Lutron 208V Relay Switching Guide

This application note provides guidance on 208 V load switching using Lutron's Softswitch relay technology, recommending the use of two relays per load to ensure zero voltage potential when deactivated. It details the configuration of relay panels and Energi Savr Node units, highlighting that both methods require programming the relays identically and can endure up to 1,000,000 cycles. Contact information for Lutron's various headquarters is also included for customer assistance.

Application Note #102

Revision B
February 2016
Guide to 208 V Switching Using LutronR SoftswitchR Relay Technology

208 V load switching may be accomplished using a two-pole breaker and two SoftswitchR relay outputs. This method
guarantees 0 V potential at the load when it is de-activated.

208 V Switching with Two Relays Per Load


NOTE: This is the method recommended by LutronR. When the load is turned off, an air gap is on both switched legs.
Lutron SoftswitchR Relay Panel Example:
The diagram below shows a Lutron below SoftswitchR relay panel breaking both phases. The same can be
accomplished using a distribution panel and a Lutron feedthrough panel. The relay technology will last 1,000,000
cycles. Breaking both phases requires the two relays controlling a load to be programmed the same.
