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.

Contd. When anelectric currentis passed through the coil it generates amagnetic fieldthat attracts the armature, and the consequent movement of the Click to edit Master subtitle style movable contact(s) either makes or breaks (depending upon construction) a connection with a fixed contact.

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.

Polarized relay

Apolarized relayplaced the armature between the poles of a permanent magnet to increase sensitivity.

Machine tool relay

Contactor relay

Acontactoris a very heavy-duty relay used for switchingelectric motors and lighting loads, although contactors are not generally called relays.

Asolid state relay(SSR) is asolid stateelectronic component that provides a similar function to an electromechanicalrelay but does not have any moving components, increasing long4/15/12

Buchholz relay

ABuchholz relayis a safety device sensing the accumulation of gas in large oil-filled transformers, which will alarm on slow accumulation of gas.

Click to motors need Electricedit Master subtitle style overcurrent protection to prevent damage from overloading the motor, or to protect against short circuits in connecting cables or internal faults in the motor windings.

Protective relay

Used for protection of electrical apparatus and transmission lines, electromechanical relays with accurate operating Click to edit Master subtitle style characteristics were used to detect overload, short-circuits, and other faults.
