 Relay
• A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input
terminals for a single or multiple control signals, and a set of
operating contact terminals.
Relay switch circuit
 Types of Relays
• Electromagnetic Relays. These relays are constructed with electrical,
mechanical and magnetic components, and have operating coil and
mechanical contacts.
• Solid State Relays. Solid State uses solid state components to perform
the switching operation without moving any parts.
• Hybrid Relay.
• Thermal Relay.
• Reed Relay.
 why relay is used?
• Relays are used to control high voltage circuits with the help of low
voltage signals. Similarly they are used to control high current circuits
with the help of low current signals. They are also used as protective
relays. By this function all the faults during transmission and reception
can be detected and isolated.
