Different Types of Relay.

Depending on the operating principle and structural features relays are of different types such

as electromagnetic relays, thermal relays, power varied relays, multi-dimensional relays,

and so on, with varied ratings, sizes and applications.

This video main aim is to give a brief idea about various relays that are employed for

a wide variety of control applications.

Some of these relays are described this video.

Electromagnetic Relays.

These relays are constructed with electrical, mechanical and magnetic components, and have

operating coil and mechanical contacts.

Therefore, when the coil gets activated by a supply system, these mechanical contacts

gets opened or closed.

DC and AC Relays.

Both AC and DC relays work on the same principle as electromagnetic induction, but the construction

is somewhat differentiated and also depends on the application for which these relays

are selected.

DC relays are employed with a freewheeling diode to de-energize the coil, and the AC

relays uses laminated cores to prevent eddy current losses.

Attraction Type Electromagnetic Relays.

These relays can work with both AC and DC supply and attract a metal bar or a piece

of metal when power is supplied to the coil.

This can be a plunger being drawn towards the solenoid or an armature being attracted

towards the poles of an electromagnet as shown in the figure.

These relays don't have any time delays so these are used for instantaneous operation.

Induction Type Relays.

These are used as protective relays in AC systems alone and are usable with DC systems.

The actuating force for contacts movement is developed by a moving conductor that may

be a disc or a cup, through the interaction of electromagnetic fluxes due to fault currents.

These are of several types like shaded pole, watt-hour and induction cup structures and

are mostly used as directional relays in power-system protection and also for high-speed switching

operation applications.

Magnetic Latching Relays.

These relays use permanent magnet or parts with a high remittance to remain the armature

at the same point as the coil is electrified when the coil power source is taken away.

Solid State Relays.

Solid State uses solid state components to perform the switching operation without moving

any parts.

Since the control energy required is much lower compared with the output power to be

controlled by this relay that results the power gain higher when compared to the electromagnetic

relays.

These are of different types: reed relay coupled SSR, transformer coupled SSR, photo-coupled

SSR, and so on.

The above figure shows a photo coupled SSR where the control signal is applied by LED

and it is detected by a photo-sensitive semiconductor device.

The output from this photo detector is used to trigger the gate of TRIAC or SCR that switches

the load.

Hybrid Relays.

These relays are composed of electromagnetic relays and electronic components.

Usually, the input part contains the electronic circuitry that performs rectification and

the other control functions, and the output part include electromagnetic relay.

Thermal Relay.

These relays are based on the effects of heat, which means - the rise in the ambient temperature

from the limit, directs the contacts to switch from one position to other.

These are mainly used in motor protection and consist of bimetallic elements like temperature

sensors as well as control elements.

Thermal overload relays are the best examples of these relays.

Reed Relay.

Reed Relays consist of a pair of magnetic strips (also called as reed) that is sealed

within a glass tube.

This reed acts as both an armature and a contact blade.

The magnetic field applied to the coil is wrapped around this tube that makes these

reeds move so that switching operation is performed.

Relays are also available with different pin configurations like 3 pin, 4 pin and 5 pin

relays.

The ways in which these relays are operated is shown in the below figure.

Switching contacts can be SPST, SPDT, DPST and DPDT types.

Some of the relays are normally open (NO) type and the other are normally closed (NC)

types.

Shiva Untold - Love and Loss of Sati - Sadhguru - Duration: 3:01.

(Sadhguru): Shiva's love for Sati was like I was just now telling,

when we were in the Kailash trip

people became weepy about what they missed.

They didn't miss anything,

but they felt they missed.

So it's one of those moments when you yield.

So Shiva's love for Sati is just like that –

it's one of those moments where he gave in

to the ways of emotion and to the ways of life.

That was not an eventual happening in his life,

that was just a small happening in his life.

It is his silence which is of utmost significance to us.

It is his silence which is of greatest value to us,

not his romance,

not his marriage,

not his wife's death –

not these things.

But how to talk about his silence? (Laughs)

There is no way to talk about his silence.

now that you have brought up the question. (Laughs)

Yes,

he went through all the throes of

romance and the death and the grief and the works.

But the moment he set it down, he simply sat there still, unmoved,

as if nothing had ever happened to him… nothing...

nothing had happened to him at all.

