The relay illustrated in the figure operates based on non-inductive analog circuit theory. Its working principle involves a 220V power supply connected to a load (RL), resistors (R1, R3, R6), diodes (D1 to D8), and a zener diode (ZD1). Transistors Q3 and Q4 alternate to provide positive and negative half-cycle offsets. The circuit also powers optocouplers (Q1) through R3 and diodes D5 to D8. When the TTL circuit outputs a high-level signal, the optocouplers activate during the positive half-cycle, causing a voltage drop across R5 and triggering the conduction of the SCR, which powers the load RL. This relay function prevents reverse induced voltage, thereby minimizing the risk of damage from high back pressure. Capacitor C1 and resistor R6 serve as pulse-absorbing components, while R3 limits current to avoid issues with inductive loads. The optocouplers receive power from the SCR anode rather than directly from the mains to prevent phase shift problems.

The circuit operates on a 220V AC power supply, which is connected to an inductive load (RL) and various components that help manage the switching and protection of the system. The resistors R1 and R3 are used to limit the current and provide necessary biasing for the transistors Q3 and Q4, which are configured to alternate their conduction states. This alternation creates positive and negative half-cycle offsets, crucial for the operation of the subsequent components.

Diodes D1 to D4 function as rectifiers, converting the AC input into a usable form for the relay operation. The zener diode ZD1 is included to clamp the voltage and protect the circuit from overvoltage conditions. The optocouplers, represented by Q1, are essential for isolating the control signal from the high-voltage side of the circuit. They enable safe interfacing between the low-voltage TTL logic and the high-voltage components without risking damage.

When the TTL circuit outputs a high signal, the optocouplers conduct during the positive half-cycle, resulting in a voltage drop across resistor R5. This drop is sufficient to trigger the SCR, allowing current to flow through the load RL, thus activating it. The design ensures that there is no reverse induced voltage generated, which is a common issue in inductive loads that can lead to component failure.

Capacitor C1 and resistor R6 are crucial for absorbing voltage spikes and smoothing the current flow, further protecting the circuit from potential damage caused by inductive kickback. The limitation provided by R3 is vital to ensure that the circuit remains stable and operates within safe parameters, especially when dealing with inductive loads that can create significant phase shifts in the voltage supply.

In summary, this circuit design effectively utilizes transistors, diodes, and optocouplers to create a robust relay system that operates safely and efficiently while minimizing risks associated with inductive loads and high-voltage operations. As shown in FIG relay is non-inductive analog circuit theory. working principle: 220V power supply via a load RL, R1, D1 ~ D4, ZD1, as Q4, Q3 in turn provide positive and negat ive half cycle offset; through R3, D5 ~ D8 provides power for the optocouplers Q1 simultaneously. When the current level TTL circuit outputs a high level signal, optocouplers in the city turned positive half-cycle, thus producing a pressure drop R5 ends, triggering SCR conduction, electrical work load RL. As a function of the entire circuit relay, but will not produce the reverse induced voltage, thus avoiding the load is high back pressure breakdown the possibility of damage.
