Observations and Assumptions-
Relay Control via Transistor:
- Usually, the relay's low voltage side (control side) is connected to the transistor collector (C) and base (B) is fed with a control signal to switch the relay.
- We need to ensure that the relay coil is properly connected.
-
Missing Base Resistor for Transistor:
- Typically, an NPN transistor such as Q1 requires a base resistor to limit the base current. This resistor is missing from the schematic.
-
Common Electrical Path:
- It appears the relay's negative side is connected directly to ground (GND), but it’s unclear from the provided documentation.
Possible Corrections-
Correct Relay Connections:
- Make sure that the relay coil is connected to the 12V power supply and the transistor's collector is connected to the other side of the coil.
- The relay's high voltage side should be managed separately.
-
Add Base Resistor to the Transistor:
- Select a suitable resistor value (let's assume 1kΩ for now).
- Connect R1:1 to V1:ANODE.
- Connect R1:2 to Q1:B.
-
