    This document describes an activity to introduce students to using a relay to indirectly control a lamp via a pushbutton switch. The relay is an electromagnetically operated switch that connects the lamp when the pushbutton is pressed. Students will connect the circuit in both normally open and closed configurations of the relay and observe how pressing or releasing the pushbutton turns the lamp on or off by engaging the relay. The goal is to demonstrate how a relay can be used to remotely operate a circuit through a switch.

    Module 3

    Activity 02 - Indirect control of a lamp using a pushbutton switch and a relay.

    Objectives:
    • Introduce the students to the use of lab equipment.
    • Introduce the students to the use of DC power supply.
    • Introduce the students to the use of the pushbutton switches (NO and NC). •
    Introduce the students to the use of the relay and the associated contacts (NO and
    NC).

    Background:
    The relay is an electromagnetically operated switch; it will be used to indirectly control
    a 24V lamp through a pushbutton switch.

    Required Components:

    1- DC power supply
    2- Indicator unit
    3- Switch block
    4- Relay block

    Procedures:
    1. Connect the circuit according to circuit
    shown in Fig.1, so the relay is a normally
    open.
    Figure 1
    2. Switch on /off the pushbutton switch and observe the lamp and also the LED
    of the relay block. Explain what happens to the lamp?

    The lamp is not energized and does not illuminate when the pushbutton is
    released, and the lamp illuminates and it normally operates when pressed and
    held the pushbutton, through Relay block(K1) and make switch(K1). And
    through the break switch(K2) the connection only flows to relay block(K2)
    when pushbutton is pressed and held, and when pushbutton released the
    lamp glows and the connection does not flow to the relay block(K2).

    3. Replace the pushbutton switch with a detent switch and


    repeat the same steps. Explain what happens to lamp.

    When the on button of detent switch is pressed with the


    make switch(K1), the lamp illuminates. When it is off,
    there is no lighting. When the on button of detent switch
    is pressed with the break switch(K2), the lamp does not
    illuminate. When it is off, the lamp illuminates.

    4. Connect the circuit according to circuit shown in Fig.2, so the


    relay is in a normally close mode.

    5. Switch on/off the pushbutton switch and observe the lamp


    and the LED of the relay block. Explain what happens to
    lamp.
    It normally operates when the pushbutton is released and the lamp
    illuminates and when pressed and held the pushbutton, the lamp is not
    energized through Relay block(K1) and make switch(K1). And through the
    break switch(K2) the connection only flows to relay block(K2) when
    pushbutton is released, and when pushbutton pressed and held the lamp
    glows and the connection does not flow to the relay block(K2).
    Figure 2
    Conclusion

    The switch is used to interrupts the flow in a circuit and the flow of connection
    can be depending to the switches used and I think these circuits and switches
    show where it can be used like in on/off operation of devices or machine,
    emergency stop etc.
