English

Subject field(s)
  • Coils and Windings (Electrical Components)
  • Magnetism and Electromagnetism
CONT

What is [a] relay armature? A type of electromechanical relay made of coils and contacts. Energized coil induces movement of the armature via magnetic field, which results in opening or closing of the contacts.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bobines et bobinage (Composants électrotechniques)
  • Magnétisme et électromagnétisme
CONT

Par «courant de relâchement» un entend le courant maximum pour lequel une armature de relais retombe de toute sa course jusqu'à sa position normale, en fermant un ou tous ses contacts de repos.

Record 3 2009-07-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Relays
DEF

An electrical relay whose contact returns to initial condition after removal of coil energization.

CONT

A monostable relay has one stable state, on or off, where no power is consumed while the other state requires constant power to keep it there. As soon as the power disappears, it returns to the original stable state.

OBS

monostable relay: term standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Relais (Distribution électrique)
CONT

Relais monostable : C'est le plus courant des relais, lorsque sa bobine est sous tension, l'armature mobile actionne les contacts qui changent d'état. Lorsque le courant cesse, l'armature revient à la position initiale ainsi que les contacts.

OBS

relais monostable : terme normalisé par la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thermoelectricity and Thermoelectronics
  • Control Instrumentation (Mechanical Components)
DEF

A device which will actuate 1 or more switches when a heated bimetal warps sufficiently.

CONT

Thermal timer is an ON and OFF relay or switch whose contacts operate or reset after a fixed time delay of between 3 to 200 seconds from the time when the input power applied to the primary line. A conventional relay immediately operates upon power input to its coil. But the thermal timer operates after some time from the power input to heater or its removal from heater of which temperature will be sensed by the thermostat.
