All of these applications share the need for continuity of service. A plant shut-down frequently causes serious disturbances, financial losses and reputation damage. The aim of designers is to choose reliable and durable components, with high operation responsibility.
With a wide availability of models and options, in compliance with the most stringent standards, AMRA relays are used in a broad range of applications, and across many different sectors.
Choosing a relay calls initially for correct interpretation of the operating specifications and the environmental and operating constraints within which the component must function.

Relays equipped with forcibly guided contacts (often identified as relays with guided contacts, or mechanically linked contacts) are specific relays designed to be used in systems with a high safety level. These products meet particular technical requirements imposed by the applicable standard and are used in safety systems in order to achieve the highest level of reliability.
All AMRA weld-no-transfer relays have the capability of managing both logic and signalling functions and power commands, operating in severe environments on inductive loads and with high currents.

Relays used successfully in typical applications including:
- Protection, command and control systems for HV electrical substations
- Protection, command and control systems for MV / LV transformer stations
- Protection, command and control systems for power stations
- Automation systems for transformers, alternators and turbines
- Control and command systems of docks, dams and valves
- Interfaces between protection or automation systems and HV / MV breakers, for alarm transmission and very rapid trip operations (trip relays)
Requirements include special capability for breaking inductive loads, a wide choice of contacts and functions, and fast switching times (trip relays).
Details
