A device that opens and closes a set of contacts when its coil is energize?
The device is a relay. A relay may have several sets of contacts, or sets of open and closed contacts that "change state" as the coil is energized.Changing state means that the normally open contact will close and the normally closed contact will open when the coil is energized.
What is interposing relay?
It is a relay that has two states. in one state a set of contacts will make or break. In the other state the other set of contacts will make or break. One coil operating two sets of common, normally open, normally closed. each set of contacts will change states when the coil is momentarily energized.
How does an ice cube relay work?
The relay is used to "interlock" a circuit. It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary "normally open" or "normally closed" contacts. A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the auxiliary contacts. When the limiting condition is met, the coil will pull in and change the state of the auxiliary contacts. For example, if you want a lamp (lamp 1) to turn off when a second lamp (lamp 2) is turned on, lamp 1 would be wired through a "normally closed" set of contacts and lamp 2 would be wired through the coil contacts. When lamp 2 is turned on, the coil will pull in and open the "normally closed" contact for lamp 1, turning it off.

What is close contact relay?
A relay is an electrical switch. It consists of a electromagnetic coil and a set of mechanical contacts. Depending on the relay their could be multiple sets of mechanical contacts. The close contact lets current flow through the mechanical contacts when the relay is not turned on. When the relay is turned on current flow is stopped. This is called a normally closed contact or NC The open contact works the opposite of the closed and is referred to as a normally open contact or NO

What is the difference between current relay and potential relay?
I think what you mean to ask is; "The difference between a current sensing, and potential sensing relay. I've never heard of a potential relay. Relays are "pulled in" by applying voltage to the coil, typically 120Vac, or 24Vdc. A current sensing relay will close its contacts when it is wired to sense a particular amount of current. Instead of applying voltage (turning on) the relay, it closes contacts when current flows through it. HVAC technician ***** A 'current' relay has a coil of low resistance wire (heavy gauge wire, few turns), and is energised only by a large current, such as the initial current of a motor starting. The relay coil is wired in series with the run/main winding of the motor, and the relay contacts are normally open. As the motor tries to start, the large current closes the relay, which momentarily brings the start/aux winding into circuit, allowing the motor to go. Used for split-phase and capacitor-start motors. A 'potential' relay has a coil of high resistance wire (light wire, many turns), and is wired in parallel with the start/aux winding, and the relay contacts are normally closed. At initial motor start-up, high curent will flow through both the run and start windings of the motor. As the motor reaches operating speed, the current reduces, and a "back EMF" is produced allowing current to now pass through the potential relay coil, and open the contacts. Used for capacitor-start and cap-start cap-run motors. Another HVAC technician. you sound like a real ahole. everyone in the field calls them potential relays, in addition look at a schematic on an AC and you'll find "PR" potential relay. what a dip#hit

What is a nc contact?
An N.C. contact is 'Normally closed'. This applies to relays (electronic switches). You can use either a normally closedcontact or a normally open contact to do what you need, provided the relay has both and depending on your situation. Here's a recent example of mine: A building's fire alarm is wired to the HVAC system to shut down ventilation in case of a fire. In this case we want the HVAC to have power normally but remove power (with the relay) during a fire alarm. We would connect the HVAC power to the relay's N.C. (normally closed) contacts, because they are exactly that: normally closed. This would allow the HVAC to function. When power is applied to the relay, it would switch contacts, disconnecting power to the HVAC. An important note is that contacts and other electrical connections that can change condition (such as a relay) are described in a de-energizedstate. Thus, the N.C. contacts are normally closed, while the power to the relay is off. Likewise, a N.O. contact is open with relay de-energized but will close upon supplying power to the relay.
It will not. This relay is a Normally Open relay construction. The contacts are closed only when power is applied to the relay coil. You must use either an SPST-NC (Single Pole Single Throw – Nor?
It will not. This relay is a Normally Open relay construction. The contacts are closed only when power is applied to the relay coil. You must use either an SPST-NC (Single Pole Single Throw – Normally Closed) construction or an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) type of construction so a contact closure is presented when there is no power applied to the relay coil.

What does a relay do?
A relay is an electrically actuated switch. There are a number of contacts actuated by a soleniod. When the solenoid is energized the position of the contacts changes, "throwing" the switch. The terminology of switches and relay contacts is as such: (number)p-(st(no/nc)/dt) The number followed by p is the number of poles. This is the number of independent "switches" in the unit. The (number)p may be replaced with sp (single pole) meaning 1p or dp (double pole) meaning 2p. ST stands for single throw, there is only two contacts for each pole. ST is usually suffixed with NO or NC in relays standing for normally open and normally closed. Normally open contacts conduct when the solenoid is energized. Normally closed contacts conduct when the soleniod if off. DT stands for double throw, meaning that there are 3 contacts per pole: a common contact, a NO contact, and a NC contact. So: a 3p-st NO relay has 3 switches that close when energized. a sp-dt relay has one 3 contact switch. An electrically actuated 3-way switch, if you will. a dp-st NC relay has one switch that opens when the solenid is energized.
How does an electric relay work?
Relay contactsThe contacts could be in a normally open or they could be in a normally closed position depending on the type of relay it is. Most relays have their contacts in a C form configuration. This means that there is a common terminal to which the hot wire is connected and two sets of contacts one above and one below the common movable contact. In the de-energized state, between the common movable contact and the contact above will be in a N.C. (normally closed) position. This leaves the contact below and the common movable contact in a N.O. (normally open) position. The contact status is held in this position by a small spring. When the relay coil is energized, the state of these contacts reverse. The relay coils magnetism pulls on the coil armature, to which the common contact is attached, and over comes the pressure of the spring tension. The N.C contact becomes N.O and the N.O. contact becomes N.C. When reading an electrical schematic all relays contacts are drawn in the de-energized position.
