    Relay demonstrations are essential in showcasing the functionality and applications of relays, which are fundamental components in various electrical systems. Whether it’s controlling high-voltage circuits with low-voltage signals or automating industrial processes, relays play a pivotal role in modern electronics and automation. These demonstrations help engineers, students, and technicians understand how relays operate and how they can be integrated into systems to enhance efficiency, safety, and control.

    The Basics of Relays
    A relay is an electrically operated switch that allows a small electrical current to control a larger current. Typically, relays consist of a coil, an armature (a movable part), and contacts. When a current passes through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that pulls the armature toward the coil, closing or opening the contacts. This mechanism enables the relay to control the operation of a separate circuit.
    Relays are used to isolate different circuits, allowing one system to control another without direct electrical connection. This is especially useful when a low-voltage control circuit needs to switch a high-voltage load or when safety isolation between circuits is required.
