Relay and Its Construction
• A relay will usually have only one coil but may have any
number of different contacts.
www.knust.edu.gh
9
Principle of Operation of a Relay
• When the coil is energized, the armature is
attracted to the iron core inside the coil.

10
Principle of Operation of a Relay
• The two stationary contacts form the
normally closed and normally open contacts.

Types of Relays
• Electromechanical Relays
• Solid-State Relays (SSRs)
• Protective Relays
• Timing Relays
• Thermal Relays

13
Construction of a Relays
• The main reason for the laminated core is the core losses associated
with alternating current caused by the continuous changing of the
electromagnetic field.

Solid-State Relays

17
Solid-State Relays
• When energized, the relay contact closes, supplying power to the gate of
the triac that connects the load to the line
• There are three main types of solid-state relay isolation methods used in
SSRs, i.e., optical, transformer, and reed.

18
Timing Relays
• The contacts will open or close before or after a pre-selected and timed
interval.
www.knust.edu.gh
19
Timing Relays
• Time delay relays can be divided into two general classifications: the
on-delay relay and the off-delay relay
• The on-delay relay is often referred to as DOE, which stands for “Delay
On Energize.”

Clock Timers
• The gear ratio connected to the motor would determine the full
range of time for the timer.

Motor-Driven Timers
• This kind of timer typically comprises a cam-dial assembly being
driven by a tiny, synchronous motor on a shared shaft.

Thermal Overload Relay
• They will trip faster when located in a warm area than they will in a
cool area.
• Thermal overloads can be divided into two types: solder melting type
or solder pot, and bimetal strip type.

• The relay has adjustable trip points that can be set based on the
desired protection level or equipment rating.