And in fact nothing had happened to him,

and nothing happens to anybody for that matter.

It is just that because

our psychological and emotional structures are such that

it is designed for us to enjoy the juice of life.

But unfortunately most people don't drink the juice of life,

they drown in the juice of life.

So Shiva also allowed himself that luxury from some moment.

When he thought it's enough,

he came out of it and sat there completely conscious

and in a different state.

So don't ever think that was the eventual happening.

That was just a small happening in his life and that was fine.

That made him kind of more human friendly

because people could relate to him

because he also grieved. (Laughs)

That gives some joy to all the people who are in different levels of misery,

that Shiva also suffered for a certain period of time.

But you need to understand it's just one of those moments

when he has given into the process of life.

But the moment he wants to stop it, he stops it immediately

and sits there untouched by any of these things.

Shiva Untold - Yogi, not a Philosopher - Sadhguru - Duration: 1:58.

(Sadhguru): Shiva is not a philosopher,

he's a yogi.

When I say he is not a philosopher…,

see it's very easy to be philosophical.

In fact,

the less you know,

the more the chances that you will become philosophical.

It's very easy to become a philosopher.

You just have to read a couple of books and misunderstand them,

you can become a philosopher. (Laughs)

The reason why you're talking about something that is written in a book

is because you have not perceived,

grasped life in any depth.

If you had even read a single page of this vast existence,

all your life you would be talking only that.

There wouldn't be time to talk about anything else.

So Shiva is a yogi,

purely existential,

not philosophical,

not intellectual.

This is not something that you can understand.

This is not something that you have to be convinced about.

This is not something that you have to agree with.

This is something that you learn to relate with.

If you can relate to it and experiment with it,

it will do miraculous things for you.

2016 | Stand Out Books of This Year [CC] - Duration: 12:00.

Hi, BookTube. It's Sylwia. So, I'm really, really

struggling this year about making a

favorites of 2016 video. What I did in

the last two years was that I would kind

of show you a flashback episode of

all my reviews of my favorite books but

this year i have not been able to create

a list of favorite books. The closest

I've been able to do for you is to come

up with a list of "standout" books, so

books that "stood out" the most for me

this year. I'm sorry. That's the best i

can do. I don't consider all of these

favorites. i consider a lot of them

favorites, though, but for some reason I'm

just uncomfortable saying that this year.

I don't know what my problem is, but

we're gonna do things a little

differently this year. So I came up with

six categories and I'm going to tell you

the standout books in those categories

and those categories are: fantasy, non-

fiction, literary, out of my comfort zone,

contemporary, and romance. I'm gonna say

it in that order because I feel like

that's the order that you guys want to

see? So we're gonna start off with

fantasy. I loved the Wings of Fire series.

So, I read The Dragon Prophecy, The Lost

Heir, and Hidden Kingdom. This is a

middle-grade violent series about dragon

protagonists. i read the first six

volumes of Fruits Basket which is a

shoujo ~magical~, I guess, series in which

this family is cursed and our

protagonist is the purest cinnamon roll

in the universe, and it makes me cry. I

loved the first two single issues of the

Princeless spinoff Raven the Pirate

Princeess and I love it because it has a

diverse set of characters and the

characters are amazing and I love their

interactions. I loved Harley Quinn: Hot in

the City. this is my absolute favorite

portrayal of Harley Quinn and I've been

a lifelong Harley Quinn fan because she

is a blue-eyed, blonde, mental health

professional, with a history of abusive

relationships. It's like looking in a

mirror. So, Harley Quinn means a lot to me

and this was my favorite portrayal of

her, ever.

I also really enjoyed the first two

volumes of the Ancient Magus' Bride in

which the fantasy is unique, the magical

elements are unique, there's a focus on

the magic less so on romance. There is no

romance,

thus far, even though she's his ~bride~.

I think it's gonna be a slow burn

romance and I'm actually really excited

for it to be very slow because there's

not a lot between them at this time. And

another book that I really don't want to

consider a favorite

but I needed to mention is Written in

Red, the first book in the Others series.

