8 Pin Relay Explained

[@arthurcook2492]

I am 39 year old welder/fabricator, have welded for 17 years now and I fabricate mostly big fish stories due to the fact that I am now trying the peaceful Art of fly fishing and have never cursed so much in my life heh hehe. I just wANTED to get on here and tell you that I am in fact making my own welder and had to bump it to 250 vac to get the draw I need to weld at a safe level, but I am 100percent self taught because of informative videos like the ones I have watched of yours. You are very passionate and dedicated to your craft sir, you can hear it in your teachings because they are the only ones worth watching because you know every smart and safest route will be taken and I want to be where you are teaching welding class because I feel that passionate about my trade and for that I thank you sir. There is so much to learn about electricity but what you get a group and classification system and laws. If I am awake I am learning something I didn't know or didn't quite catch the previous but 4 and keep up the good work brother

[@DG-or4zg]

Very informative, I am a fairly intellectual person, and I found your teaching style to be just right. I could use a little more in depth explanations, but I got what I was looking for. subscribed.

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

Everyone thinks they are an intellect.

[@DG-or4zg]

Not everyone...

[@Maxxamum]

I'm a homeowner trying to wire my well and surface pumps instead of using an extension cord. Two of my pumps are on float switches but I want to force an on or off state regardless of the float status so I can backwash my filter tanks or test a pump after servicing it or pressurize and test a newly glued water pipe. This was really helpful and your instructions were so clear the even I understood them. Great job.

[@LyssieLyss]

This video is awesome. Explained very well, short and concise. Was able to properly troubleshoot a monster of a panel after watching this. Thank you!

[@mangoginger8924]

Excellent Explanation. Takes away the confusion from the paper instructions that comes with the relay

[@broderickcamel1701]

Thanks! Illuminating stuff good Sir!

[@rodrigocayetano7674]

Dude you just explained what I was looking for excellent . Hybrid class teacher left us to figure it out on our own !!!

[@papiedennis9796]

Thank you so much for what you are teaching me today I am very loved to learn more because I wish of building a panel in my life

[@50PieceMatt]

Thanks for the video man, I’m working on this in my apprenticeship and I understand it better now

[@asoteico9528]

Thanks!!! Studying MC and didn’t know about the pin layout

[@brandonburnett1941]

Amazing video! I am going to school, and your explanation perfect. Thanks!

[@raegongodchild7767]

Thank you so much sir! You cleared this up for me significantly!

[@andreeakey2343]

Thanks that helped me a lot!! I’m in my third year of school..motor controls this year and I’m really struggling with it..I’m going to watch the rest of them too!!😁😁😁

Thanks I’m a student you explained so much easier

[@louiepadillo7043]

Very informative & well explained. Thanks for the information sir

[@scottkrieman8108]

You put a lot of work in your camera positions nice video I give you a thumbs up and another subscribed

[@felced]

Great explanation man!, thanks a lot from Trinidad.

[@paulmanhart4481]

If 1 and 8 are power in (hot and neutral), then how can 2 and 7 also be hot and neutral? It would be good to show an example. Something like having a light come on when you push the on button and off when you push the off button. I am sending 120 vac to a control box. I want an on and off button and a light that comes on when I turn it on. Then the power goes to a cable and into another box. Do I need a relay for this? Paul

[@marcelinoarreaga6458]

The best explanation ever

[@nathimngadi764]

From South Africa great video 💙💜💚❤️🧡🇿🇦

Great video simple and to the point. thanks

[@rudekid82]

Great video thanks for clearing it up

[@dmdm9198]

Did you ever do other videos on this such as connecting to nc or no or from one of these going to a contact bridge that set for no or nc?

[@johnsoto9996]

You're awesome!!!! Keep educating the masses!!!

[@anthonyoutsey8963]

thank for the class, you made it very easy to follow. thanks

[@JerreHui]

That was extremely helpful, I am very appreciate your video! Thanks, so much Craig!

[@sondabrown7373]

I love your videos!!! Thank you, Craig! :)

[@barnhartequipmentbrentbarn5662]

Craig 1 comment I don't get.... (I understand relays) but I came here to here your explanation, but to maybe make the numbers "make sense." Almost ALL of my relays say (34-32-24-22-12) AND 31-21-11 On rare occasion or in small print, I "might" see the 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc etc but not prevalent or often. Obviously 31 switches between 32 and 34 ~ and 21 switches between 11 between 12 and 14 ~ 21 between 22 and 24 WHERE do they come up with those numbers? Any reason to them?

[@davidstraight405]

Great video. Is there a relay that I could install to share a pump with two controllers? I need two NO outputs.

[@craigmichaud-electricalins4602]

You could also use and 11 pin relay that will give you two more outputs. CM

[@davidstraight405]

Craig Michaud- Electrical Instructor, I have acquired the 11 pin relay with a Dayton 24VAC coil. How will the two sprinkler controllers connect to the 11 pin relay base to command the pump? Which terminals will the controllers P and Com connections from each controller terminate? Which terminals will the PSR terminate to? The 24VAC will come from each connected controller, how will they engage the relay to then start the pump?

