As the armature isallowed to return to the original position, the lower curve is area between the two curves is a measure of mechanical hysteresis,or friction, in the relay. This energy loss is a very small fraction of thespring load at all values of armature travel. The pull curves show ampere turns necessary to assure operation of.

The maximum ampere turns required are determined by thecritical load point. This occurs at inch armature travel andabout 650 grams. Under static conditions, therefore, 160 ampere turnswould be required for complete operation. Circuit uses for these relaysdo not include nonoperate, hold, or releas
