I’m a fire alarm service tech and we use pretty much relays for the most part. NO and NC. Pretty simple, but this was definitely informative and gave me more knowledge I can use out in the field. Thumbs up
Actually I am learning more in 10’S minutes in your videos than a year at work as a apprentice, yes I don’t have a good teacher over there . Great job men , God bless you .amigo .
Please show us using relays or more specifically RIB relays for wiring them up to a switch! I am working on these at work and that would be absolutely helpful! Thank you for your time and patience making these videos! I am a forever a subscriber!!!
Please keep up the good work. I love your videos and they are very easy for me to understand. I’m a residential electrician and I do not use or have I ever use half of what you talk about, but I am trying to apply for an industrial electrician job and your videos are really helping me and I just want to let you know that. Thank you and continue with the good videos, brother.
Excellent stuff, thank you. Never thought I would need to know anything about what you are talking about but I need to build myself something that will need relays and contactors and the two vids I have watched have helped out a lot from knowing nothing initially.
Would love to see a video on how to properly wire main panels and sub-panels and why ground and neutral is kept separate on every panel after the main panel but is joined together at the main panel. Thanks for the great videos.
For about three weeks, I have turned myself silly trying to figure out how to hardwire a multi speed whole house fan. I arrived at the concept of a "household solenoid," and then I came up with the word "relay." But then I hit a dead end, as I could not figure out how to take the next step. Your video seems to point the way. Thank you for your efforts. Your videos are excellent.
Ever since I was a kid I've loved turning relays into tasers. Use a 9v battery and set it up so the charge disrupts itself and cycles on/off with prongs coming off each end of the coil. Depending on the coil it puts out a hell of a discharge.
Electrician U , I’m a new guy myself I’ve only been doing Controls for about 2 years I work for Siemens and one thing I would have loved to know was the mindset you have to have when learning from somebody above you.
Thanks for the info Dustin. You talked about the uses with light circuits, but what about something like turning on a fan - or increasing the speed of a fan - once a certain temperature is reached? Would you use the same device, but instead of a photocell sensor it'd be a thermostat temperature switch?
Another good video. I have a small control box with a green on button, a red off button. I want to send 120 vac to three things when the on button is pushed. 1. A 120 vac indicator light. 2. An AC to DC converter. 3. To an aviation connector that sends the AC to another control box. What do I need? A relay that has three NO that turn to NC when power is applied? Is that an 11 pin relay? How do I wire that? Your help is appreciated. Thanks, Paul
Thanks my friend! I plan to, but I have to get through the next few months of content that I already have planned. I'm trying to build a large foundation for the basics before I dive off into more advanced stuff like that....but I will get there, I promise!
I have seen people wire up an ice cube relay base with round holes in the socket and then try to insert a relay that has flat blades. My advice is to check the number of the socket to ensure it is compatible with the relay you plan on using.
Great stuff - i know you have to simplify stuff but do contactors not have auxiliary contacts as well which can be used for more involved logic with NC and NO contacts? that would make them as usable as relays - is that right? obviously contactors are for motors and larger currents
Wish I knew this years ago on an interlock function for a 5' residential exhaust hood....I passed inpec using what I think was a flimsy sail switch!!!!
What I want to know, coming from a twelve volt DC background, is how the coil pulls in? In DC the current goes in one direction, very easy. With AC, do they use diodes and capacitors?
would the neutral be run straight through the box to the lights? its not switched obviously right? and just cus a realy is rated for 240v switching, you could still switch anything less than that right?
Does this mean, that the coil in the relay is engineered so, that a voltage of 24 is the lowest that can overcome the coils impedance? Or am I mixing shit up?
I would like to control a 1.5hp pool pump 120v rated 19amp using a microcontroller like an Arduino. So I need a relay or contractor with a 5v or 3.3v DC input. Any recommendations?
does anyone know if things like exit signs and emergency lighting units have relays in them? if so, how are they tripped or whatever if they operate when power is cut out?
Many "emergency light" systems have batteries inside the box. Often it is a lead acid battery about the size of a lawnmower or motorcycle battery. There is a small trickle charger and charge monitor circuit built in to the box that keeps the battery charged during normal situations (power is on). When the main power goes off, a relay kicks in which turns the emergency light on. This relay is controlled by some simple circuitry and a transistor or FET. If the system uses Lithium batteries, things are different.
I’m sorry but this video is a mess, the structure is all over the place. A better approach would have been: 1. Applications 2. Relay types 3. Technical details. Instead you vaguely hint at why relays may be useful ( primary benefit is it allows automated switching eg turning lights on at dusk) you mix that information in with a bunch of technical information at the same time that contradicts. For example you bring out a relay that uses 24 volt switching signal and then randomly start talking about 120 volt switching and then move to a different continent and start talking about 50hz relays…. Why? If this information was in a book format would your outline make any sense?

