 Additional Information
  • The term "control relay," or simply "relay" is normally used for small magnetic relays, and the term "contactor" is normally used for large relays used to turn large motors and other heavy loads on and off.

Questions
  1. Are the heavy-current contacts in the contactors we have been using single-break or double-break?
  2. What are some of the advantages of solid-state relays? (Circle all answers that are correct.)
    • a. By looking at the mechanical parts of the relay, you can tell whether the relay is on or off.
    • b. There are no moving parts.
    • c. They are resistant to shock and vibration.
    • d. They are sealed against dirt and moisture.
    • e. The control voltage is isolated from the line voltage (i.e., there is no electrical connection between the input and the output).
  3. Are solid state relays with a power transistor on the load side used to control DC loads or AC loads?
  4. Are solid state relays with a triac on the load side used to control DC loads or AC loads?
  5. What type of device discussed in Unit 7 is used to suppress transient voltages? ___________________
  6. In a solenoid valve, what is the purpose of a shading coil? ___________________________________ ________________________________________________
  7. Which type of solenoid valve is normally used to control hydraulic cylinders? Two way or four way.
