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).

What does the relay do in a compressor?
the relay in the compressor helps it to respond to pressure increase or decrease process in relation to a gas.
What are the uses of michanical energy?
It is used to move things. It is also used to generate electricity.
Formula for total energy?
kinetic energy+potential energy=total energy
What is mehanical energy?
The definition of mechanical energy is energy in a mechanical form
Disadvantages of butterfly valve?
The use of butterfly valves for control applications is limited to the valve opening range between 30 degrees to 70 degrees. Throttling using butterfly valves is limited to low pressure drop applications. Potential cavitation is a concern when butterfly valves are used. Also possibility of a choked flow is a concern.
Is a current relay same as potential relay?
current relay are using for over current low state & high state.but potential relay are related to voltage.
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.)
Which instrument transformer mostly used in relays?
Both Current and Potential Transformers are used for relays according to the working of relay.
How do you install a hard start kit on an air conditioner?
Common wire of the potential relay goes to the compressor contactor. (5) Start wire of the potential relay goes to compressor run capacitor. (2) Run wire of the potential relay goes to the start capacitor. (1)
What is the difference between current relay and potential relay?
I think what you mean to ask is; "The difference between a current sensing, and potential sensing relay. I've never heard of a potential relay. Relays are "pulled in" by applying voltage to the coil, typically 120Vac, or 24Vdc. A current sensing relay will close its contacts when it is wired to sense a particular amount of current. Instead of applying voltage (turning on) the relay, it closes contacts when current flows through it. HVAC technician ***** A 'current' relay has a coil of low resistance wire (heavy gauge wire, few turns), and is energised only by a large current, such as the initial current of a motor starting. The relay coil is wired in series with the run/main winding of the motor, and the relay contacts are normally open. As the motor tries to start, the large current closes the relay, which momentarily brings the start/aux winding into circuit, allowing the motor to go. Used for split-phase and capacitor-start motors. A 'potential' relay has a coil of high resistance wire (light wire, many turns), and is wired in parallel with the start/aux winding, and the relay contacts are normally closed. At initial motor start-up, high curent will flow through both the run and start windings of the motor. As the motor reaches operating speed, the current reduces, and a "back EMF" is produced allowing current to now pass through the potential relay coil, and open the contacts. Used for capacitor-start and cap-start cap-run motors. Another HVAC technician. you sound like a real ahole. everyone in the field calls them potential relays, in addition look at a schematic on an AC and you'll find "PR" potential relay. what a dip#hit
How potential relay works in refrigeration?
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.
Can relay affect the regulator performance?
A relay can affect the regulator's performance by limiting power it receives. This can severely restrict performance and result in potential damage to the equipment.
Which relay is used for long transmission line?
distance relay..........
How can a relay be used to run a 9V electric motor?
A relay cannot be used to power a motor. It can be used to control the motor by wiring the motor circuit in series with the relay contacts.
Why guard relay is used in power plant?
A relay in power plants comprises three components namely voltage relay, thermal relay and current relay. It is used to power up an industrial equipment.
Which relay is used to protect generators and motors?
differential protection relay
Which type of relay is used in short transmission line?
Ohm relay.......
