  1. The ratio of reset to pick up current for an induction cup relay is approximately _________









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The ratio of reset to pick-up is inherently high in case of induction relays as compared to attracted armature relays as their operation does not involve any change in the air gap of the magnetic circuit as it in the case of the latter. Thus this ratio lies between 15% to 100%, not exactly 100% because of friction and imperfect compensation of the control spring torque.

    Correct Option: B
