Schneider Electric RPM22BD RPM Relay 24 V DC

Description

RPM22BD RPM power plug-in relay and its part number

RPM22BD is an RPM power plug-in relay from the Schneider Electric Harmony Electromechanical Relays range. Its datasheet lists 2 C/O contacts, a DC coil rated 24 V DC, and a status LED fitted. Mounting is plug-in, with flat faston-type pins.

Reading the code from the datasheets of this family: RPM22 = RPM series power relay with two changeover contacts; the suffix BD stands for the coil, here 24 V DC. This reading follows how the sibling datasheets line up and is not an ordering table, so verify the full code against the manufacturer catalogue when it matters.

Seven Star LLC supplies RPM22BD in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier in Muscat. The datasheet we hold is dated 8 Nov 2026.

Sockets and related parts for RPM22BD

The matching sockets are RPZF2 for the two-pole RPM relay and RPZF4 for the four-pole one; the datasheet of the socket confirms RPM with 2 C/O contact for RPZF2.

The same series also includes the following parts, which share the basic body of RPM22BD but differ as shown:

  • Against RPM22P7: coil 24 V DC against 230 V AC 50/60 Hz on RPM22P7; drop-out ≥ 0.1 Uc DC against ≥ 0.15 Uc AC on RPM22P7.

Because the differences are in the coil or contact details, the complete part number must be confirmed before ordering.

Coil circuit and supply window of RPM22BD

The coil of RPM22BD is rated 24 V DC with voltage limits of 19.2–26.4 V DC. The datasheet gives an average coil resistance of 640 Ohm at 20 °C ± 10 % and average consumption of 0.85 W. The relay releases when the control voltage falls to ≥ 0.1 Uc DC, which is the figure to compare against any sagging control supply or leakage from a PLC output.

Operating time is 20 ms at nominal voltage and release time 20 ms at nominal voltage. An LED shows coil energisation, and the lockable test button allows manual operation checks.

A 24 V DC coil is the usual match for PLC digital outputs and regulated control rails, so check that the output card can source the coil current and that the rail is not shared with noisy inductive loads.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance

Fit the relay to its socket until it seats and, where a retaining feature is provided, secure it before energising. Do not hot-swap relays that are carrying load. For RPM22BD the datasheet states -40–55 °C for operation and IP rating IP40 conforming to IEC 60529, so plan cabinet ventilation accordingly.

During commissioning, energise the coil at its nominal voltage, check contact transfer with a meter, and verify that the supply stays inside the voltage limits. In service, inspect for discoloured pins, replace relays that show contact wear, and keep a spare on the shelf for critical interlocks.

Typical use of RPM22BD in Oman and the GCC

Relays of this class are used as interposing and interface devices between controllers and field loads in power generation, water treatment and desalination, oil and gas skids, and building automation across Oman. Heat inside sun-exposed cabinets and salt-laden coastal air are the main points to design for; the datasheet lists pollution degree 3 and IP rating IP40 conforming to IEC 60529.

RPM22BD suits panels that need 2 C/O switching with a status LED fitted and a lockable test button, and where the supply is 24 V DC.

About brand

Schneider Electric is the French group for energy management and industrial automation: low and medium voltage switchgear and circuit breakers, motor control, drives, PLCs, power monitoring, UPS systems and building management. Its history goes back to 1836, when the brothers Adolphe and Eugène Schneider took over the iron and steel works at Le Creusot in Burgundy. Over the 20th century the company left steel and heavy engineering and became an electrical group through acquisitions such as Merlin Gerin, Télémécanique, Square D and Modicon. Its head office is in Rueil-Malmaison near Paris, and its shares are listed on Euronext Paris.

Choosing Schneider Electric breakers and motor control

Circuit breakers are chosen by current and breaking capacity. Acti9 miniature circuit breakers (iC60, C120) protect final circuits up to 125 A. ComPacT NSX molded case breakers cover about 16 to 630 A, and the letter after the frame size sets the breaking capacity: B, F, N, H, S, L from lowest to highest. MasterPacT air circuit breakers are used as main incomers on large switchboards. For motors, a TeSys contactor with an LRD overload relay or a GV2 motor circuit breaker suits direct starting, an Altistart soft starter reduces starting current, and an Altivar drive controls speed. The breaking capacity must always be at least the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation.

Where Schneider Electric products are used

In Oman and the GCC, Schneider Electric equipment is found in main and sub-main switchboards of commercial and residential buildings, motor control centres in water, oil and gas and industrial plants, substations protected by Sepam and Easergy relays, data centres powered by Galaxy and APC UPS systems, and buildings controlled by EcoStruxure Building Operation.

APC by Schneider Electric: UPS and critical power

Since 2007, APC has been part of Schneider Electric and is now its product brand for uninterruptible power supplies, replacement batteries, battery packs, network management cards and rack power distribution. Our APC catalogue covers Smart-UPS line-interactive and on-line models, Easy UPS On-Line, the modular Symmetra LX, RM and PX ranges, Silcon three-phase systems and their spare part kits, and the RBC cartridges that keep them running. Schneider Electric breakers, drives and PLCs can be quoted together with APC UPS systems in one request.
