Are Relays AC or DC?

The DC coil relay has a resistance from the copper wire typically used. The current is limited by that resistance. AC coil relays have inductance as well (the DC relays have inductance as well, of course, but it does not affect the 'on' current). ... Edit: As Andy says, an AC relay will work on (greatly reduced) DC.Jun 26, 2015
