Which starting system component uses a small amount of current to control a large amount of current?
I think its a starter solenoid or a relay. I know relays take high voltage current to power low voltage circuits. Hope that helps..
What are relays?
A relay is a electro-mechanical switch. It uses electro-magnetism generated from a small voltage/current (for normal circuits its typically around 5V/6V/12V, 200mA) to switch larger voltages/currents (around, 110V/220V,16A) for household appliances.(OR)A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations.

Can alternating current be switched using normally open switch relays?
Yes. In fact, induction motor 'starters' work using normally-open relays, controlled by low-current control circuits -although we call these heavy-duty relays 'contactors'.
How can the path of current be controlled in different circuits?
Transistors and/or relays.
What are the relays for under the hood of a 1995 Buick park avenue?
Relays are used to control high amperage circuits, some examples are A/C, Blower, power windows, etc. Your owners manual will list which one is for what, also the underside of the cover has a diagram/numbers.
Why Normal time-overcurrent relays are not adequate for generator backup protection?
Setting the time-overcurrent relays high enough to prevent tripping for normal overloads may result in them not tripping at all due to the decaying characteristic of the generator fault current. Using the system voltage to control the overcurrent characteristic resolves this problem, since the voltage should drop very little for overloads, but will collapse to a small value for external faults. The 51V protection function uses the system voltage to adapt the operation of a time overcurrent element, using either voltage-restraint (51VR) or voltage-control (51VC).
What are speed and relays in logic circuits?
speed and relay are not a good match since they are quite slow
Where you use undervoltage protection?
Undervoltage protection is provided for A circuit bars,motors, generators, transformers, rectifiers, etc.. Such protection is given by means of undervoltage relay. Undervoltage relay are necessary for voltage control and reactive power control of network buses and load buses. These type of relays have inverse time characteristics and their operating time reduces twith the reduction in operating voltage.

What is rtcc pannel?
RTCC (Remote tap changer control) panel is one of the LT panel which has microcontroller, contactors, relays etc it senses the fluctuation in distribution voltage (input of Transformer) & give signal to OLTC to change the voltage(Output of the transformer) to set a value
Can new wiring effect my car relays?
Improperly wired circuits can. If the wiring was done right, the relays would continue to function as normal. If you use too small a gauge of wire, the relays will continue to function... it's the wire itself which will overheat.
Why is there a step-down transformer to actuate relay to run a 120V appliance?
It depends on where the transformer is in the circuit, its primary voltage, secondary voltage and the voltage of the coil of the relay. This and more information all needs to be stated to come up with an accurate answer. One scenario could be is that the appliance needs a 240 volt supply to operate and the controls of the appliance need 120 volts to operate Many relay control circuits are designed for better safety and reliability by moving high-voltage and high-current switching to enclosed contacts close to where the power is needed, sending only low-voltage control voltage to the user switches. For example, many heating systems use 24-volt wall thermostats to control relays that activate the 120-volt burners and hot-water circulators. This simplifies the wiring to the thermostats and also moves the heavy-duty controls, which can be bulky, to the boiler area.
