Electromagnetic relay

The electromagnetic relays, which have a magnetic core and are matched to the fundamental frequency, may be sensitive to such disuirbtinces and may malfunction, sending erroneous signals. 

With application of solid-state technology, this shortcoming of an electromagnetic relay is automatically overcome. The solid-state relays are available with switching stages as many as from 2 to 16. For special applications, they can be designed for even higher numbers of steps. 

Normally the armature 336 is disposed as shown in Fig. 19 in the position maintaining the gate valves 160 closed. This is accomplished by maintaining the electromagnetic relay coil 334 energized from the power source 325 through the control circuit D. In the event that the neutron density in the reactor 18 reaches a predeter-...

A "fuse," as most readers know, protects against too much current flow by melting and thus breaking contact to the power source. It must be replaced after doing its protective job, while a "circuit breaker" (see index) can be reset after it has been "tripped" (operated to break contact), without replacing it. Sometimes a circuit breaker is an electromagnetic relay, and sometimes an SCR or Triac. 

The heating current is controlled by means of an electromagnetic relay, in conjunction with a thermo-regulator. The ordinary toluene-mercury r ulator (Fig. 17), modified as shown in Fig. 24, can be employed. 

Protection against overloading This can be achieved by an overcurrent relay. The basic requirement of this relay is its selectivity and ability to discriminate between normal and abnormal operating conditions. Three types of such relays are in use thermal, electromagnetic and static. Thermal relays are employed for motors of up to medium size and electromagnetic and static relays for large LT and all HT motors, as discussed in Section 12.5. 

Electromagnetic These are quickly outdated but we discuss these relays briefly below to give an idea of the basic operating principles of such relays. The same principle of application is then transformed into a static or microprocessor-based relay... 

Both rotary and mud motor systems use an electromagnetic wireline telemetry to relay the data from the near-bit sub to the mud telemetry sub. 

The new geosteering system offers measurements at the bit (below the mud motor) of inclination, rpm, azimuthal gamma ray, azimuthal resistivity, and bit resistivity as seen in Figure 4-298. The signals are transmitted electromagnetically to the MWD sub located above the mud motor, then relayed to surface with the standard mud pressure transmission system. To summarize, the following is recorded Just above the drill bit ... 

Now the coils inside the relay, what do they do The positive DC to the top of the first coil activates the coil around the core to create an electromagnet that opens the relay switch at the top (to allow the HV DC in) and then the current flows to the next coil which opens the switch at the bottom of the second coil. The diode shown in between the two coils makes sure current flow is only in one direction. The positive rectified DC activates the core to open the relay switches as indicated but the current must flow through the coils to activate the ferrite cores that control the switching. The cores can then conduct the higher amps through to the plugs. 

The electromagnet as an initiator is something of a paradox, it provides the fundamental principle of the relay, does not produce heat in any appreciable amount, and yet is very applicable to the practice of arson. Its physical makeup is exactly the same as the core of the relay, except that it...