I loved this book even though it is the

most misogynist thing I read this year. I

want to say it is the most problematic,

most misogynist thing I read, but I love

it because it is brilliant

world-building, a glorious slow-burn

romance, and I love the characters even

though they were very two-dimensional,

except for the protagonists, they were

written pretty well. So, that was my

fantasy section. Moving onto my

nonfiction section. I loved The Art of

Pocahontas. So, this is a huge book

describing the development of the film.

There's a lot of photos, a lot of

illustrations.

I know a lot of people buy these Art Of

books to look at the pictures but I

actually read the text and the text was

beautiful. I loved learning about the

creation of this movie. The words were

touching. I think I cried or at least

teared up by reading this book. And I

loved it.

How to Win Friends and Influence People,

if I have not shoved down your throat

yet, I'm gonna do it now. It is amazing,

life-altering, everybody should read it. I

think it was written in the

1920's, you can correct me on

that, but it is about how to communicate,

how to talk to people, what people

actually want from you, so I think this

book is revolutionary. I think it should

be taught in schools from, like, birth

onwards, and it should be reiterated

every year because I think these are the

fundamentals that most of us are missing

and the mistakes that we make in our

lives are because we don't have this

information. But here it is. Here's the

information written very accessibly.

Please take it, and especially if you are

socially anxious, if you have social

phobia, if you have anxiety having to do

with people in any way, or if you're just

socially awkward, so those are two

different things, but if you're either

one of those things, you need to read

this, and then if you're neither of those

things, you need to read this. I also

really liked This Is How by Augusten

Burroughs. I know that Augusten Burroughs is a

very harsh person but I think his

ideologies are interesting to read. There

was a lot that he said that was very

healthy and positive and then there were

some other stuff that he said just

harshly. His, you know, opinions are very intense

and controversial? I don't know if

controversial's the right term. And

Augusten Burroughs is a gay man so if

you want to read some #ownvoices and he

is in recovery from substance abuse

disorder.

Lastly, I loved The Glass Castle. I

recently did my mini-review

of this. I thought it was a very

concisely-writte,n engaging, interesting,

consuming work. And I thought a lot about

poverty. fFr the next section we're going

to talk about literary fiction, so first

of all I re-read A Wrinkle in Time and I

loved every single chapter of it. It is

such a brilliant book. I don't even know

how it can be considered children's or

middle grade. It is like literary gold. I

loved every second of it.

It is one of my favorite books of all

time. I read Beautiful Darkness which is

this very subtle/vague graphic novel

about so many concepts and you read it

and you don't even realize what you're

reading and it's just subtle and so

intelligent and I'm like, in awe of it.

And then it is also gory and tragic in

just the best way, the best most

intentional way. And I just love it so

much. I didn't realize how much I loved

it until time passed and I just kept

thinking about it and learning about it.

It's so good. I also read Shortcomings,

which is realistic and contemporary and

it has characters of color. I think all

the characters are Asian (#ownvoices) and one of the

main side characters is a lesbian and

it's fantastic because all of the

characters are flawed and it makes you

think so much because they're telling

you all of their ideals and some of

their ideals are on point and some of

their experiences are so relatable but

at the same time some of their ideals

are so unenlightened and it kind of

makes you think. It makes you decide "well,

do I agree with this" or "do I disagree

with that?", blah, blah. I cried at the end. I

think I also really loved All My Sons.

This is just a typical, enjoyable classic,

I would say, when people recommend

classics to you, the experience of this

is exactly what I think we're looking

for when we read classics. Not to be

completely vague, but that's that's how I

feel about it. I loved Ask the Passengers,

which is a magical realism YA mostly

contemporar, but I consider it literary

because it was just that well written.

And All Summer- All summer in a Day or

something like that, or All Summer in

One Day, is a four-page short story and

i'm in awe that someone was able to

create a whole story in just four pages

that made me experience various emotions

and live through this story. It was just

such great writing, and I've never read

anything else by Ray Bradbury but I'm so

excited to! For the out of my comfort

zone section I read four books, one of

which i consider a favorite and three of

which i do not, but they definitely stand

out amongst all the books I read this

year. So, the one that I read that is a

favorite of mine that was out of my

comfort zone was The Diviners. This is a

paranormal and historical novel and it's

a bit scary at times, so those are all

three things that I don't like. Those are

not my preferences and yet i devoured

this book and its enormous and I

devoured the sequel and I love them and

all of this because the characters are

incredible. This is a great book for

people- lovers of characters. And I am

still in awe of how she was able to

develop so many subplots that weave

together with one another and with the

main plot. This book is incredible and

the audiobook is the best audio book

I've ever listen to, ever. So, now the

other three standouts in this section

that I don't consider favorites are:

Reconstructing Amelia because this is a

mystery/thriller which is a genre that I

do not enjoy but I genuinely enjoyed the

experience of reading this book and one

of the two protagonists is a lesbian in

it and she's discovering her sexuality

and engaging in her first relationship.

