A protective device that operates when voltage exceeds nominal by some set amount. These are often coupled with a timer.

Wire to electric fuel pump has low voltage?

if you have checked the voltage with a dvom then you need to verify that the power source at the fuel pump relay is correct, if it has the correct voltage pre-relay then your problem is post-relay. if the voltage is not correct pre-relay then simply trace and repair the power source. if the problem is post relay then check the output voltage directly at the relay, if voltage is good trace and repair line from relay to pump. if voltage is not correct then replace the fuel pump relay


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.

What voltage does a potential relay operate from?

The voltage for a potential relay will depend on the circuit that the relay is installed in. The relay can be made for low voltages (5v) to higher voltages (440.)


What is the function of monitoring voltage relay?

A voltage monitor relay is in the circuit for one reason. It monitors the incoming voltage to the equipment that it is protecting usually on three phase control panels.The relay monitors the three incoming line voltages and in some relays the voltage to ground (wye connection). If the circuit the relay is protecting looses one of the voltage legs, the circuit will shut down until the problem is rectified. This usually happens if a fuse blows in one of the three phase voltage legs.It also monitors the level of voltage to the circuit. If the voltage drops due to a malfunction in the utility lines the relay will trip and take the protected circuit off line. The voltages can be set to trip at any under or over voltage usually by set point controls on the front of the voltage monitoring relay.


What are time delay relay characteristics?

Time delay protective relays used in the power industry can be time over current or voltage, or definite time over / under voltage / over current.Definite time type relays use an over / under voltage / current element that picks up when voltage / current reach a specified level. When this picks up, a timer is started. If current / voltage stays above / below the pickup value for long enough to allow the timer to expire, the relay trip contacts are closed.Time over current elements use an inverse time - current curve to define speed of operation, so the more current is present, the faster the relay will operate.


Can a numerical relay give protevtion to over current over voltage and short circuit current at the same time?

Yes. Most microprocessor based relays that have both voltage and current inputs can provide overcurrent and over voltage protection simultaneously. Short circuit current is the same as overcurrent.


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.
