PALATINE, Ill. — March 20, 2008 — The Schneider Electric Relay Competency Center (SE Relays LLC) has enhanced its popular Telemecanique brand Zelio line of plug-in relays with a UL Listed approval status when used with Zelio sockets. The line also features increased motor ratings at 120VAC and 240VAC and expanded resistive ratings. “The UL agency approvals and new options available allow Schneider Electric to offer a complete line of Zelio plug-in relays that provide an unprecedented level of performance, features and accessories for the most common applications on the market,” said Michael O’Donnell, marketing product manager, Relay Competency Center.
“The newly acquired UL Listed status will streamline the agency certification process by grouping the relay and socket combination as an acceptable UL system, saving time and money for industrial users.”Schneider Electric also has added a plain cover version of the relays to prevent inadvertent actuation of the relays’ contacts. In applications where a relay is exposed to customer interaction, elimination of the manual push button may be considered a safety requirement.

The plug-in relay line comprises four product families — the RSB interface relays, the RXM miniature relays, the RUM universal relays and the RPM/RPF power relays — combining many size, function and capability options to fit a variety of applications. The space-saving relays are easy to integrate into existing panels and offer a variety of features that simplify installation and integrationCommon applications for the Zelio plug-in relays include industrial machinery for conveying, packaging and palletizing, as well as in facility and infrastructure applications involving compressors, HVAC, pumps and water treatment (pumping systems).
