You do not want equipment to run under its minimum voltage. When that happens many strange things can happen. Immediately comes to mind that motors will burn up do to lack of torque and lack of EMF and just melt down. Electronics can make some very bad decisions when running under-voltage. Flip flops can flop when they should flip and nasty stuff can ensue.
So you want a relay to drop the power off of all circuitry when the voltage is too low for it to operate reliably before something lets out its smoke. And we all know that electronics run on smoke and then the smoke comes out, electronics stop working!
So, low voltage, say bye-bye!

How do you check the under voltage relay?
The way you check to see if an under voltage relay is wired properly is to disconnect the electrical supply. If the device that is connected to the load side of the relay does not start up or energize when the electrical supply is reconnected, then the relay is connected correctly.
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.
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 phase failure relay?
These relay sense the Negative Sequence Voltage components of system supply & offers protection against Phase Failure, Phase Sequence Reversal with Under/Over Voltage conditions which are dangerous to motor winding and cause motor burnouts.
What are the limitations of a solid state relay?
Stay with-in the amperage capability, the voltage capability, and use a heat sink to dissipate the heat build up.
What is Under voltage relay?
Under voltage relay provides a signal (Contacts) when the supplied voltage drops below a preset value.
How do you check the under voltage relay?
The way you check to see if an under voltage relay is wired properly is to disconnect the electrical supply. If the device that is connected to the load side of the relay does not start up or energize when the electrical supply is reconnected, then the relay is connected correctly.
What is under-voltage tripping?
The Voltage of the power supply system is rated at its designed value. If this voltage goes down predetermined set value a under voltage relay can sense the change and then trips off the circuit.
Over voltage or under voltate sencing relay?
For what? Both exist, and are used often.
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 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 supplies voltage to fuelpump on 2002 s-10 pickup with 2.2 liter?
The fuel pump relay located in the fuse/relay center under the hood.

Why metrosil is provided in differential protection?
under internal fault conditions , CT primary current produces steep insrease in voltage across the relay. This will exceed the burden 3kv normally designed as per. To get protected from the voltage, metrosil is connected across the relay , to drop the voltage.
What voltage does a potential relay operate from?
