Assignment (Relay)

This document provides information about relays. It defines a relay as an electrically operated switch that uses a coil to open or close contacts in a circuit. Different types of relays are described, including electromagnetic relays, power relays, telephone relays, card actuated relays, sensitive relays, and solid state relays. Relays are also classified according to their functions (monostable or bistable), uses (commercial, industrial, etc.), input supply (DC or AC), and purpose (general or special).

RELAYS
A RELAY IS A DEVICE THAT FUCTIONS
AS AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED
SWITCH. RELAYS ARE USED TO OPEN OR
CLOSE THE CONTACTS IN THE CIRCUITS.
THE CONTACTS MAY BE EITHER IN THE
SAME CIRCUIT AS THE OPERATING
SIGNAL OR IN ANOTHER CIRCUIT OR
COMBINATION OF CIRCUITS. RELAYS
ARE WIDELY USED IN INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS. WHEN THE COIL OF A
RELAY IS ENERGISED OR DE-ENERGISED,
ITS CONTACTS ARE ON/OFF. VARIOUS
TYPES OF RELAYS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE
MARKET. THE SELECTION OF A
PARTICULAR RELAY DEPENDS ON THE
TYPE OF APPLICATION.
TYPES OF RELAYS
 ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY: Most of the relays
used are electromagnetically operated. The parts of
these relays are an iron core and its surrounding coil of
wire, an iron yoke which provides a low reluctance path
for magnetic flux-the yoke being shaped so that the
magnetic circuit can be closed by a movable piece of
iron called the armature, and a set of contacts. The
armature is hinged to the yoke and is held by a spring
in such a way that there is an air gap in the magnetic
circuit. When an electric current flows in the coil, the
armature is attracted to the iron core. Electrical
switching contacts are mounted on the armature. When
the relay coil is energized, this movable contacts break
their connections to previously open contacts. When
electrical power is removed from the relay coil, a spring
returns the armature to its original position. The relay
coil is bobbin-wound with insulated copper wire. The
resistance of the coil, thus the current that can flow in
the coil for any energizing voltage, is determined by the
gauge of the wire an the length used. he coil mmf is
proportional o the number of turns of wire on the coil
times the current flowing through the wire. The more is
the number of turns put on the bobbin, the less is the
current needed to operate the real. Standard voltages for
dc relays are 6, 12, 24, T 48, and 110 v and for ac relays
are 6,12, 24, 48 120 and 240 volts.
 POWER RELAYS: Power relays are heavy duty
clapper relays capable of multiple switching of resistive
loads of 15A to 25A per pole at either 24V dc or upto
230V ac. They are designed for use in industrial
equipment for controlling fractional horse power
motors, solenoids, and heating elements or to energies
a high power conductor.
 TELEPHONE RELAY: The telephone relay is the most
reliable, time proven and having a versatile design. It is
made in variety of sizes from standard to subminiature.
These types of relays are used in large numbers in
telephone exchange. The contact springs, interleaved
with insulators, are clamped to the frame and actuated
by insulated studs attached to the armature. Contact
combinations are often special.
 CARD ACTUATED RELAY: In this type of relay, the
movable contact arms protrude through holes in a rigid
plastic card moves either by flexing the movable
contact arms to make contact with fixed arms or by
allowing prestressed contact arms to make with fixed
contacts arms. Card actuated relays are of two general
types– industrial and wire spring. Industrial card
actuated relays are similar in design to telephone type
except for the card actuation. Contacts range from
DPDT to SPDT.
In wire spring relays, the contact arms are thin round
wires rather than flat springs. A single wire spring
relay can transfer as many as 51 circuits at the same
time, replacing four or more conventional relays.
 SENSITIVE RELAY: A sensitive relay is a relay that
can operate on a comparatively small amount of power
or on a small pulse signal for continuously powered
relays.
Conventional electromagnetically actuated relays can be
made sensitive by increasing he turns on the efficiency
of the iron core and magnetic structure both by
configuration and choice of materials.
 SOLID STATE RELAY: solid state relays consists of a
transformer. The magnitude of the load current and
whether it is ac or dc determines the choice of a
semiconductor switching device. For low level dc
switching. Triacs are used for ac or dc power switching.
Advantages of solid-state relays are:
o High reliability
o Long life
o No known wear-out modes
o Silent operation
o No contact bounce or arcing which makes operation
respectively transient free.

may be:
i. Monostable relays: These relays come to the original
position after the supply is switched off.

following types:
i. Commercial relays
ii. Railways relays
