GlobalQuestion
What bleeder resistance is required when operating the AC coil of MY General-purpose Relays from a distance?
Answer
Refer to the following table.
(Typical Values)
Bleeder Resistance for MY4 AC100/110V
| Float capacitance (μF) | Resistance (kΩ) | Wattage (W) |
| 0.05 max. | Not required. | - |
| 0.05 to 0.15 | 7 | 2 |
| 0.15 to 0.17 | 6 | 2.5 |
| 0.17 to 0.19 | 5 | 3 |
| 0.19 to 0.23 | 4 | 4 |
| 0.23 to 0.30 | 3 | 5 |
| 0.30 to 0.42 | 2 | 8 |
| 0.42 min. | 1 | 15 |
Bleeder Resistance for MY4 AC200/220V
| Float capacitance (μF) | Resistance (kΩ) | Wattage (W) |
| 0.01 max. | Not required. | - |
| 0.01 to 0.12 | 8 | 8 |
| 0.12 to 0.14 | 7 | 9 |
| 0.14 to 0.15 | 6 | 10 |
| 0.15 to 0.18 | 5 | 12 |
| 0.18 min. | 4 | 15 |
Note:
1.CVV cable: Nominal conductor cross-section: 2 mm2 (7 conductors), Float capacitance between wires: 0.15 to 0.25 (μF/km).
2.The resistance wattages are reference values. Be sure to check the values in the circuit actually used.

Other General Purpose Relays FAQ
-
The Relay does not operate even when voltage is applied. Why is this?
-
We were using G2R General Purpose Relay to turn a solenoid valve ON and OFF, and sparks at the contact damaged the relay after only about 3 months of use. What caused this, and what kind of countermeasure is there for it?
-
A Relay burned out. Why is this?
