Load shedding relays switch off a connected consumer when another is switched on. They thus prevent current peaks by preventing the simultaneous operation of powerful consumers. The compact devices in the RLR series have a potential-free break relay. The RLR 2 has an additional drop-out delay. Properties: Coil input up to 5.3 A, potential-free relay as break contact up to 1 A, drop-out delay 0 (RLR 1) or 2 mains half-waves (RLR 2), module width only 1 division unit (17.5 mm), protection class IP 20, mounting type: quick attachment to mounting rail, installation position as desired, areas of application: The load shedding relays can be used wherever the simultaneous operation of powerful electrical consumers is undesirable and a consumer that has been in operation for a long time can be switched off. e.g. for night heating and instantaneous water heaters.
