They normally are grounded... and you supply it with battery voltage. For a relay to work, it is grounded. Matter of practicality. Otherwise how would you complete the circuit? OTOH... What you describe that requires grounding to function, sounds exactly like a bona fide batt relay and they do get quite warm.... but not so hot as to give your finger a blister. When you run current through a wire coil and complete a circuit, in this case an electromagnet contactor, a by-product is heat. Resistors make heat. Unavoidable. Barnyard BOb - |
