Normally Open Relay Contact

Unlike open contacts with normally closed contacts signal will interrupt a contact or turn a relay off.

Normally open relay contact.

A form b would mean the contacts are normally closed when the coil of the relay is not energized or the there is no magnetic field nearby in a reed switch. The national association of relay manufacturers and its successor the relay and switch industry association define 23 distinct forms of electrical contact found in relays and switches. Normally open contacts would represent relay contacts that would perform a connection upon receipt of a signal. In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes.

If it is a relay then it is not energized. Of these contact forms the following are particularly common. If it is a switch then it is off. Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized.

This is simply the state that the contact is in when something else is not affecting it. When power is introduced an electromagnet pulls the first circuit into contact with the second thereby closing the circuit and allowing power to flow through. The state conditions normally open no and normally closed refer how the contacts sit when the switch is off relay coil voltage is 0 etc. Normally open no contacts connect the circuit when the relay is activated.

If it is a high limit such as a temperature alarm then the current temperature is below the limit. When the energizing force is present the contact will close. If when a relay coil has 0 volts two contacts make a. A form c would.

Normally open is a contact. When voltage is applied this contact opens and interrupts current. A form a would mean the contacts are normally open when the coil of the relay is not energized or the there is no magnetic field nearby in a reed switch. The circuit is disconnected when the relay is inactive.

Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized. The no normally open spst single pole single throw relay has an opened circuit state when no current is applied to its coil so basically it disconnects the power to the load in the inactive state. Form a contacts make contacts are normally open contacts. The contacts are open when the energizing force magnet or relay solenoid is not present.

When current is applied to its coil the generated magnetic field switches the armature and closes the contact so you can say that it turned on the load fan light bulb etc. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit. Normally closed nc contacts disconnect the circuit when the relay is activated. When a relay contact is normally closed nc there is a closed contact when the relay is not energized.
