Patent ID: 6853273

Claim:
A relay, comprising: a) a first circuit; b) a second circuit; c) a ground; d) an electro-magnetic actuator assembly; e) an armature assembly which is movable between first and second positions with respect to the first and second circuits, wherein: i) armature assembly movement is controlled by the electro-magnetic actuator assembly; ii) movement of the armature assembly to its first position allows current to flow through the first circuit; and iii) movement of the armature assembly to its second position couples the first circuit to the ground and allows current to flow through the second circuit; and f) at least one biased conductor, wherein the at least one biased conductor is biased not to couple the first circuit to the ground, and wherein movement of the armature assembly to its second position causes the at least one biased conductor to couple the first circuit to the ground.
