2. Relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

   A small cradle relay often used in electronics. The "cradle" term refers to the shape of the relay's armature. If the relay is driving a large, or especially a reactive load, there may be a similar problem of surge currents around the relay output contacts. In this case a snubber circuit (a capacitor and resistor in series) across the contacts ...

3. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

   Armature reaction is essential in amplidyne rotating amplifiers. Armature reaction drop is the effect of a magnetic field on the distribution of the flux under main poles of a generator. [5] Since an armature is wound with coils of wire, a magnetic field is set up in the armature whenever a current flows in the coils.

4. Wire spring relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_spring_relay

   A wire spring relay is a type of relay, that has springs made from drawn wires of nickel silver, rather than cut from flat sheet metal as in the flat-spring relay. This class of relays provided manufacturing and operating advantages over previous designs. Wire spring relays entered mass production in the early 1950s. [1] [2]

5. Protective relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

   "Armature"-type relays have a pivoted lever supported on a hinge [12] or knife-edge pivot, which carries a moving contact. These relays may work on either alternating or direct current, but for alternating current, a shading coil on the pole [9]: 14 is used to maintain contact force throughout the alternating current cycle. Because the air gap ...

6. Shading coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coil

   AC relay with shading coil (red arrow near top) for operating with AC. A shading coil or shading ring (Also called Frager spire or Frager coil) is one or more turns of electrical conductor (usually copper or aluminum) located in the face of the magnet assembly or armature of an alternating current solenoid. The alternating current in the ...

7. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

   A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. They serve the same function as an electromechanical relay , but solid-state electronics contain no moving parts and have a longer operational lifetime.

8. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

   Its primary function is as the actuating coil of a contactor (a relay designed for large electric currents) which connects the battery to the starter motor proper. All modern cars also use the starter solenoid to move the starter pinion into engagement with the ring gear of the engine.

9. Stepping switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_switch

   In electrical engineering, a stepping switch or stepping relay, also known as a uniselector, is an electromechanical device that switches an input signal path to one of several possible output paths, directed by a train of electrical pulses. The major use of stepping switches was in early automatic telephone exchanges to route telephone calls ...
