🔍 Key Concepts

• Normally open (NO) vs normally closed (NC) contacts in ladder diagrams • Difference between on-delay and off-delay (timed open) relay contacts • How small arrows or timing marks on contact symbols indicate which state is delayed (the opening or the closing)

💭 Think About

• First, which symbols clearly show a normally open contact before any timing is considered? Eliminate any that show a normally closed symbol. • Among the remaining NO symbols, look for the one where the opening action (contact going open after power is removed) is the delayed function, not the closing. • Ask yourself: for a timed open contact, when the coil is de‑energized, does the contact open immediately or after a delay, and how is that behavior shown graphically near the moving blade or arrows?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which bottom-row symbols (H, I, J, K) are NO vs NC based on the basic contact drawing before the timing marks are added. • Check which symbol’s timing arrow/indicator points in the direction of the opening motion of the contact (off‑delay / timed open), rather than the closing motion (on‑delay / timed close). • Confirm that the chosen symbol matches: contact is open at rest, closes without delay when coil is energized, and opens only after a set time when coil is de‑energized.
