A dry contact is a potential free contact

A dry contact is a contact that does not provide voltage.
For instance, the push-to-talk switch of a microphone,
which just closes a circuit without providing voltage.

A wet contact is a contact that will provide voltage when
closed, like the switch on the wall that activates the 110
VAC outlet to turn a lamp on in a room.

Answer / shri gokul

Potential free contact means there is no volatge between
contact terminals. when coil of energized, it will get
closed / opened depends on contact position NO/NC

Answer / sk

Potential free contacts (also called "dry contacts") are
simply contacts which are physically operated with the main
device, but not electrically connected to it. For example a
motor contactor often has auxiliary contacts that are
operated by the main coil and open and close at the same
time as the main contacts but are not used for control of
the motor starter. If they are connected to an outside
circuit to indicate the status of the starter without being
powered by the motor supply they would be considered
potential free contacts.
These type also called Signal-Contacts.

A contact not used by owner is a potential free contact to the user.Think about a MCC and an Instrument panel.

Answer / narenkumar1985

DRY CONTACT IS A POTENTIAL FREE CONTACT(0V), USED FOR
CLOSING THE CIRCUIT.
WET CONTACT IS POTENTIAL CONTACT(+24V).
