·
OSTI ID:5467690
A power-saving relay circuit is described for reducing power consumption from a power supply, comprising: a relay including a selectively energizable relay coil, movable contactors, and a plurality of fixed contacts including first and second fixed contacts associated with each of the movable contactors; each of the movable contactors being normally in electrical contact with the first fixed contact and responsive to energization of the relay coil for breaking the electrical contact with the first fixed contact and for making electrical contact with the second fixed contact; current limiting means coupled in electrical series circuit intermediate a selected one of the second fixed contacts and the relay coil; the movable contactor associated with the selected one of the second fixed contacts being capable of being coupled in circuit with the power supply for completing an electrical circuit through the current limiting means for energizing the relay coil.
