Response (electromechanics)

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

In electromechanics, the response means reaching the response current in electromechanical drives. This means that the armature lies completely against the core of the electromagnet . This then has the effect that the contacts of a relay or contactor are actuated or that a step is switched on in the case of a telecommunications selector . The response current for triggering the electromechanical system is significantly higher than the holding current, so that the current is often reduced via resistors for holding the state through the contacts of the relevant relay.