Then Pretty Little Liars. I really, really

enjoyed reading the first four books in

the series which is all I'm going to

read. I love the characters and I thought

this was really well-written. And

lastly, I read Come Closer which is one

of the only horror books that I ever

read, so I'm super proud of myself. That's

why this is making it to the list,

because i was able to read it and

survived it and enjoy it. And that's

really the only reason why it makes it

to the list.

So the next section is contemporary. I

left it for the end, almost, because I

don't feel like a lot of people enjoy

contemporary? But I do, so there's a lot

of books on this list. I love Simon vs.

the Homo Sapiens Agenda, which has a gay

protagonist and his love story and mild

coming out story. I love this because it

was so concisely-written. I still think

about that how there was not one

unnecessary word in this book. That is so

skilled. I'm going to say that all the

time and I'm so looking forward to more

work by Becky Albertalli. I loved If I

Was Your Girl because it was extremely

engaging. I read it in one sitting and I

think it was an important work and it

combined and easy contemporary formula

with realistic events and it was about a

trans girl! I loved The Categorical

Universe of Candice Phee. I read this in

January of this year and I think this is

one of the most underrated works i've

read. I recommend it to everyone. I need

everyone to read it. I thought it was

just a great story. If you like family

dramas, like, about families struggling

with something and overcoming it.

I think this is a middle-grade book but

i loved this family and going with them

and I did not know how things were going

to turn out and I adored it.

I also loved Cut which is about cutting.

It's a very, very short book and this was

a re-read and I loved it just as much.

This has one of my favorite fictional

therapists ever and it's just a great

mental health book. I loved Heroine

Shikkaku first and foremost because the

the act of reading, iIdon't really love

the act of reading, I haven't been a reader

all my life. I've only been reading for

the past three years, but reading Heroine

Shikkaku made me love the act of reading.

i just had the best, most enjoyable time

with this book. I read the first three

volumes and I love it because this is

kind of like a reverse-shipping kind of

a story because we as the reader are

rooting for the girl to NOT get the guy

and that is awesome and I love every

second of it.

I loved Chi's Sweet Home. This, like,

completely slice-of-life contemporary

about a little kitten, and it breaks my

heart. It breaks my heart,

this manga series. I also really

love My Little Monster, which I've talked

about a lot over these last few months. I

think it is one of the best written

contemporary works ever, so if you're a

fan of contemporary, you need to read it.

It is about learning how to grow up,

learning how to socialize, what even is

falling in love? But I feel like I say it

all the time so I'm, like, tired of

hearing myself talk about this manga. But

it's very, very good. And I loved Jem and

the Holograms vol.1. I loved it for the

characters. They are diverse and quirky.

Well-written. And i just adore them and I

adore their interactions and this has a

lot of different body types depicted,

which I need and we all need. You need! So

i love it for that. I also loved Giant

Days, which is about three protagonists

who were in college, one of which is gay,

and it's delightful. Just a great,

slice-of-life, contemporary work. And

lastly, the last category,

because I feel like nobody likes this

genre: romance! My favorite romance read

was my re-read of Dengeki Daisy which is

one of my favorite manga. The romance

gives me life. I love it.

This is my book boyfriend, really. I

don't think i have to say anything else.

So, those were the standout books of 2016

for me, most of which are favourites, some

of which i don't consider to be

favourites. Make sure that i have watched

your video on this topic. I love

favorites of 2016 videos and I have, like,

a project i'm working on. The same thing

I did last year, for those of you who

were here last year. So, I need to see

everybody's favorite of 2016 videos. Come

to me in the comments! <3

Favorite 2016 Debuts & New To Me Authors - Duration: 9:31.

