Relaisbesturing

Relaisbesturing, or relay control, refers to the process of using relays to control electrical circuits. A relay is an electrically operated switch that opens or closes under the control of another electrical circuit. It consists of an electromagnet coil, a movable iron core, and one or more sets of contacts. When current flows through the coil, it magnetizes the core, pulling it into the coil and closing the contacts. This allows a low-power signal to control a high-power circuit. Relay control is widely used in various applications, including industrial automation, automotive systems, and consumer electronics, due to its ability to isolate different parts of a circuit and handle high current loads. While relays offer reliability and simplicity, they can be slower than solid-state alternatives and are susceptible to mechanical wear over time.
