Table 5: iC-GE application
REL1 would be a standard 24 V relay. It could only be
used with iC-GE, if operation at 22.1 V can be guaran-
teed.
REL2 and REL3 are 6/12 V standard relays and thus
optimal usable with iC-GE at a 24 V supply voltage.
REL4 is optimised for low power dissipation, since the
c√oils has twice the number of turns than REL3 and a
2 wider diameter than REL2. Thus the power dissi-
pation in the coil is halved.
By means of the optimised power control e.g. with a
permanently-on 24 V mains-insulation relay of photo-
voltaic or heating systems up to
(5 W − 0.7 W ) ∗ 24 h ∗ 365 days = 37.7 kWh
may be saved per year.
