RELAY
ENERGIZED (ON)
Current
flowing through the control circuit coil (pins 1 and 3) creates a small
magnetic field which causes the switch to close, pins 2 and 4. The switch,
which is part of the load circuit, is used to control an electrical
circuit that may connect to it. Current now flows through pins 2 and
4 shown in RED, when the relay is energized.
