The reason the relay humms or buzzes is that the pole faces on the relay are not aligning properly. This could be a result of the relay being out in the weather and developing a coat of rust on it. If the relay stops the noise when given a tap on its side then that is the cause. The other cause could be from a broken shorted turn. The use of laminations in an ac relay reduces the heating due to eddy currents. In addition, a copper strap or ring (called a shorted turn) is placed near the end of the pole piece of an ac relay to reduce chatter during operation. Because the ac is going through a peak, dropping to zero, going through a peak in the opposite direction, and then dropping to zero again during each complete cycle, the coil tends to release the armature each time the current drops to zero and attracts the armature each time it reaches a peak. The shorted turn acts as the secondary of a transformer, the primary of which is the relay operating coil. The current in the shorted turn is out of phase with the current of the operating coil because the copper ring has low-inductive reactance. Thus, when the operating coil flux is zero, the flux produced by the shorted coil is different from zero, and the tendency of the relay to chatter is reduced.

How do you check the under voltage relay?
The way you check to see if an under voltage relay is wired properly is to disconnect the electrical supply. If the device that is connected to the load side of the relay does not start up or energize when the electrical supply is reconnected, then the relay is connected correctly.
Can you define the term OCR in electrical terminology?
OverCurrent Recloser, or OverCurrent Relay.
What is difference between reverse power relay and directional relay in electrical protection?
A reverse power relay is a directional overcurrent relay. Directional relays are relays that sense power flow in one direction, and include (directional) overcurrent relays, reverse power, and impedance based relays. So a reverse power relay is a directional relay, but a directional relay is not necessarily a reverse power relay.
Why would relays be used in place of PLCs?

How an electrical relay works?
A relay will have a control circuit and a function circuitcould be the same feed line. One set of terminals (Hot and Load) can be activated at all times, but will not function until the control circuit is closed. The control circuit has a Hot and a Ground--when activated either by supply hot or ground by switch. The internal coil closes allowing the function circuit to operate. The purpose of this relay is to reduce the spike to the alternator. It takes less current (voltage) to close the coil on the relay than it would to operate the accessory that it controls
Internal circuit of an electrical relay?
basic circuit of electrical protective relay
What is a electromechanically relay?
A relay is an electronic switching device that opens or closes a circuit. An electromechanical relay would be one that is opereated remotely using an electrical circuit that mechanically operated the relay, which in turn opens/closes the second ciruit.
Do nerves relay messages?
Nerves relay messages by transmitting an electrical impulse.
Where can I find a electrical relay for my Berkline lift recliner?
An electrical relay for a Berkline lift recliner can be found online at Allied Electronics (www.alliedelec.com)
What is the purpose of an automotive relay?
The Purpose of a Relay is to control multiple electrical components at once.
Why does the fuel pump continue to hum after starting on a 98 Chevy truck?
All electrical fuel pumps hum while running. As they get older they may get a little louder but it's normal.
What is work of relay?
A relay is an electrical device that opens or closes in response to a small electrical current or voltage. This makes or breaks the connection in another device.
Why does my clothes drier have an Electrical hum when I turn it on but doesn't work?
the starting switch on the motor not closing properly

Can cats hum?
Yes, although it is more common for them to purr. Usually they don't hum, what would be point?
What would cause a bad main relay to trigger the check engine light on a 94 Accord EX?
The main relay will give an check engine light to indicate that the electrical system is bad.
What does the starter relay do in Chevy Malibu?
Starter relay protects the ignition switch from excessive electrical draw.
