Relay

Definition and material of relay

Relay is an electrically operated switch. A relay is automatic device which senses
an abnormal condition of electrical circuit and closes its contacts. These contacts in turns
close and complete the circuit breaker trip coil circuit and make the circuit breaker tripped
for disconnecting the faulty portion of the electrical circuit from rest of the healthy circuit.
About material of relay, it consists of two separate and completely
independent circuits.

Symbols and types of relay

1. Latching Relay
Latching relays are also called impulse relays. They work in the bistable mode, and
thus have two relaxing states.
2. Thermal Relay
These relays are based on the effects of heat, which means – the rise in the ambient
temperature from the limit, directs the contacts to switch from one position to other.
3. Overload protection Relay
As the name implies, these relays are used to prevent the electric motors from
damage by over current and short circuits.
4. Contactor Relay
This is one of the most heavy load relay ever used. They are mainly used in switching
electric motors.

Function and Characteristic of relay

The function of relay is to control one electrical circuit or output device by opening
and closing the contacts on another circuit. Relay contacts are identified as normally open
(NO) or normally closed (NC).And relay will work while an electric current change the state
of that relay contact.

 Rated Coil Voltage

The Rated Coil Voltage of a relay is the voltage that the relay is supposed to receive
in order to be energized.

 Seted Operate Voltage

 The set or operate voltage of a relay is the minimum voltage that the relay can receive
in order to operate with full functionality.
 Rated Power/Operating Current
This is the power that a relay is specifically meant to handle.
 Switching Capacity
The maximum amount of current that you can switch with contacts inside the relay.

Applications of relay
1. Change motor direction with DPDT relay
Double Pole Double Throw relay, it is quite interesting and can be used in various
scenarious, including for changing the direction of a motor.It can be use to choose
between 2 different types and have a visual indication of what rotation is choosen. It
has 2 terminals and 4 connectors and you can look at the DPDT relay as the equivalent
of 2 Single Pole Double Throw SPDT relays.

2. Switch 2 circuits with SPDT relay

Single Pole Double Throw relay, It is quite useful in certain applications because of
its internal configuration. It can be use to choose between 2 different types and have a
visual indication of what load is connected. In our case (figure 1) when there is no
voltage applied to the coil the fan and green LED are turned ON . When we apply
voltage to the coil (figure 2) the relay switches its contacts and now the light buld and
red LED are turned ON.
It has one common terminal and 2 contacts in 2 different configurations: one can
be Normally Closed and the other one is opened or it can be Normally Open and the
other one closed. So basically you can see the SPDT relay as a way of switching
between 2 circuits: when there is no voltage applied to the coil one circuit “receives”
current, the other one doesn’t and when the coil gets energised the opposite is
happening.
