Overview
This webinar will focus on OMRON’s expansive product portfolio of AC and DC relays being used in clean energy related equipment such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers, photovoltaic (PV) inverters, and battery energy storage systems to help accelerate carbon neutrality. OMRON will showcase printed circuit board (PCB) relay solutions that are more cost effective, smaller than traditional contactors and beneficial as the energy equipment market moves toward the need for higher power and space saving board solutions. OMRON will also present on their latest IoT product development with the Weather Sensor and the key benefits it provides in measuring and optimizing PV systems. Join and discover how OMRON is the solution for many energy applications and how they can fit your needs.
Key Takeaways
- Discover the benefits of high-capacity PCB power relays with ultra-low contact resistance to realize low heat generation which is critical for energy applications.
- Explore various configurations of relays for cost savings such as AC latching relays for minimal power consumption, multi-pole AC relays to replace the need for multiple single pole relays, and bi-directional DC relays eliminating the need to use two separate relays for bi-directional current applications such as batteries.
- Examine various IoT solutions for energy applications such as the compact and durable Weather Sensor which is a much more cost-effective option than that of competitors in the PV monitoring space.
