BI-16
LATCHING AUXILIARY RELAYS AND
MASTER TRIP RELAYS
APPLICATIONS
 Latching relays and master trip relays with
sixteen changeover contacts, mounted on
“I” boxes, able to be plugged into the
various types of “I” sockets.
www.arteche.com
MAIN FEATURES
 No consumption in permanence.
 Front indication on the nameplate.
 Large variety of assemblies with front and
rear connection sockets by screw or fast-
on clip and flush mounting option socket.
 The design, durability and quality of these
relays guarantee their application in high
responsibility controls such as power
stations, substations, railway, industries of
continuous processes (petrochemical,
rolling mills, cement and chemical
industries), etc.
 According to the most demanding test
standards: IEC, EN, IEEE, and bearing the
CE mark.
 The great power of the output contacts
makes possible direct action on HV and
MV switchgear, because their
making/breaking capacities, continuous
through-current and overvoltage capacity
guarantee perfect insulation.
 Absolutely reliable for use in salty, tropical
atmospheres, and in general in those
atmospheres which need protection with
transparent cover.
