Power MOSFET Relay Specifications (G6D Relay) The following specifications apply to G6D Relays mounted in a G70D Relay Terminal and not the G6D Relay itself. Coil Ratings (per G6D Relay) Note: 1. The must-operate voltage is 75% or less of the rated voltage if the relay is mounted upside down. 2. Rated current and coil resistance were measured .
Results are provided for actual relay testing. Part I: Distance Relay Tests (Texas A&M University) Distance relay testing can evaluate relay performance, calibrate relay settings, and identify system conditions that could cause unexpected relay operation. Developing a relay testing methodology requires consideration of how to model the power .
