#148047 - No, voltage, not current!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy said:
Actually, it's a high current that's required for activation, followed by a much lower "holding" current (yes, that does still read power in the end!)

In datasheets on relays usually a "pull-in voltage" and a "release voltage" is specified:

So, Esko was right.
