The term normaly closed means that in its normal state the relay or contact is closed. So when energized it will open and break the circuit.
It is a contact block with three poles. Pole one is normally open, pole two is normally closed and pole three is normally open. These reading are taken in a de-energized condition. When energized the contacts will change status to closed, open and closed.
An N.C. contact is 'Normally closed'. This applies to relays (electronic switches). You can use either a normally closedcontact or a normally open contact to do what you need, provided the relay has both and depending on your situation. Here's a recent example of mine: A building's fire alarm is wired to the HVAC system to shut down ventilation in case of a fire. In this case we want the HVAC to have power normally but remove power (with the relay) during a fire alarm. We would connect the HVAC power to the relay's N.C. (normally closed) contacts, because they are exactly that: normally closed. This would allow the HVAC to function. When power is applied to the relay, it would switch contacts, disconnecting power to the HVAC. An important note is that contacts and other electrical connections that can change condition (such as a relay) are described in a de-energizedstate. Thus, the N.C. contacts are normally closed, while the power to the relay is off. Likewise, a N.O. contact is open with relay de-energized but will close upon supplying power to the relay.
The terminology, in regards to switches and relay contacts, stands for N.C. = normally closed and N.O. = normally open. When ever these designations are used in schematics or electrical prints the position is to be taken in the de-energized state. No power on the circuit.
An electrical switching device that in it's normal rest state does not conduct an electrical current. To become conductive an external force must be applied to change, (switch), it's physical state from open to closed.
NO stands for Normally Open and NC is Normally Closed. It references a switching application. It is the base state of the switch. So if the load is connected to the NC terminal it will usually be energized and when the switching device is activated the circuit will open and the load will be de-energized. The NO terminal would have the load de-energized until the switch was activated and then it would be energized.
The normally closed contact on a relay is the one that you can see physically touching each other. Remember that all readings are taken in the de energized state, e.g. no voltage applied to the relay's coil. When a relay is energized a Normally Closed (N.C.) contact will become open and vice versa a N.O. contact will become closed.
A normally closed contact is a switch or relay contact that is closed by default and opens when activated. When no external force is applied, the contact is closed, allowing current to flow through the circuit. When the circuit is energized or activated, the contact opens, interrupting the flow of current.
"Mean no NC relay" typically refers to the absence of a normally closed (NC) relay in a circuit or system. In relay terminology, a normally closed relay allows current to pass through when the relay is not energized, whereas a normally open (NO) relay does not conduct until it is activated. Thus, "mean no NC relay" suggests that the system only uses normally open relays, which can impact how the circuit operates, particularly in controlling devices or signals.
If, when a relay is energized, you measure 0.05 VAC across a set of normally open contacts, the
A 1 Form C relay, also known as a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay, has three terminals: one common (C), one normally closed (NC), and one normally open (NO). When the relay is de-energized, the common terminal is connected to the normally closed terminal. When energized, the relay switches the connection from the NC terminal to the NO terminal, allowing control of a circuit from a single input. This type of relay is often used in applications requiring a single control signal to toggle between two different outputs.
The device is a relay. A relay may have several sets of contacts, or sets of open and closed contacts that "change state" as the coil is energized.Changing state means that the normally open contact will close and the normally closed contact will open when the coil is energized.
It is a contact block with three poles. Pole one is normally open, pole two is normally closed and pole three is normally open. These reading are taken in a de-energized condition. When energized the contacts will change status to closed, open and closed.
There are numerous applications for a normally-closed relay contact. It is used whenever you want to disconnect a circuit when the relay coil is energised.

It is a relay that has two states. in one state a set of contacts will make or break. In the other state the other set of contacts will make or break. One coil operating two sets of common, normally open, normally closed. each set of contacts will change states when the coil is momentarily energized.
