This book contains a description of electrical relays, their principles of operation, and applications for all basic types, for as widespread as knowledge of the subject is, it is still not well enough known.
The very broad scope of this book is unique, and in that sense this book represents the first illustrated encyclopedia of electrical relays.
The historical background of design included, of many different types of relays, not always known even to specialists, has been given much attention not only because it is interesting, but more important then that because of the frequent need for a display of expertise on the subject, enhancing the perception of competency of the specialist.
In describing some of the complicated types of relays (for example electronic relays) the related issues of design and principles of operation of the relay components are discussed too (in our case vacuum, gas discharge and semiconductor devices), which allows the reader to better understand the principles of operation of the described relays, without having to refer to additional information sources.
The book is written in a clear and easily understood language, without mathematical treatment, and includes numerous illustrations, making it attractive not only for specialists in relays, but also for a wide range of engineers, technicians and students interested in extending their knowledge in electric relays. Lecturers and university teachers will also find a lot of valuable material for their lectures in the book.

Work Description
Electric relays pervade the electronics that dominate our world. They exist in many forms, fulfill many roles, and each have their own behavioral nuances and peculiarities. To date, there exists no comprehensive reference surveying the broad spectrum of electric relays, save one-Electric Relays: Principles and Applications. This ambitious work is not only unique in its scope, but also in its practical approach that focuses on the operational and functional aspects rather than on theory and mathematics.
Accomplished engineer Dr. Vladimir Gurevich builds the presentation from first principles, unfolding the concepts and constructions via discussion of their historical development from the earliest ideas to modern technologies. He uses a show-not-tell approach that employs nearly 1300 illustrations and reveals valuable insight based on his extensive experience in the field. The book begins with the basic principles of relay construction and the major functional parts, such as contact and magnetic systems. Then, it devotes individual chapters to the various types of relays. The author describes the principles of function and construction for each type as well as features of several relays belonging to a type that operate on different principles.
Remarkably thorough and uniquely practical, Electric Relays: Principles and Applications serves as the perfect introduction to the plethora of electric relays and offers a quick-reference guide for the experienced engineer.
