A Relay unit is an electrically operated switch that controls
a circuit by
opening or closing contacts in response to an external electrical signal. It
consists of
a coil, armature, and contacts, allowing low-power signals to control
high-power
devices. Relays are widely used in automation, telecommunications, and
electrical
protection systems. They come in various types, including electromechanical,
solid-state, and time-delay relays, each suited for specific applications.
Their ability
to provide isolation between control and power circuits makes them essential
in
industrial and commercial electrical systems.
