Electromechanical and Solid-State AC Relay with Reduced Arcing
This invention relates to alternating-current(AC)relays,and more particularly to AC relays with both mechanical and solid-state contacts.The inventors have realized the desirability of a solution to the technical problem of the low reliability of electromechanical relays callsed by arcing of the mechanical contacts,and the 1-volt drop of the solid-state relay.
