Relays are essential components in electrical systems, widely used for switching circuits on and off. They provide not only control but also safety in various applications, particularly in industrial, automotive, and power systems. Relay safety features are specifically designed to prevent damage to electrical equipment and ensure the safety of personnel. These features protect against overloads, short circuits, voltage fluctuations, and other electrical faults, making relays a cornerstone of reliable and secure electrical operations.

    One of the primary safety features in relays is overload protection. Overloading can lead to excessive heat generation in electrical circuits, which may cause wiring damage, fire hazards, or even complete system failure. Relays with overload protection detect when the current exceeds a preset threshold and automatically disconnect the circuit to prevent overheating. This safety feature ensures that electrical equipment, such as motors or transformers, does not suffer from sustained excessive currents, which could reduce their lifespan or result in permanent damage.
