Bistable solenoids (or bistable electromagents) emerge as a versatile and efficient solution in the electrical power distribution sector. These devices are particularly suitable in situations where the availability of electrical power is limited, as they require lower power levels compared to other types of electromagnets.
Bistable solenoids are a prominent part of self-powered relays, playing a key role in switching cells in electrical distribution systems. Their high capacity to operate with low power pulses makes them particularly interesting for overvoltage situations.
Bistable electromagnets in electrical power distribution switchgear operate by means of a low-power impulse. This impulse activates the solenoid, allowing to stop the corresponding cubicle. In cases of overvoltage in self-powered relays, the impulse of these electromagnets is of very low consumption, allowing to stop the cubicle in order to optimize the system performance. This avoids the use of additional energy resources, acting as a safe solution.
Summarizing, since bistable solenoids offer optimum performance at low power levels, they are an efficient and adaptable solution in electrical power distribution switchgear. As they are integrated in self-powered relays, they provide stability to the system and make them a valuable option for design and operation in electrical networks.
NAFSA manufactures bistable solenoids and electromagnets specifically designed for implementation in electrical power distribution switchgear. We are also manufacturers of electromagnetic devices that allow remote resetting with just a reverse polarity impulse. As a company specialized in the manufacture of electromagnets, we also offer custom manufacturing works to adapt to the needs and requirements of each project and customer.
