Normally Open Relay Contact

The state conditions normally open no and normally closed refer how the contacts sit when the switch is off relay coil voltage is 0 etc.

Normally open relay contact.

A form b would mean the contacts are normally closed when the coil of the relay is not energized or the there is no magnetic field nearby in a reed switch. A form a would mean the contacts are normally open when the coil of the relay is not energized or the there is no magnetic field nearby in a reed switch. If it is a high limit such as a temperature alarm then the current temperature is below the limit. The contacts are open when the energizing force magnet or relay solenoid is not present.

When the energizing force is present the contact will close. When power is introduced an electromagnet pulls the first circuit into contact with the second thereby closing the circuit and allowing power to flow through. Normally open contacts would represent relay contacts that would perform a connection upon receipt of a signal. If it is a switch then it is off.

Normally open relays default in the open position meaning that when they re not in use there is no contact between the circuits. When voltage is applied this contact opens and interrupts current. If when a relay coil has 0 volts two contacts make a. In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes.

Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized. When current is applied to its coil the generated magnetic field switches the armature and closes the contact so you can say that it turned on the load fan light bulb etc. Normally open no contacts connect the circuit when the relay is activated. Of these contact forms the following are particularly common.

The no normally open spst single pole single throw relay has an opened circuit state when no current is applied to its coil so basically it disconnects the power to the load in the inactive state. As relay diagrams show when a relay contact is normally open no there is an open contact when the relay is not energized. Normally closed nc contacts disconnect the circuit when the relay is activated. Form a contacts make contacts are normally open contacts.

The circuit is disconnected when the relay is inactive. The national association of relay manufacturers and its successor the relay and switch industry association define 23 distinct forms of electrical contact found in relays and switches. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit. If it is a relay then it is not energized.

A form c would. Unlike open contacts with normally closed contacts signal will interrupt a contact or turn a relay off. Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized. This is simply the state that the contact is in when something else is not affecting it.
