Regular relays do not hum. If it does this means it's switching on and off
at certain frequency on which it's designed. Then it's not a relay it could
be one of these devices that convert DC to AC.

Re:RE: FW: Electrical background

2002-01-24 Thread dgoulet

Ross,

You've got to define hum.  A relay that is run off of an AC current can have
a VERY faint hum.  A relay that is running on AC current when designed for DC
current has a distinctive 'hum' sometimes more similar to a high speed clicking.
 Also a relay that has a coil nearing the end of it's life will 'hum' as defined
before.  The best test I know of in this case is to observe the relay's contacts
(possible only on open frame relays) in the dark.  If there is a faint arc
visible when the relay is suppose to be closed, it's time for a replacement.

Dick Goulet

BTW: Definition of 'VERY faint' is in a closed almost sound proof room with your
ear right next to the relay.
