I wish to have a relay or contactor which will switch ON/OFF a current that is 1.9A RMS. This current is also sinusoidal and at a frequency of 50 KiloHertz (50000 Hertz).
The peak voltage of this is 483Volts.
That is, the voltage is sinusoidal and 342Vrms.
Do you agree that “normal” relays , that have AC ratings, do not apply here, because their AC ratings always refer to 50Hz rather than 50KHz?
Do you agree that at 50KHz we must look at the DC rating, because at 50KHz, the contact arc is not extinguished when the sine wave goes through zero, because it is reignited as the waveform moves above zero within a few microseconds.
I have found this contactor, and believe it is suitable to switch this waveform, do you agree?
