Relay protection compartment temperature

NEMA & Underwriter's Laboratories have defined a series of temperature Classes relating to the maximum hot spot temperature permitted. The two most commonly used for relays are Class B = 130oC and Class F = 155oC. The coil winding of a relay is produced with copper. Abstract: Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, and testing requirements are defined for relays and relay systems used to protect and control power apparatus. Refer to the type of protection. Different manufacturers specify their data at temperatures which vary typically from 20oC to 25oC depending on the manufacturer – and this means that direct comparison between competing products must be made with care. The most notable changes occur in the pick-up voltage (V PI) and coil resistance (R C).
