What is transistor relay driver?
a transistor circuit for driving the coil of a magnetic relay.
How would you measure a relays contacts resistance?
The voltage drop across a relay coil will be the same as the coil supply voltage. If you are trying to see if the coil is good or not, remove one of the voltage supply leads and check for continuity by using an ohm meter across the coil leads. A reading will tell you that the coil is intact and not open.
What diodes are called catching diodes?
It's a diode that is used to limit a voltage to some desired value. Importantly, it's used to limit a transient voltage or an alternative voltage. The simplest example is that diode placed across a relay's inductive coil. As current is cut off through the coil, a large induced voltage appears that can cause damage to the circuit. A diode can be placed in circuit to catch/damp the induced voltage.
If 120V is present on a120V relay coil what will the voltage reading be across the closed set of relay contacts on a 120V circuit?
0v The relay is designed to act as a switch when voltage is applied across the coil. The contacts open or close but only pass through whatever is connected to those terminals. <<>> When a relay coil is energized the relay's contact change status. The closed set of contacts will open. The 120 volt circuit that is connected will turn off. As to the voltage at the contact terminals, it depends on where you are taking the voltage reading from and to. On the source side of the terminal there will be a reading of 120 volts to neutral or ground. On the other side of the contact terminal there will be zero volts to the neutral or ground. This is because that wire is in series with the load to neutral. A meter reading across the relay terminals will read 120 volts.
Drop out voltage of a solid state relay?
Typically, when the coil voltage on a relay is decreased gradually, the relay "hold" will release at a certain voltage. This is usually defined as the Drop-out voltage (defined at some minimum value). Now, in the case of latching relay, the Drop-out voltage is called the Reset voltage.
My 2000 Nissan Altima has a relay at the ECM How do I check this 4 pin relay 1 and 2 is resistance and 3 and 5 are normal open The socket has a 12 vdc wire?
to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity. to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity.
How diodes protect the circuit from back emf which is generated by relay coils?
The relay coil is an inductor and, as such, resists a change in current. When you de-energize the coil, it attempts to maintain the current flow, but it cannot because you have opened the circuit. This causes a high voltage spike to be developed across the coil which is of opposite polarity to the normal current. The diode conducts, dissipating the current and preventing the voltage from exceeding the safe operating voltage of the driving circuit, often a transistor. The Diode is wired so that it is in reverse during normal operation, so no current passes through the diode and does not affect the coil it is parallel connected to.

How potential relay works in refrigeration?
A potential relay operates on the voltage potential created by the induced voltage in the starting winding of the motor. It is an electromagnetic switch whose coil is wired directly in to the motor circuit. When power is applied to the circuit, the motor starts . As the motor attains its running speed the start winding acts as an auto generator and the voltage potential produced energizes the relay coil which cuts out the start capacitor and the start winding . The start winding still acts as an auto generator , however , and continues to produce enough power to keep the relay energized.
What is the difference between led and relay interface?
LED interface requires typical 220 Ohm resistor in series While in case of relay resistor comes across coil with its value depends on supply voltage

How do you connect energy meter in circuit?
pressure coil or voltage coil across the supply and the current coil in series.

How an electrical relay works?
A relay will have a control circuit and a function circuitcould be the same feed line. One set of terminals (Hot and Load) can be activated at all times, but will not function until the control circuit is closed. The control circuit has a Hot and a Ground--when activated either by supply hot or ground by switch. The internal coil closes allowing the function circuit to operate. The purpose of this relay is to reduce the spike to the alternator. It takes less current (voltage) to close the coil on the relay than it would to operate the accessory that it controls
What ll be effect if resistor in snubbing circuit is opened?
The resistor in the snubbing circuit is there to minimize the reverse EMF spike that occurs when a DC inductive load, such as a relay coil or other electromagnet is released. Opening the snubbing circuit will expose the driving circuit to high voltage transients that can damage it.
