Relays: Click To Edit Master Subtitle Style

A relay is an electrically operated switch that uses an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism. It has basic components including contacts, an armature, spring, yoke, and coil. When electric current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic field that attracts the armature and moves the contacts to make or break an electrical connection. There are different types of relays such as latching, polarized, machine tool, contactor, solid-state, Buchholz, and overload protection relays that are used in applications like telephone switching systems and to protect electrical equipment.

Working of simple relay


A simple electromagnetic relay consists of acoilof wire surrounding asoft iron core, an iron yoke which provides a low Click to edit Master subtitle style reluctancepath for magnetic flux. It is held in place by aspringso that when the relay is deenergized there is an air gap in the magnetic circuit.

TYPES OF RELAYS

Latching relay

Alatching relayhas two relaxed states (bistable). . Click to edit Master subtitle style This type of relay has the advantage that one coil consumes power only for an instant.
