One of the basic functions of switchgear is protection, which is interruption of short-circuit and overload fault currents while maintaining service to unaffected circuits. Switchgear also provides isolation of circuits from power supplies.
There are two relays in the flasher unit. I call them the master and the secondary relays. Here is a functional schematic of the flasher unit. When the turn signal is activated with the right hand side thumb switch the transistorized timer circuit in the flasher applies a pulsating signal to the master relay coil. This sends a current through the secondary relay coil as well as lighting up the signal lights on the motorcycle.
