Fuel Pump Relay
Last Answer : Some car owners immediately suspect a fuel pump failure when their cars stall. However, there are many other engine problems that may resemble a fuel pump failure, such as restricted fuel filters, smashed ... advisable to bring your car to the repair shop so that the whole engine can be checked.

main parts of Relay
Last Answer : Coil, plunger, contacts, springs, connecting terminals and enclosure.

Last Answer : The torque produced in induction type relay (shaded pole structure) is inversely proportional to the square of the current.

Last Answer : Admittance relay is directional relay.

Last Answer : The relay with inverse time characteristic will operate within 5 to 10 sec.

Last Answer : The under voltage relay can be used for generators, busbars, transformers, motors.

Last Answer : Reactance relay is preferred for phase fault on short transmission line.

Last Answer : Induction cup relay is operated due to changes in current, voltage, impedance.

Last Answer : Interruption of large currents by relay requires arc suppressing blow out coils, wide separation of the opened contacts, high speed opening of contacts.

Last Answer : Overheating of relay contacts or contact born out is due to slow making and breaking of load circuit contacts, foreign matter on the contact surface, too low contact pressure.

Last Answer : A differential relay measures the vector difference between two or more similar electrical quantities.

Last Answer : Burden of a protective relay is the power absorbed by the circuit of relay.

Last Answer : In order that current should flow without causing excessive heating or voltage drop, the relay contacts should have low contact resistance, be clean and smooth, be of sufficient size and proper shape.

Last Answer : The relay operating speed depends upon the spring tension, the rate of flux built up, armature core air gap.
