Relay

The relay can be known as a relay or relay.

Relay is a term from the English language that is not part of the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). The concept can be translated as relay , relay , relay , post or relay .

Generally, in our language the notion of relay is used to name the relay , a switch controlled by an electrical circuit that, through an electromagnet and a coil , defines the closing or opening of other circuits .

Operation of a relay

The relay works like a switch , allowing or denying the passage of electric current. There are different types of relays: the reed relay , the alternating current relay , the electromechanical relay and the solid state relay are just some of them.

What a relay does is control a high voltage with a low voltage return. This means that the relay favors the control of a significant amount of electricity with a reduced amount of operation. Thanks to its characteristics, it is possible to remotely switch and provide security to various types of devices that require electrical energy for their operation. The relay, through its contacts, closes or opens the electrical circuits, generating or interrupting the connection.

Electrical connection

The relay is a switch that, by means of an electromagnet and a coil, determines the opening or closing of an electrical circuit.

The concept in computing

In the same way, it must be established that there is also what is known as open relay . Under this name there is an element, also called open relay, which is related to the world of computing and the Internet . Specifically, it is an SMTP type server that has been configured and programmed in such a way that any Internet user can use it to send emails through it.

At the beginning of the Internet, the aforementioned open relay was most successful, but with the passage of time and due to various circumstances, because it favored the existence and expansion of both worms and spam in general, it has declined. Thus, there are many systems based on it that have closed or have simply stopped being used.

Frame relay , on the other hand, is a technique for transmitting data and voice through the use of frames . Frame relay consists of packet switching with different frames for data that can be transmitted at high speed and interconnect local area networks that are distant.

Relay Chain

We cannot ignore either that there is an important international chain that responds to the name of Relay . It is a brand that has a presence in more than twenty countries and has become a benchmark for offering a wide variety of products in its stores in travel environments, such as airports, train stations, bus stations. …

Specifically, travelers who are in one of those spaces where there is an establishment of that brand will be able to buy everything from newspapers to all types of magazines, including books, confectionery products such as chocolate bars and various types of accessories.
