How Relays Work





Some types of relays

I've receive many emails concerning this subject. Relays are essential for automation systems and for controlling loads. Also, relays are the best way for galvanic insulation between high and low voltage portions of a circuit. There are hundreds of different relay types. Let's find out first how a relay operates.



Basic Relay Operation
The Contacts

Before extending to the various types of relays, i will first explain what and how the basic relay operates. Each relay has two mechanical parts inside. The first one is the contact(s) of the relay. The contacts operates similarly to the contacts of a simple switch or pushbutton. You should consider the contacts as a pair of metals like the following diagram:





The two terminals operates as a switch. When the contacts are 'in contact' then the current flows from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. There are two types of contacts: the NO and the NC. NO stands for Normal Open contact, while NC stands for Normal Closed contact. The Normal Open is a contact like the one showed in the previous illustration. When the contact is still, then no current flows through it (because it is an OPEN circuit). On the other hand, a Normal Closed contact allows the current to flow when the contact is still. Bellow i illustrate both of these contacts:





You may notice that the NC contact is turned upside-down compared to the NO contact. This is done in purpose. This way, both contacts (NO and NC) will change state if a force is applied to the left metal heading from UP to DOWN. The following animation shows how a NO contact operates by lighting a light bulb:





As for the NC contacts, it works exactly opposite as the NO contacts. Look the following animation:







A combination of contacts

A relay may have a combination of the above contacts. Look at the following illustration





In this case, there is a 3rd terminal called "COMMON". The NO and NC contacts are referred to the COMMON terminal. Between the NC and the NO contact, there is no contact at any time! The following animation shows how this pair operates:







And WHO defines the NORMAL state?

OK, we have the NORMAL open and NORMAL closed contact. But which state is considered as NORMAL? Going one step closer to the relay operation, we find the spring. This spring defines the NORMAL position of the COMMON contact. If you see the above 3 animations, you will notice that one time an F force is applied to the COMMON terminal, and the other time there is no force applied. Well, this is actually wrong. There is indeed another force that pulls the contact towards UP and this force is applied ALL the time. This force comes from the spring. Look the following image:





Now you can see who is pulling the COMMON terminal UP all the time. So the spring defines what is the NORMAL state, and thus defines which contact is the NORMAL OPEN and which the NORMAL CLOSED. In other words, the NORMAL state is defined as the state that there is NO other force applied to the COMMON terminal except the one from the spring.




The last part - WHO moves the common contact of the relay?

This is the last part of the relay operation. The device that forces the terminal to move, is actually an electromagnet! A coil is placed right under the contact. When current is flown through this coil, a magnetism is created. This magnetism can overcome the force of the spring and can pull the contact towards it, thus it changes it's position! And due to the fact that the contact is usually a small piece of metal not capable to be pulled by the electromagnet, another piece of metal is attached to the common. This piece of metal is so called "Armature". Following is (at last) the complete illustration of the basic relay:





Now, imagine that someone wants to control a 220Volts 1 K-Watt load with a command that comes from a 5 Volts battery. A load-Relay should be used for this application. The Coil of the relay is driven with the 5 Volts. The contacts from this relay (NO) will be connected in series with the power supply of the load. Thus, the load will only operate when the relay is actuated. Our friend bellow will turn on an electric oven bare-handed!!!

    • Well here is the deal. Long long time ago, the switches were like "knife" switches (check this page http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Open_knife_switch.jpg)
      See the similarity of a relay contact? The blade connects to the common, the other end that the blade goes in is the NO contact. So, it was common place to connect the live to the NO contact as safety measures, so that when the switch was off (open) the blade that was exposed would have no power.
      BUT, this is not common use an more. Here is the other deal. If you want the relay to switch power between two loads, then the the live should go to common. Say for example that you want to power a traffic light for pedestrians, it can either be GREEN or RED, never both. So you connect the common to live power, the NC to RED and the NO to GREEN. Arm and disarm the relay to turn each of the lights ON or OFF...

      So, it has to do with the operation that you want to perform.

    • Thanks a lot Giorgos..

      I am new to working with Relays. Therefore, I have just one more question :-

      In various other tutorials on Relays, I saw that LIVE wire was always connected to the 'Common' port of relay, and neutral to NO/NC (via Bulb/Microwave).

      Is there any specific reason for that ?

      I personally think that even if we connect the LIVE wire to NO/NC, and COM to neutral wire, it does not matter. It is one and the same thing.

      But still wanted to have your view on that. Anything related to safety or something ?

  • At 28 December 2014, 10:20:19 user Pammi wrote:   [reply @ Pammi]
    • This is so clear. Thanks !

      I have a small Doubt: Why is the microwave (or any other AC component) is connected to power via NO/NC? Can we not the AC component to power via Common port of the relay ? Will there be any issue?

      As i want to integrate my device with the SCADA system they asked me to provide signal to SCADA device for 5 sec( means i want to complete there circuit using a potential relay) with the help of potential relays only.
      Or can i use any kind of relay to complete there circuit.
