Relays

Relays

Relays are electromechanical devices that play a crucial role in controlling electrical circuits. They act as switches, enabling the control of higher voltage or current circuits by a lower voltage or current signal. Relays consist of a coil, an armature, and a set of contacts.When an electrical current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic field that causes the armature to move. This movement, in turn, changes the position of the contacts, either opening or closing the circuit. Relays find extensive application in various industries and devices, including industrial automation, power distribution systems, automotive electronics, telecommunications, household appliances, and more. Their versatility and reliability make them a fundamental component in modern electrical and electronic systems, allowing for safe and efficient control of various electrical loads.
