Designed to meet the latest railway standards, including IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60077-1/-2, and applicable parts of EN 50155, this relay is ideal for installation in passenger or driver cabins of trains operating in tunnels or underground environments. Its robust construction ensures operation across an extreme temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C and meets stringent shock and vibration requirements conforming to IEC 61373 category 1, class B. Key benefits include enhanced installation compactness, with reduced dimensions allowing side-by-side mounting that requires up to 15% less width without spacing. The NFZB22E-21 significantly contributes to train energy reduction through its lighter device weight (0.310 kg per unit) and a remarkable 68% less coil energy consumption in operation. The electronic coil interface is designed to handle large DC voltage fluctuations and accepts sinusoidal AC 50/60 Hz control supplies within the Ucmin to Ucmax voltage range of 20-60V DC/AC (rated control circuit voltage Uc min. ... Uc max.: 24...60 V and 20...60 V). This broad voltage compatibility makes it suitable for battery supply systems and various AC/DC control networks. Safety is paramount, with compliance to European standard EN 45545-2 for fire and smoke behavior (HL2, HL3 hazard levels) in group mounting configurations. The NFZB22E-21 offers flexibility with a wide range of auxiliary contact blocks available for both front and side mounting, facilitating diverse circuit designs. This relay is a reliable component for modern railway control systems, prioritizing efficiency, safety, and compliance.
