Relays are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically or electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit. As relay diagrams show, when a relay contact is normally open (NO), there is an open contact when the relay is not energized.
What is the purpose of the control relay and why is it used?
Control relays are magnetic devices that are used to remotely switch loads. They are functionally identical to a magnetic motor starter , save that control relays lack horsepower-rated contacts and built-in overload protection.
How do you use a control relay?
A control relay allows electrical current to flow through a conducting coil that opens or closes a switch. It also protects the circuit current. With a control relay, users do not need to manually turn the switch to isolate or change the state of an electric circuit.

Can a relay be used as a switch?
These conversions occur when electrical inputs activate electromagnets to either form or break existing circuits. By leveraging weak inputs to power stronger currents, relays effectively act as either a switch or an amplifier for the electric circuit, depending on the desired application.
Can a relay be used as a diode?
Placing a diode across a relay coil passes the back electro magnetic field and its current through the diode when the relay is energized as the back EMF drives the flyback protection diode in forward bias.Sep 8, 2017
What is relay and how it works?
What is a Relay and How Does it Work? A relay is an electrically operated switch. They commonly use an electromagnet (coil) to operate their internal mechanical switching mechanism (contacts). When a relay contact is open, this will switch power ON for a circuit when the coil is activated.

Is relay the same as switch?
You are correct that a relay is basically just a switch, but it's a switch operated via remote control, so to speak. A regular switch controls electrical current by connecting or breaking the path of either the positive side of a circuit (most common) or the negative side of a circuit.

Which two pins are connected when the relay coil is energized?
RELAY ENERGIZED (ON) Current flowing through the control circuit coil (pins 1 and 3) creates a small magnetic field which causes the switch to close, pins 2 and 4. The switch, which is part of the load circuit, is used to control an electrical circuit that may connect to it.

Can one relay control another relay?
Also the relay can be used to isolate one circuit from another such as one circuit to control the coil with the contacts controlling a totally separate circuit operated from a different power source. A protection relay is any device or system devoted to maintain a circuit within a standard operating mode.
How can I make a relay circuit at home?
- Take one iron C-core.
- Wind twenty turns of PVC-covered copper wire round one arm.
- Connect one end to one terminal of the 1.5 V cell.
- Connect the other end to the switch.
- Complete the circuit by connecting the other end of the switch to the free terminal of the cell.

What does it mean when a relay is energized?
Conversely, on a normally energized relay, there is power on the relay during normal operation, and that power energizes and activates the contacts. An NO contact is therefore closed during normal relay operation because the energized relay activates the contact, and similarly an NC contact is open.
How do you tell if a relay is energized?
If the alarm relay is normally de-energized, it is energized, or activated, in the alarm state. The normally open (NO) output contact is activated and will close, sending out an output signal. If the normally closed (NC) output contact is used, it is activated and will open, disrupting the output signal.

What is a positive trigger source?
In my view, a positive trigger is a positive going or positive level signal that will make a device to turn on, or to transition into the conduction state…. i.e., an SCR device that requires a positive signal at the gate to trigger the device to turn ON.. Positive signal with respect to the cathode potential..
