Ordering Information
Operation
Transient Voltage Filters
R-C networks (Resistance-Capaci-
tance) are applied to circuits where
transient electrical voltage spikes can
cause a malfunction or damage in
solid state controls or control sys-
tems (PLCs, CNCs, NCs, Solid State
Counters, etc.). The RCY is typically
applied in parallel with three phase
inductive loads (motors) to absorb the
transients generated when the load is
disconnected from the line. It also ab-
sorbs electrical noise while the load is
operating. The Varistor option provides
additional protection by clamping the
transients at a specifi c voltage level
(Max. Clamping Voltage). The Bleed-
ing Resistor allows the voltage that
builds up on the capacitor in the RCY
to bleed off after voltage is removed.
The Bleeding Resistor is typically used
in applications where the control with
the RCY may be operated (tested)
without the load (motor) connected.