Hey guys! It's Trina and this is my

December Monthly Recommendations video.

Our topic for this month was new to us

authors. We thought it would be a great

way to end the year by reflecting on the

authors that we discovered for the first

time this year. In 2016 I read a total of

twenty authors that I had never read

anything by before. Some of these I read

more than one book by them this year.

There were 12 authors who had backlist

titles, so some of these authors have had

dozens of books published in the past

or they have multiple series and I just had

never read anything by them before. Those

12 authors were Jojo Moyes, Michael Punke,

April Genevieve Tucholke, Adam Silvera,

Shannon Hale, Robin Talley, Melissa Grey,

Marisha Pessl, Becky Albertalli, Jessica Love,

Alexandra Bracken, and Ann Brashares.

The other eight authors who were new to

me this year were actually debut authors

so the first book that they've ever

published came out in 2016 and those

eight authors were Emily Henry, Emily France,

Roshani Chokshi, Jeff Zentner,

Shannon Parker, Sara Ella, Meredith Russo,

and Julie Eshbaugh. So out of these 20

authors there are ten books that were my

favorites of this list that I want to

recommend to you guys today. The one I'm going to

start with is the Sisterhood series by

Ann Brashares. She has many books out and I

read her entire Sisterhood series this

year. It's about a group of four girls

that have been friends all of their

lives and in the first book they are

facing their first ever summer apart and

they vowed to keep in touch by sending

each other letters and mailing this

pair of jeans that somehow fits all of

them back and forth hopefully to have

like these grand adventures and great

experiences while wearing these jeans

because they feel like the jeans are

kind of a symbol of their bond and their

friendship. There are five books in this

series and one of the things that I really

love about it is that it grows with the

characters from high school, to college,

and then the last book does have a big

time jump and follow them as adults.

I love many aspects to the characters and

their lives and I really loved the

friendships and how that was really the

forefront of the message in these books.

Next, I finally read Alexandra Bracken.

I ended up reading two books by her this

year and she's probably the most known

for her The Darkest Minds trilogy but I

actually started by reading Passenger

which came out in January and I really

had trouble getting into this book

but then by the end I had totally turned

around and was really really enjoying it.

Having read passenger first even

though it's her most recent book, that

really made me want to get into her

writing more so then I went back and

read The Darkest Minds. If you aren't

familiar with either of these, Passenger is

a time travel story. You travel to so

many different times and locations

around the world. I really enjoyed the

travel aspect, I thought she really

nailed the atmosphere of each location. I

really felt like I was traveling the

world in that book. The Darkest Minds is

a dystopian trilogy where in the future

teenagers have developed these psychic

mind powers. I really enjoyed both of

these and would recommend them both. The

next author who was new to me this

year that I would recommend is Jessica

Love. I read In Real Life by her and I

really really enjoyed this one. It is

about two people who have an online

friendship and one of them develops

feelings for the other one and she

decides to actually go and meet him in

real life and see if they have more than

a friendly connection. When she does

meet him she finds out that he may not

have been totally honest about some of

the things that she thought she knew

about him. I found the premise of this

book like totally interesting - this whole

thing with online friendships, online

dating, people portraying themselves in a

certain way online. It is a pretty fluffy

kind of contemporary novel but I blew

through it in like just a couple of

sittings and I really appreciated that about it.

Becky Albertalli was also a new-to-me

author this year. I read Simon vs. the

Homo Sapiens Agenda. This book was my

favorite book of the year. It was

number one in my best books of the year

list. If you missed that video, by the way,

I'm gonna put a link to it down below

where I do talk about my six favorite

books of the year.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

was number one. If you aren't familiar with

this one, it is about a boy named Simon

who is not out to school or to his

family but he is gay.

He has a crush on a boy that he knows

online and all he knows about this boy

is his nickname and that he goes to his

same high school but he's not out either.

So Simon is having these feelings and

maybe wanting to come out and also

figuring out who his online crush is. It's

so adorable and it really really

captured the feelings of high school

crushes and online relationships and

like friendships to romance and stuff like

that. I really enjoyed this book so much

and just... I loved it. I loved it. I loved it! It's my

book of the year, of course I loved it.

This year I also read Melissa Grey for

the first time. I read The Girl at

Midnight and its sequel, The Shadow Hour.

