Measuring Object Short Circuit due to Relay Contact Welding 12.2 Measuring Object Short Circuit due to Relay Contact Welding The SW9001 and SW9002 multiplexer modules switch a measurement signal using a mechanical relay. The relay contact may weld when relay switching is repeated with a large current flowing (also when the measuring object or instrument to be connected is capacitive).
Page 150
Measuring Object Short Circuit due to Relay Contact Welding Module fuse rating The SW9001 and SW9002 are provided with a fuse (board mounted type) in HIGH and LOW for each channel input to prevent possible risks if a high current flows through the circuit due to relay contact welding.
