@engineeringness: How Relays Work | And Why They Still Beat TRS Relays are a simple way to use one electrical circuit to control another, and they’re still widely used despite the rise of transistors and solid-state switches. In this video, we break down: • How relays work and what happens inside them • The coil, armature, spring, and contacts • How a low-power signal can control a much larger load • Flyback voltage and other problems like contact bounce and arcing • How to read relay ratings and choose the right relay • Why relays are slower than MOSFETs, but can still be useful • The different types of relays and where they are used By the end, you’ll understand how relays work, why they have some important limitations, and why they’re still useful in modern electrical systems.
