Part 4. Latching Relays Alternating Relay (Impulse Relays) It transfers the contacts with each pulse. For special applications where the optimization of load usage is required by equalizing the run time of two loads. Figure 7-34 Alternating or pulse relay Prof. Paul Lin 29 Part 4. Latching Relays Alternating Relay (Impulse Relays): Pumping Application Two identical pumps are used for the same job. One for normal running One for backup Running Methods 1) A standby unit is made available in case the first pump fail. However, a completely idle pump might deteriorate and provide no safety margin. 2) Both pumps get equal run time, alternately Prof. Paul Lin 30 15
Alternating Relay (Impulse Relays): Pumping Application Figure 7-35 Typical alternating relay circuit used with a duplex pumping system Use an Alternating Relay to ensure that both pumps get equal run time. In the off state, the Float SW is open, the Alternating relay is in the Load A position; both Loads (M1 and M2) are off. When the Float SW closes, it energizes the first load (M1) and PL1. Part 4.
