Purpose of the Experiment
1)Provide an opportunity to gain knowledge of an electromechanical device (relay).
2)Demonstrate how measurements can facilitate the learning process in (1).
3)Introduce the students to concepts, more fully developed in MEEN 364 such as steady statevalue, time constant, electromechanical system, measurement, etc.
4)Gain experience in force, current, resistance and flux density (B) measurements.
Theory
The Electromagnetic Relay
Modern machinery and equipment contain many components that require simultaneousdesign of electrical and mechanical parts which functioninterdependently.
Some examplesinclude motors and generators that are studied in detail in ME 364. This interdependency isillustrated by the need of the motor (generator) to develop torque (voltage) which depends oncurrent (shaft speed).