Hey man. Great video! I been watching you for a long time now. Just a personal opinion, the music/sound is pretty annoying/distracting. You didnt use to have it
You know, not that I don't like your explanations. But when you don't have it wired and actual examples of actual using it it's hard to figure out. Which is why I gave it a thumbs down. N now to find another video of being wired.
Most people at his level only use their knowledge to make fun of those under them. The world needs more ppl like him
I agree. Instead of sharing and teaching to make the job easier and better for everybody in the team
You’re the best teacher on electrical subject, God bless you for sharing
I’m a fire alarm service tech and we use pretty much relays for the most part. NO and NC. Pretty simple, but this was definitely informative and gave me more knowledge I can use out in the field. Thumbs up
So can an electrician also work in you’re area of expertise?
JmaCruiseControlfc yes
Is that low voltage?
Actually I am learning more in 10’S minutes in your videos than a year at work as a apprentice, yes I don’t have a good teacher over there . Great job men , God bless you .amigo .
Will you ever do a video on plc’s and their functions as well as vfd’s?
I would like that also
Engineering Mindset, check him out on UA-cam
Vfd ..thats variable frequency drive ..its a speed controller basically bro
I can see me being a co star on this
He probably doesn’t work in industrial where plc and drives would be used 24-7

Dude I've been watching you're videos. I cant wait to be an apprentice. I've been buying tools and learning so much. Thank you so much.
Excellent stuff, thank you. Never thought I would need to know anything about what you are talking about but I need to build myself something that will need relays and contactors and the two vids I have watched have helped out a lot from knowing nothing initially.
I'm really enjoying these vids. Showing eletrical stuff in a simple and intuitive way.
I'm glad you're getting something from them my friend, thanks for watching!

I love the vids, I supplement my classes with these videos and they really help reinforce what I am being taught. Thanks.
Best electrical videos I have watched on youtube.....very well explained....thanks

make a vid
Thanks a lot for your video. They are very helpful. Yes, please make a video on how to connect them per the diagram.
Blessings brother Blessings thanks much for your time and teaching be bless you and your family and company.
Love the videos man, I’m a controls tech and that is a great explanation for new guys in the field.
Thanks my friend, anything you think I missed or any other videos that you think the new guys could use?

@@bradycase8786 it's always good to have a mentor
just watched a old vid of yours on how to and i was wondering if you could do a vid on how to install lights in parallel or multiple lights together
Thanks for the info Dustin. You talked about the uses with light circuits, but what about something like turning on a fan - or increasing the speed of a fan - once a certain temperature is reached? Would you use the same device, but instead of a photocell sensor it'd be a thermostat temperature switch?
pbakai182 yes exactly, that would work. The thermostat switch leg would wire to the coil of the contactors or relay.
You are the best teacher on the planet! Thank you!
Can you explain how exactly a power packs work please

