  • System for monitoring an electromechanical relay, assembly and method for monitoring relay operation conditions
    Patent number: 11004638
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for monitoring an electromechanical relay, wherein the electromechanical relay includes a relay coil for actuating at least one switch, the system comprising: at least one sensor adapted to measure an operating condition of the electromechanical relay, wherein the sensor is arranged adjacent or attached to the electromechanical relay; at least one controller communicatively connected to the at least one sensor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one controller is adapted to store the measured operating condition in the at least one memory; at least one transmitter, operatively connected to the controller, wherein the transmitter is adapted to transmit the stored measured operating condition to a remote device.
    Type: Grant
