There are two types of contacts no normally open and nc normally closed.
Normally open contactor symbol.
Output coil can be auxiliary contactor or main contactor coil.
Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized.
The given symbol indicates a normally open contact.
Are electrical electronic or mechanical devices designed to interrupt or divert the flow of electric current or other signals in an electrical circuit.
Symbol of switches push buttons circuit switches.
The relay are switching devices activated by signals.
To avoid confusion it is common practice to draw one set of nc overload contacts and mark these contacts all overloads ols.
This symbol is used to indicate normally close contact.
Rarely are these familiar examples good for learning but a 3 way switch is an excellent example of using normally open and normally closed switches.
Anywhere from 1 to 3 nc overload contacts are shown between the starter and l2 in all line diagrams.
Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized.
Most of the time a small voltage or current is used to switch other voltages or higher currents that may be electromechanical or fully electronic type.
Relays and contactors have two types of contacts each suited for different applications.
Some of the most common and widely used symbols are given below 1.
The contacts open when the relay activates to break the circuit.
If the contact is normally open it would not allow any current to pass through it and hence there will be an open circuit at this contact.
Normally closed overload contacts.
Jic nfpa sample drawing.
These are contacts of relays contactors timers counter field instrument switches pressure switches limit switches etc.
These have two states on or off.
In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes.
The switches pushbuttons circuit switches.
Normally open contact iec symbols.
It is the contact of relay that is in closed position when there is no power supplied.
Relay symbols and electromagnets.

Changeover contact this is the changeover contact of a relay that is closed or connected with one terminal known as normally closed terminal when the relay is deactivated the other terminal.
