If 120V is present on a120V relay coil what will the voltage reading be across the closed set of relay contacts on a 120V circuit?

0v The relay is designed to act as a switch when voltage is applied across the coil. The contacts open or close but only pass through whatever is connected to those terminals. <<>> When a relay coil is energized the relay's contact change status. The closed set of contacts will open. The 120 volt circuit that is connected will turn off. As to the voltage at the contact terminals, it depends on where you are taking the voltage reading from and to. On the source side of the terminal there will be a reading of 120 volts to neutral or ground. On the other side of the contact terminal there will be zero volts to the neutral or ground. This is because that wire is in series with the load to neutral. A meter reading across the relay terminals will read 120 volts.


When using an ohmmeter to check the continuity of generator field coil the field coil should?

Would cause a meter to read negative voltage across a dc motor?

A DC motor generates power when it is rotating even when no supply is connected.


With switch s1 closed meter m4 reads 4 volts across r3. what voltages would the meter read across r1 and r2?

This question is hard to answer as the question does not state whether R1 and R2 are in series or parallel with R3. Also helpful would be the source voltage supply and the value of the resistors.


How do you check the voltage going to the coil?

To check the voltage going to the coil, use a multimeter set to the appropriate voltage range. Connect the positive lead of the multimeter to the terminal of the coil and the negative lead to a good ground point. With the ignition turned on (or while the engine is running), read the voltage displayed on the multimeter. Ensure the voltage is within the specified range for proper coil operation.

Why SL100 used to energize a relay?

SL100 NPN transistor can provides enough current gain (500mA) to drive the relay coil. So when our relay coil is drive by proper current & voltage it will works. For more info about SL100 please read manufacture datasheet. Wireshark Cookie Dump: OKCancel


How do you check a relay coil?

Put an ohm meter across the coil and read the resistance. Usually they are quite high depending on the voltage and the size. If you can compare with an known good one then you can know what to expect give or take say 15%. If there is no reading it is open circuited and if it is very low then it has a short within it. Some times the smell will show a short.


What would cause a 1999 Tahoe to not start if it has good spark full tank?

It may possibly be the fuel pump has quit working......or the fuel pump relay. Have your fuel pressure read by using a gauge connected to the fuel rail. If the pump is NOT pumping then you have to find out if it's the pump or the relay. you might check the ignition coil.


How do you wire a 12 volt automotive relay?

there should be a diagram on the side of the relay with the pin numbers and some symbols. the pins that are on the coil or control side can be wired power and ground. this generally goes through a switch. the load side has a small gate looking symbol these can be wired power and ground either way and this is the side that you connect to whatever you are powering on. make sure to use a fuse on this circuit on the power lead.


What is the Difference between moving coil and moving iron meter?

moving coils will only respond to dc current moving iron will respond to both ac and dc current moving Ion meters tend to be read on a logarithmic scale, are slightly cheaper to manufacture, and are less accurately read. moving coil meters are read on a linear scale, and are more accurate to read. To read AC it must have a capacitor across its terminals and a diode in series to read AC.


How do you know when coil goes bad?

Using a meter you shoud be able to read ohms across the coil. There are factory specified numbers that tell you the operating range. Any local auto parts store should have that information and be able to check it for you in most cases.

How do you test an outboard motor coil?

Test your two primary points with ohms should read zero - where your spark plug wire goes in is your secondary - test it with one primary point should read resistance then test other primary point with secondary should read the same - coil is good - if two primary are not zero bad coil - if second with primary read zero coil is bad.


How do you test a motorcycle coil?

To test a motorcycle coil, first, ensure the ignition is off and disconnect the coil from the motorcycle. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the primary terminals; it should typically read between 0.5 to 3 ohms. Then, check the secondary terminals, which should show a higher resistance, usually between 6,000 to 15,000 ohms. If the readings are outside these ranges, the coil may be faulty and should be replaced.
