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 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 the current sensing relay in an oil safety control scheme?

The electrical control panel for a refrigeration unit using single or three phase power. The control portion has an oil pressure safety switch, defrost timer, temperature controls and perhaps a refrigerant pressure control in conjunction with the normal internal overload circuit breakers for the compressor. After operation of the refrigeration unit for a period of time, a defrost control device cuts off the compressor and turns on the electric defrost heaters. As the evaporator coils are defrosted, defrost thermostats open the defrost heater supply circuits. When the current sensing relay senses that all the defrost heaters have been shut off via the defrost thermostats, a time delay relay will return the refrigeration unit to the normal refrigeration cycle. The same current sensing relay will prevent false triggering by the oil pressure safety switch if the compressor's internal overload circuit breaker opens


What are the advantages of using a low voltage control circuit in heating air conditioning ventilation and refrigeration systems?

you dont waste to much energy but it still works fine.


Which instrument transformer mostly used in relays?

What a potential relay used for?

Potential or voltage relay is used for assisting the motor to start. Its operation is based on the increase in back-electro-motive force (back-EMF).

How does absorption refrigeration work and what are its key principles?

Absorption refrigeration works by using a refrigerant that is absorbed into a liquid solution, which is then heated to release the refrigerant as a gas. The key principles of absorption refrigeration include the use of heat to drive the refrigeration cycle, the absorption of the refrigerant into a liquid solution, and the release of the refrigerant as a gas through heating.
