Relay Symbols and Electromagnets

The relay are switching electrical devices activated by signals. Most of the time, a small voltage or current is used to switch other voltages or higher currents that may be electromechanical or fully electronic type.
The electromagnetic controls are activated thanks to electromagnetic fields generated by electricity.
