What size resistor is needed to allow a 220 volt coil in a relay operate on 277 volts?

You will need to know the amount of current flowing through the coil when 220 volts is applied across it. A resistor in series with the coil will limit the current so that the coil only sees 220 volts. The resistor will need to drop 57 volts. So, 57 volts divided by the current in amps will give you your required resistance. You will need a resistor with a high power dissipation rating with 57 volts across it. Your resistor will probaly need to dissipate several watts. For example: A 220 volt coil with 300 milliamps (.3 amps) will require a resistor of 733 ohms. The power dissipation of the resistor would need to be 17.1 Watts! You might try using a light bulb as a series resistor. Ensure that it can handle 57 volts. To complicate matters, is that AC or DC you are using? AC relays have inductance build in, in order to increase the specific "ac resistance", thus the same coil could use as little as 0,001A so you will need a very low value resistor. Anyway, if any 220V relay uses as much as 300mA, I doubt if you will be able to pick it up with one hand! Such a relay coil will draw about 66W of power! I have a 16A rated contact 230V relay. Its current is 0,0015A that is equivelant to 0.33W at 220V!

How do you wire a omron LY1-O- 24vac switching relay?
Look on the side of the relay case. Here you will find the pin configurations for the C class contacts and the pins that connect to the relays coil to operate the relay.
What is the function of relay in car?
Hi,a relay is a switch that takes a small amperage signal to operate a small electromagnet which in turn connects a higher amperage feed. IE when you pull the switch to flash you headlights the voltage from a small gauge wire goes through the switch on the steering column to a relay that in turn allows a much heavier gauge wire to operate the headlights. Once the switch is released the electromagnet will not have the voltage needed to keep the circuit connected and the lights will go out. Relays are really useful and are used to protect the wiring loom from damage.
What is the voltage to the fuel pump 12 volts or is it less than 12 volts?
Most fuel pumps operate on 12-14.2 Volts. (system voltage). Keep in mind that most fuel pumps operate off a relay and the relay is turned on and off by the engine computer. Most computer control the GROUND circuit of the relay to power it on and off. It is fairly common to have to replace the fuel pump in the tank as the brushes wear out after about 100,000 miles
Why ULN2803 is not directly connected to a relay why it is connected to a relay via microcontroller?
You actually have that reversed. A microcontroller is connected to a relay via a ULN2803 (or other power device driver IC) because the output pins of the microcontroller can't drive relays. The ULN2803 darlington transistors provide the power amplification and the inductive kickback protection needed to drive the relay while only lightly loading the microprocessor output pins.

How designing stabilizing resistor in restricted earth fault relay?
To determine the value of Stabilizing resistor Rs = Vs/Is = If(Rct +2Rl)/Is Where, Rs = resistance value of the stabilizing resistor Vs = voltage at which the relay will operate Is = current flowing through the stabilizing resitor and the relay If = maximum secondary fault current magnitude Rct = internal resistance of the current transformer Rl = resistance of attached wire leads
What is the relay next to the glow plug relay?
air charge resistor relay
What is pick up of a relay?
The "pick up" of a relay is a setting at which the relay will begin to operate. Such as an overcurrent relay - if the pickup is set to 5A, when 5A is flowing through the relay, the relay will operate.
No power at the blower motor resistor?
Since you're checking the resistor, I would assume you checked the fuse/relay for the blower motor. If not check that. If you have then there would be an open wire between the relay and the resistor.
Is a resistor and a relay the same thing?
No, they are not the same. A resistor is a current reducer and a relay is essentially a switch (using low voltage to switch high voltage on/off)
What technology words that start with R?
Resistor Relay
Where is the blower motor relay on a 1997 Chevy K1500?
The blower motor relay is located behind the glove box compartment beside the blower motor resistor. When you remove the glove box compartment, just look to the left of the resistor and the relay is located directly beside it with a metal retaining frame holding both the resistor and the relay.
What is the difference between a blower motor resistor and relay?
A resistor is an electrical item/unit that takes a pre-determined voltage & controls the output to various voltages. A relay is an electrical switch
What do you check for when your 2005 GMc Yukon Danali blower motor does operate?
I am assuming you are referring to the air conditioner blower motor. If so, check the fuses first. The resistor could be defective as well as the relay and fan motor.
Why is your blower only on fast?
Your blower is on fast because a relay that acts as a reostat that lowers the voltage to the blower depending what setting you put it in has blown out. Replace this relay and all will be well again. The relay in question is usually called a 'Blower Motor Resistor', is usually easy to replace yourself if you can operate a screwdriver, and usually costs between $15 and $50.
Why won't a blower shut off?
Normally if you blower will not shut off, you have a bad resistor or relay...most likely the relay...
What is the difference between led and relay interface?
LED interface requires typical 220 Ohm resistor in series While in case of relay resistor comes across coil with its value depends on supply voltage
