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).
The two types of relays commonly used to start a hermetic compressor are the current relay and the potential relay. The current relay activates based on the compressor's starting current, while the potential relay relies on voltage changes to determine when to switch the compressor on and off. Both types help ensure that the compressor starts efficiently and operates within safe parameters.
the relay in the compressor helps it to respond to pressure increase or decrease process in relation to a gas.
It is used to move things. It is also used to generate electricity.
Bellows in steam pipes are used to absorb thermal expansion and contraction of the pipe material due to temperature changes. They allow for movement and flexibility, preventing stress and potential damage to the piping system. Additionally, bellows can accommodate misalignment and vibrations, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the steam piping infrastructure.
A collating machine is used to organize and assemble multiple sets of printed materials, such as documents or brochures, in a specific order. It automates the process of sorting and stacking pages, making it efficient for tasks like producing booklets, reports, or promotional materials. By streamlining the collating process, it saves time and reduces the potential for human error in manual sorting.
current relay are using for over current low state & high state.but potential relay are related to voltage.
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.)
Both Current and Potential Transformers are used for relays according to the working of relay.

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)
Two types of relays commonly used to start a single-phase compressor motor are the current relay and the potential relay. A current relay operates based on the current flowing through the motor, providing a boost to start it by engaging the start winding until the motor reaches a certain speed. In contrast, a potential relay uses the voltage across the start winding to activate and disconnect the start winding once the motor is up to speed. Both relays ensure efficient motor operation while protecting against potential damage.
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
distance relay..........
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.
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.
The potential relay, often used in single-phase motors, functions to disconnect the starting circuit once the motor reaches a predetermined speed. It does this by sensing the voltage across the motor's start winding; when the voltage drops to a specific level indicating the motor is running, the relay opens the circuit to the start winding, preventing overheating and damage. This ensures efficient operation of the motor by allowing it to transition from starting to running mode seamlessly.