Hi Dustin, great video. Would you do some videos on motors/motor controls?
Thanks my friend! I plan to, but I have to get through the next few months of content that I already have planned. I'm trying to build a large foundation for the basics before I dive off into more advanced stuff like that....but I will get there, I promise!
Awesome thanks
Hi Sir
U have done good job.
need a video on speed control relay or speed regulator thanks
I have seen people wire up an ice cube relay base with round holes in the socket and then try to insert a relay that has flat blades. My advice is to check the number of the socket to ensure it is compatible with the relay you plan on using.
Thanx a lot for simplifying everything
I really like how you share the knowledge, amazing job!
I just started a few months ago as an apprentice on an industrial site and this helps a lot thanks!
From Canada looking forward too more of your videos ..the explanations are excellant ..cant wait for the advance relays stuff far as examples
Sweet video! 👍 Now you got to build some type automated monitoring and control system.
Great vids, bro! Video titles having episode numbers make watching easier. Kudos!
id like to see some advanced circuts explaned that utilize these
Thank you 🙏Sr. Much appreciated ✌️
greatest explanation ever! superb!!!!
Great stuff - i know you have to simplify stuff but do contactors not have auxiliary contacts as well which can be used for more involved logic with NC and NO contacts? that would make them as usable as relays - is that right? obviously contactors are for motors and larger currents
I am a new subscriber if u have time i would like to see videos of you wiring the relays for there use
Another awesome video!
Thanks for that follow up video after the contactor/relay video, excellent explanation!
No problem! Monday 8/12 there will be one like this on contactors that I think is even better than this one. So keep your eyes peeled for that
Can I manually time a contractor ?
Is there a time switch I can use?
Good Job
Great video
Very informative
it was really great,please let me know how can i watch all your videos sir.
BRO YOU ROCK!
Wish I knew this years ago on an interlock function for a 5' residential exhaust hood....I passed inpec using what I think was a flimsy sail switch!!!!
Thank you teach
Can I use a high voltage input to start a low voltage circuit? Do such relays exist? Ie energize the relay with 240v to activate a 24v circuit
Excellent video! Thank you so much
Are you saying that if the relay shatters it means not enough voltage going to it or the opposite. Saw mines shattering the other day
You need to make a video how to install a Relay please that will help a whole lot thank you for every video
Helped a lot Thx
What I want to know, coming from a twelve volt DC background, is how the coil pulls in? In DC the current goes in one direction, very easy. With AC, do they use diodes and capacitors?
Could you do a video on voltage drop?
I have a question whats the difference between a single throw and a double throw relay because they basically works the same
When normally open for the ice cube relay, Why is the 3 to the left of the common but 7&9 are to the right of the common ?
please do one on how to read the schematics. thanks
would the neutral be run straight through the box to the lights? its not switched obviously right? and just cus a realy is rated for 240v switching, you could still switch anything less than that right?
Cool spider tat. Thanks for the relay vid
if you have a 24volt coil relay there is another point to connect the common wire?
Hey man would you ever do a video about fire alarm systems? Cheers from a canadian third year!
Great video !!!
Big shout out to you brother. You saved me a bunch by watching your videos.
You ever look at Hydrostatic boilers systems?
Does this mean, that the coil in the relay is engineered so, that a voltage of 24 is the lowest that can overcome the coils impedance? Or am I mixing shit up?
I would like to control a 1.5hp pool pump 120v rated 19amp using a microcontroller like an Arduino. So I need a relay or contractor with a 5v or 3.3v DC input. Any recommendations?
Nice one ☝️
Great vid!
How does a contactor relay operate in tandem with a timer?
Very good videos
Much love bro
Great videos!
Can you do a video of transformers . Step up/down , potential transformer , current transformer.
You are top!
Do you know fire alarm systems ?
Greetings, an electrician told me the USA Is really supposed to work on 240 volts like Europe and not 120. You agree with that statement?
How do you wire NO vs NC?
@@numberoneduno7265 that definetly helps thank you.
I'd just like to see more over how they work in a real environment
does anyone know if things like exit signs and emergency lighting units have relays in them? if so, how are they tripped or whatever if they operate when power is cut out?

Does it matter on the coil if the neutral and hot are reversed.
Shouldn't matter as long as the voltage is correct.
@@Inflec thank you
These are excellent videos! Thanks for putting out the information in a straightforward, no fluff manner. This has been a great review for me!
Can any one recommend me any free book about control relay & their applications?
Normal means shelf position.
Nice spider tattoos (brother)
I've assembled Panels with theses before
brilliant mo fo
Lit
The real difference between the timer and the relay of my Question.
Its confuseing how two voltage
I’m sorry but this video is a mess, the structure is all over the place. A better approach would have been: 1. Applications 2. Relay types 3. Technical details.

Should have shown them a R.I.B.... confused lots of folks....
Relay=Solenoid Switch

I messaged you on Facebook
The statement of contractors not being normally open and normally closed at the same time is false.
Hey man. Great video! I been watching you for a long time now. Just a personal opinion, the music/sound is pretty annoying/distracting. You didnt use to have it
Everything is a switch
Instead of repeating the same thing over and over do field examples