[@davidstraight405]

Craig Michaud- Electrical Instructor, If you don’t mind you can email me directly at [e-mail]. That way I can share pictures if needed and vice versa.

[@jlspunn]

Craig Michaud- Electrical Instructor Hi, I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this but in hopes you do i have a question. I have a unit that controls fans when the sensor reaches a certain temperature. It’s a smd-tm1. I’ve been trying to wire it to a relay along with 2 fans. The unit has a red, black , and yellow for power. Yellow is trigger. Along with them 3 for power it has a white and black for the fans. I’m trying to wire it so when unit kicks the fans on the fans come on and when the unit kicks the fans off they go off. I’m only guessing this is done by the coil. It’s been a real struggle, if you happen to see this and could offer any assistance I’d be grateful. I’m using this I’m my stereo build in my car. 12v system . I have a 12v 30 Amp SPDT relay 30, 85, 85, 87, 87a I have only been successful in wiring that the relay does power the fans, but they stay on even when unit should have kicked them off.

[@danielt0901]

Great explanation but one question do i have to use 1 or 8 with power …. Can i use it as a dry contact?

[@earthenergyhex]

have you ever connected a conext AGS to a generator?

[@richardwax8796]

Sorry little confused you said 8 and one are power but then said 2 and 7 are natural and power. So what power goes in 8 and 1?

[@leletipiham8156]

Thanks for explanation. Where this component is used

[@Ansi-Ashan]

Thank you for another great video Sr.

[@craigmichaud-electricalins4602]

[@stephendavis891]

Yesssss just what I was looking for 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@deathrawphantasma]

Very good explanation. I like 8pin relays there fun to wire up.

[@DavidGonzalez-ii4zz]

Hey Craig I've been struggling with my motor control project because we are using 8 pin relays and we are trying to do the 3 start 3 stop push button station interlock and the relays just act crazy

[@Honeybatger]

So 8 and I also act as commons to 3,4,5,6 ? Because I watched your 11 pins relay and it has common . Thanks very much

[@fayiznalu8411]

Good video!! Thanks 👍

[@akoldbird]

Thank you Sir! Great video

[@raboniekova7056]

Can you make a vedio on how to wire an automatic transfer switch for a Genset,by using relay,timer relay and contactor etc..

awesome video sir..im planning to diy a roll ice cream machine from scraps since i cant afford a brand new unit.. being a broke family guy, im planning to have this small business..badly needed during this pandemic. do you sir by any means have ideas how to wire this up? i mean the compressors,condenser fan and three solenoid valves for the defrost option..since theres no cheap circuit boards online..im planning to do it with simple wiring method..could you help me out with this? i really appreciate your help sir..

[@ryanasturias5465]

salute sir,,, simple and understandable,,,

[@rickadames5725]

thanks again on explaining

[@OmegaF77]

I have a 5v DC relay with 2 pins for the coil and 6 mysterious pins that I have no idea of working.

[@ratedmark4704]

Check for continuity with your VOM meter.

[@yikealoandebrhan5370]

Thank you very much. But I need more details about it.

[@colep001]

Where do i connect the neutral conductor

Can u do a 11 pin relay

[@craigmichaud-electricalins4602]

I absolutely can do a video on an 11 pin relay. I am shooting video's according to my class schedule but I can definitely add one in to the loop. Give me a week or two to get it filmed and up and running. Thank you for your suggestion and watching my video's. Hope you have subscribed to my channel so you can see it as soon as it is out. CM

[@testingdevices2323]

@@craigmichaud-electricalins4602 thank you sir I subscribed and looking forward on your video

[@testingdevices2323]

Hey I understand the operation of the 11 pin relay its basically the same as the 8 pin can u do an alternating relay

Nice Video my teacher 8 pin and 11 pin

[@b.v.mmedia8894]

Any joy on my question?

[@craigmichaud-electricalins4602]

I have been working on trying to find you an answer. As I am working on this I can only think that this has to do something with a polarity issue. It is appearing to me you may need another relay. Again I am going on the info I am given. If I was to be able to put a meter on it then I would be able to give you a more accurate answer. I will have my email up soon maybe you can send a video and then maybe I can help you figure this issue out better. CM

[@b.v.mmedia8894]

Hello Craig. I don’t think I got you reply to my question. Any chance you can do part 2 to this video. As I said b4 can not get the motor to go back and forth. It only goes one way until I reverse the cables. Can you help ?

[@craigmichaud-electricalins4602]

B.V.M MEDIA I am working on video's every week. I will be doing a video that I think will help but I am trying to get parts in order to make a video for you. Please bare with me as I am working hard to build my channel with more content. I will do my best to get this to you as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience!!! CM
