Test 4 is used for which device?

• A. Coils
• B. Switches
• C. Transformers
• D. Relays

Answer: (D)

Test 4 focuses on relays. A relay is an electromechanical device that uses a coil to pull in or release a set of contacts, letting a low-power control signal switch a higher-power circuit. The test covers the coil’s resistance to ensure it’s within tolerance, insulation between windings and other parts, and the pickup and dropout voltages so the relay activates and releases at the correct control levels. It also examines the contact side—how low the resistance is when contacts are closed, and whether there’s proper mechanical operation without excessive bounce or wear. In signaling applications, relays coordinate interlocking and signal control, so reliable behavior is crucial. Other devices have their own specific tests (for example, coils, switches, and transformers), but Test 4 is dedicated to the relay assembly as a whole.
