Answer Posted / jesus
Relays and Contactors are electromagnetic switches. The only
difference is that relays are usually used for low voltage
applications while contactors are used for higher voltage
application. Contactors usually have Overload protection.
Some examples that I can give (at least in Manufacturing of
Industrial Control panels):
-Relays are use as electromagnetic switches to control
certain parts of a circuit (low voltage application). A
better example would be such as if you want your circuit to
sound a horn when a certain abnormality is happening at a
certain period of time, then depending how you set up your
circuit, a specific relay will either open or close and you
horn will start making the sound.
-Contactors can be used for example, to start motors or a
number of motors that require a higher voltage in order for
the motor or motors start working. In the example that I
just gave, contactors work as starters.

54 Comments Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 38 + X*(Y – Z) where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be?
