  2. Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

    A relay Electromechanical relay principle Electromechanical relay schematic showing a control coil, four pairs of normally open and one pair of normally closed contacts An automotive-style miniature relay with the dust cover taken off. A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple ...

  3. 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.

  4. Reed relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_relay

    (from top) Single-pole reed switch, four-pole reed switch and single-pole reed relay. Scale in centimeters. A reed relay [i] is a type of relay that uses an electromagnet to control one or more reed switches. The contacts are of magnetic material and the electromagnet acts directly on them without requiring an armature to move them.

  5. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    Published in 1984 by Karl Johan Åström and Tore Hägglund, [25] the relay method temporarily operates the process using bang-bang control and measures the resultant oscillations. The output is switched (as if by a relay, hence the name) between two values of the control variable. The values must be chosen so the process will cross the ...

  6. High-voltage interface relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_interface_relay

    High voltage interface relays, a.k.a., interface relays: [1] [2] or coupling relays or insulating interfaces [3] [4] is a special class of electrical relays designed to provide informational and electrical compatibility between functional components isolated from each other and not allowing for a direct connection due to a high difference of potentials.

  7. Mercury relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_relay

    Normally closed mercury relay, with coil around top of tube and adjustable angle. A mercury relay (mercury displacement relay, mercury contactor) is a relay that uses mercury as the switching element. They are used as high-current switches or contactors, where contact erosion from constant cycling would be a problem for conventional relay contacts.

  9. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    A definite time over-current (DTOC) relay is a relay that operates after a definite period of time once the current exceeds the pickup value. Hence, this relay has current setting range as well as time setting range. An instantaneous over-current relay is an overcurrent relay which has no intentional time delay for operation. The contacts of ...
