Typically the relay will operate a switch (relay contact) to indicate that an input has surpassed a setting, or the relay can provide notification through visual feedback such as a meter or LED. One advantage of electronic or microprocessor relays is an ability to communicate with a network or a PLC. As an example, a thermostat can be evaluated using the diagram in Figure 1. The input that is measured is temperature and the protection relay input device is the temperature sensor. The user sets the desired temperature setting (pick-up level). The relay measures the existing air temperature and compares it to the setting.
Automotive Relays and How They Work. Automotive relays of all shapes and sizes can be found in just about every car, truck, and even boats. Relays in general are used to enable a low amperage circuit to switch on or off a higher amperage circuit, like turning on your headlights.f you were to try and directly hook up your headlights to the headlight switch you would exceed the amperage rating of the switch, melt wires, and risk an electrical fire. Relays are also used to switch multiple things at the same time using one output.
