    In electrical systems, relays play a crucial role in controlling the flow of electricity. One of the most important factors in understanding how relays function is the concept of relay voltage. This article will explore what relay voltage is, its importance in the operation of electrical systems, and how brands like Meishuo have contributed to the development of high-quality relays.

Relay voltage

    What is Relay Voltage?
    Relay voltage refers to the voltage applied to the coil of a relay, which controls the operation of the relay. When an electrical current passes through the relay coil, it generates a magnetic field that either opens or closes the contacts within the relay. This action allows a circuit to either be completed or interrupted, depending on the design of the relay. The relay voltage must be carefully matched to the specifications of the relay to ensure proper operation.
    The voltage applied to the relay coil is typically either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current), depending on the type of relay and its intended application. The voltage needed for the relay to function correctly is often referred to as the "coil voltage," and it is important for the voltage to be within the operating range specified by the manufacturer.
