The relay's coil(s) would be a load, but the main function of a relay is to act as a switch to control power to a larger load.

What is the difference between an earth fault relay and an over current relay?

earth fault relay is also a type of over current relay but the set value of current or relay sensing current is much less than the maximum load current.in over current relay relay sensing current ise than maximum load current mor


Is a motor considered to be a load?

Yes. A motor is considered to be a load of the power supply in use.


What happens if you energize power to wire on n.c. contacts?

If the relay contacts are in series with a connected load, then the load will energize.


What device is the only load in the control circuit of a condensing unit?

I think that would have to be some relay or contactor coil for a fan, compressor or relay contacts.


How do you wire on delay timer?

The timer will have terminals associated with it. They may be on a relay socket that the relay plugs into. There will be two terminals used to bring the supply voltage to the relay timer. The load will be connected in series to either an open or closed set of contacts on the relay. The load voltage is controlled by the timer relay.The operation is, when the timer relay coil is energized the timing circuit in the relay is energized. This starts counting down until the time set point is reached and then the contacts either open or close depending on what set of contacts that you connected the load to.Some timer relays need to have the timer coil circuit de energized to reset the timing relay, others use a separate input voltage terminal on the relay to reset it without having to de energize the whole relay.

Is a relay defect and open load the same?

A relay is basically a controllable switch that connects a supply voltage to a load. If the relay is switch such that the load is not connected, that could be considered an open load. If it is switched the other way the load will be connected to its supply voltage. A defect in a relay would be something that caused it not to function correctly. It could be in the switch portion of the supply portion of the relay. Hence you are referring to different things and a defect may or may not cause the load to be open.


Is a switch considered a load?

No it is not considered a load. A load transforms electrical energy into other types of energy :)

What is working principle of relay?

That a small amount of power can control a larger load, or can switch an entirely separate load.

WHAT IS THE POSITIVE STUD AND NEGATIVE STUD OF A GLOW RELAY 12496472?

A typical automotive relay has numbered connections. Connection number 30 is the fused power supply to feed the load. In this case the load would be the glow plug(s). Number 87 is the load to the glow plug(s). Number 86 is the power supply that operates the relay, usually comes from an ignition or accessory switch. Number 85 provides the ground for the relay to operate.
