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.

What is Contact block 1N.O. 1N.C. 1N.O. scaled?
It is a contact block with three poles. Pole one is normally open, pole two is normally closed and pole three is normally open. These reading are taken in a de-energized condition. When energized the contacts will change status to closed, open and closed.
What does N.C. switch?
The terminology, in regards to switches and relay contacts, stands for N.C. = normally closed and N.O. = normally open. When ever these designations are used in schematics or electrical prints the position is to be taken in the de-energized state. No power on the circuit.
What is a nc contact?
An N.C. contact is 'Normally closed'. This applies to relays (electronic switches). You can use either a normally closedcontact or a normally open contact to do what you need, provided the relay has both and depending on your situation. Here's a recent example of mine: A building's fire alarm is wired to the HVAC system to shut down ventilation in case of a fire. In this case we want the HVAC to have power normally but remove power (with the relay) during a fire alarm. We would connect the HVAC power to the relay's N.C. (normally closed) contacts, because they are exactly that: normally closed. This would allow the HVAC to function. When power is applied to the relay, it would switch contacts, disconnecting power to the HVAC. An important note is that contacts and other electrical connections that can change condition (such as a relay) are described in a de-energizedstate. Thus, the N.C. contacts are normally closed, while the power to the relay is off. Likewise, a N.O. contact is open with relay de-energized but will close upon supplying power to the relay.
How does a normally open contact work?
An electrical switching device that in it's normal rest state does not conduct an electrical current. To become conductive an external force must be applied to change, (switch), it's physical state from open to closed.
Which wire will be connect at NO or NC contact?
NO stands for Normally Open and NC is Normally Closed. It references a switching application. It is the base state of the switch. So if the load is connected to the NC terminal it will usually be energized and when the switching device is activated the circuit will open and the load will be de-energized. The NO terminal would have the load de-energized until the switch was activated and then it would be energized.
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.

If, when a relay is energized, you measure 0.05 VAC across a set of normally open contacts, the
A device that opens and closes a set of contacts when its coil is energize?
The device is a relay. A relay may have several sets of contacts, or sets of open and closed contacts that "change state" as the coil is energized.Changing state means that the normally open contact will close and the normally closed contact will open when the coil is energized.
What is Contact block 1N.O. 1N.C. 1N.O. scaled?
It is a contact block with three poles. Pole one is normally open, pole two is normally closed and pole three is normally open. These reading are taken in a de-energized condition. When energized the contacts will change status to closed, open and closed.
What is the application of normally closed relay contact?
There are numerous applications for a normally-closed relay contact. It is used whenever you want to disconnect a circuit when the relay coil is energised.

An electrical switching device that in it's normal rest state does not conduct an electrical current. To become conductive an external force must be applied to change, (switch), it's physical state from open to closed.
What is interposing relay?
It is a relay that has two states. in one state a set of contacts will make or break. In the other state the other set of contacts will make or break. One coil operating two sets of common, normally open, normally closed. each set of contacts will change states when the coil is momentarily energized.
What does a relay do?
A relay is an electrically actuated switch. There are a number of contacts actuated by a soleniod. When the solenoid is energized the position of the contacts changes, "throwing" the switch. The terminology of switches and relay contacts is as such: (number)p-(st(no/nc)/dt) The number followed by p is the number of poles. This is the number of independent "switches" in the unit. The (number)p may be replaced with sp (single pole) meaning 1p or dp (double pole) meaning 2p. ST stands for single throw, there is only two contacts for each pole. ST is usually suffixed with NO or NC in relays standing for normally open and normally closed. Normally open contacts conduct when the solenoid is energized. Normally closed contacts conduct when the soleniod if off. DT stands for double throw, meaning that there are 3 contacts per pole: a common contact, a NO contact, and a NC contact. So: a 3p-st NO relay has 3 switches that close when energized. a sp-dt relay has one 3 contact switch. An electrically actuated 3-way switch, if you will. a dp-st NC relay has one switch that opens when the solenid is energized.
How does an electric relay work?
Relay contactsThe contacts could be in a normally open or they could be in a normally closed position depending on the type of relay it is. Most relays have their contacts in a C form configuration. This means that there is a common terminal to which the hot wire is connected and two sets of contacts one above and one below the common movable contact. In the de-energized state, between the common movable contact and the contact above will be in a N.C. (normally closed) position. This leaves the contact below and the common movable contact in a N.O. (normally open) position. The contact status is held in this position by a small spring. When the relay coil is energized, the state of these contacts reverse. The relay coils magnetism pulls on the coil armature, to which the common contact is attached, and over comes the pressure of the spring tension. The N.C contact becomes N.O and the N.O. contact becomes N.C. When reading an electrical schematic all relays contacts are drawn in the de-energized position.