This is an urban fantasy series that has

a lot of elements to it that I think

fans of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone

series would love. Like, there's just a lot

of good things about it that are common

in very popular YA series. It is also

own voices in terms of the Latina main

character and there are some male/male

relationships and I just thought it was

a very exciting thing so I enjoyed it and I

would definitely recommend it.

Next, I really enjoyed Night Film by

Marisha Pessl. This is an adult mystery

novel and I just enjoyed this book and

like how it made you wonder which thing

was true because it kind of set up the

story to go a couple different ways. It's

about a director who's very famous and

very reclusive. His daughter ends up dead

one day. It was declared a suicide by

police but there's a little bit of like

evidence that says maybe she was

actually murdered. And the main character

we follow is a journalist who decides

he wants to start investigating this

case because something just has never

felt right about this girl and her

father and maybe like their whole family

and the relationship they have with each

other and he thinks she was being

haunted by some kind of demons from her

past and he's trying to figure out what

that was. The next four books on this

list are all of my debut authors who I read

this year, so first of all I have to

mention Sara Ella. She wrote

Unblemished. She is one of my good

friends and she is a fellow booktuber so

I'm gonna have a link to her channel down below.

Unblemished is an urban fantasy series

about a girl who discovers that there

are parallel worlds and there's another

parallel world where she finds herself

wrapped up in this ongoing eternal

battle between light and darkness. There

are so many fairytale-esque themes in

this book and I just really think if you

like fairy tales you would enjoy this one too.

This is the start of a trilogy so I did

feel like it was kind of complicated for

me to keep up with all the characters

and all of the world building that was

going on but this is a story that was very

unique and it did stand out to me and I

can't wait to see where this series goes.

I also really loved The Girl Who Fell by

S. M. Parker. This is another book that made

it into my top six list of the year. It

just was such an impactful story to me.

This one is about an abusive

relationship. You know that from the book

jacket, from the summary, and you're

watching these two characters meet and

how they get involved with each other

and then how the main female character

figures out that this is not a healthy relationship.

The writing was really easy to read, it

kept me engaged. I like that in some

parts this book took stereotypes about

abusive relationships and ran with it

because those things are stereotypes for

a reason, and then in other ways the book

kind of broke out of different

stereotypes. I do feel like it's such an

important thing to talk about in YA

fiction. This is definitely not like the

only book out there that handles abusive

relationships for young adults but we

need more like this and I really

appreciated that this book was giving us

a story like that.

Next is Meredith Russo who wrote If I

Was Your Girl. This is a book about a

trans girl and the author is also a

trans woman so it is own voices.

Primarily, this is a contemporary romance.

This is about Amanda after she has

transitioned, having her first relationship

with a boy and she's moved to a new

school where people don't know that she

is trans. We also have flashbacks that

show what it was like being bullied as a

young child. There were a couple of

things about the writing and like the

progression of the story that weren't my

favorite but this is still a book that I

really loved. I would consider it one of

my favorites of the year even though it

didn't quite make the top six but I

highly highly recommend this one.

And finally I would recommend Ivory and

Bone by Julie Eshbaugh. This is the first

book in - I think it's going to be a

trilogy. This one is set in a prehistoric

time period which I've never really read

about. It is kind of a romance but it's a

very slow burn romance. like hate to love

type of situation. It is very reminiscent

of Pride and Prejudice and that is because

it is a kind of inspired by, very loose

retelling and I knew that going into

this book and it made it so fun for me

to read it and kind of figure out which

character was representing which

original character from Pride and

Prejudice. Another thing that was

really interesting to me about this book

was the way that it was told. I know that

this did not work for everyone but it

really worked for me - it is told in kind

of a second person narrative. The book

starts with our character Kol telling

Mya the story of how he met her. That,

plus the prehistoric time period which I

have never really read anything set at

that time just made this story really

refreshing and unique to me and I really

really enjoyed it.

So those are my 10 favorite books that

were by new to me authors that I

first read this year. I definitely am

looking forward to reading more by

all of these authors. I do also want to

quickly say that although they did not

make it into my top 10 favorite books

Robin Talley, Adam Silveira, and Roshani

Chokshi are also new to me authors this

year that I want to read more by. Let me
