What happens when a relay is operated beyond its rated voltage or current?
Generally speaking, a relay is an electrically operated switch. As such, there are two sets of ratings associated with a relay. The operating voltage will be specified, and the ratings of the contacts are also set down. As regards exceeding the operating voltage, this will cause excessive current to flow in the relay when it is energized. If the voltage is not significantly higher than the rating, and if the relay is not operated often or for long, it will function normally, but probably with a shorter life. At some point, excessive operating voltage will cause the coil in the relay to fail. Operating a relay to energize an electrical circuit with a higher voltage or current than the relay is designed for will shorten the life of the contacts in the relay. Higher voltage and current will quickly burn the contacts and destroy them. This is particularly true if that voltage or current is significantly higher than the ratings set by those who designed and constructed the relay. Things might work for a short time, but not for long.
Which relay terminal is the normally closed NC terminal?
The normally closed contact on a relay is the one that you can see physically touching each other. Remember that all readings are taken in the de energized state, e.g. no voltage applied to the relay's coil. When a relay is energized a Normally Closed (N.C.) contact will become open and vice versa a N.O. contact will become closed.
How does a normally closed contact work?
De-energize it and note the position of the contacts.
What is the current rating for a 48 VDC contact relay?
The current ratings of the contacts of a relay are written on the side of the protective envelope that covers the contacts.
What is a Reverse current relay?
A reverse current relay prevents a generator from discharging the battery when generator output is less than battery voltage. When generator output is greater than battery voltage, the reverse current relay closes and connects generator to electrical bus.
What is CT operated electronic relay?
CT (Current Transformer ) is essential whether is electronic relay or electromagnetic relay. A relay requires the CT to sense the line current.
What does a normally closed relay do when it is energized?
The term normaly closed means that in its normal state the relay or contact is closed. So when energized it will open and break the circuit.
How much current a relay coil can withstand?
There are basically two parts to a relay. The control voltage side when energized passes a current through a coil that activates a solenoid and opens or closes a switch. This is typically a small current. The current in the switch should be rated on the device and is usually quite a bit higher than the control current.
What is a relay controller?
Most relays have an internal electromagnetic coil that is energized when the relay is activated.
What is a relay coil?

What is a control relay coil?
Most relays have an internal electromagnetic coil that is energized when the relay is activated.
What is the purpose of the diode inside the relay?
If it is a light emitting diode it is there to let you know that the relay is energized. In my experience, when a DC current is removed from a coil, the polarity of the magnetic field reverses and if it weren't for the diode, the relay would "chatter". The diode polarity is oppsite of the actuating voltage.
What causes a clicking noise in a relay box?
That's what relays do when they are energized.
How relay operate?
Same as every other relay. All relays have a control side and a load side. The control side has 1 power and 1 ground. It also has a coil of wire that becomes electromagnticly energized causing the LOAD side to close and allow current to flow. So you hop in, turn your ignition key and then the request is sent to the ECM (cars computer) to see if the conditions are correct for the car to be started. The control side of the relay is then energized by the ECM providing a ground for the relay. Current will then be allowed to flow as the control side causes the load side engage.

What is the difference between an earth fault relay and an over current relay?
earth fault relay is also a type of over current relay but the set value of current or relay sensing current is much less than the maximum load current.in over current relay relay sensing current ise than maximum load current mor
