In this video, we break down timing relays and explain how they add precise delays to industrial processes.

In this video, we take a deeper look at solid state relays and explain how they use light to isolate control signals from high voltage circuits.

In this video, we explain the most common relay contact configurations such as SPST, SPDT, and DPDT, how each one works, and when to use them in industrial automation.

In this video, we break down solid state relays and explain why they’re becoming a go-to choice in modern automation.

Learn how to read relay schematics with confidence as we break down coil and contact symbols, ANSI vs. IEC vs. NEMA diagrams, and the basics of electromechanical relays so you can choose and understand the right relay for any industrial application.

You’ll learn how voltage, polarity, and current ratings affect whether a relay will actuate, and how to quickly diagnose issues like a relay that won’t click.

You’ll learn how relays provide isolation, enable remote control, support logic functions, and keep equipment operating safely.

In Episode 7, we’re exploring the future of motor control, where contactors and starters don’t just switch power—they communicate, predict failures, and integrate with your entire plant network.

In Episode 6, we're getting hands-on with the final steps that make or break your system: proper DIN rail and enclosure mounting, How contact arcing and wear shorten lifespan, and essential testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting tips.

In Episode 5, we’re diving into the brains and brawn of motor control: control circuit design and overload protection.

In Episode 4, we’re breaking down Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and the four main starter types that keep industrial motors running smoothly: Reversing Starters, Star-Delta Starters, Soft Starters, and VFDs.

In Episode 3, we’re going beyond Direct-On-Line (DOL) starters to cover the advanced starter types every industrial electrician and engineer should know: Reversing Starters, Star-Delta Starters, and Soft Starters.
