What is close contact relay?
A relay is an electrical switch. It consists of a electromagnetic coil and a set of mechanical contacts. Depending on the relay their could be multiple sets of mechanical contacts. The close contact lets current flow through the mechanical contacts when the relay is not turned on. When the relay is turned on current flow is stopped. This is called a normally closed contact or NC The open contact works the opposite of the closed and is referred to as a normally open contact or NO
How does a contact relay weld?
Too much current cause excessive heat and cuases melting of the relay contacts.
Can we respectively control the throws of a 2 form c relay?
A 2 form C relay has a common coil so, no, we can not respectively control the throws of a 2 form C relay. The two throws operate together.
What does a normally closed relay do when it is energized?
The term normaly closed means that in its normal state the relay or contact is closed. So when energized it will open and break the circuit.
What is a nc contact?
An N.C. contact is 'Normally closed'. This applies to relays (electronic switches). You can use either a normally closedcontact or a normally open contact to do what you need, provided the relay has both and depending on your situation. Here's a recent example of mine: A building's fire alarm is wired to the HVAC system to shut down ventilation in case of a fire. In this case we want the HVAC to have power normally but remove power (with the relay) during a fire alarm. We would connect the HVAC power to the relay's N.C. (normally closed) contacts, because they are exactly that: normally closed. This would allow the HVAC to function. When power is applied to the relay, it would switch contacts, disconnecting power to the HVAC. An important note is that contacts and other electrical connections that can change condition (such as a relay) are described in a de-energizedstate. Thus, the N.C. contacts are normally closed, while the power to the relay is off. Likewise, a N.O. contact is open with relay de-energized but will close upon supplying power to the relay.
