I am trying to figure out how to use a relay in an power systems application for emergency power
down. 
 
Lets say that I have a 120V 20 A load.  I take a emergeny switch and connect it to a SPST relay so that when I hit this switch(lets say it is a normallyl open switch) it caused the load to loose power.  See if the magnetic coil is getting power and it needs it to keep the switch closed it would seem to me that you cannot use a NO emergency switch unless maybe you use a relay that is NC and then when I hit my switch it caused the loop to the magnetic coil to enegize forcing the switch open but then I have lost all DC power when was generating the DC power that most coils need in a relay.  Any input is welcomed.

I THINK I got SOME of it...
First of all,there are relays with 120v coils,
assuming you have found one,I would suggest a normally open switch,just like in the car,you wouldn't want a relay energized all the time..
another prerequisite of the relay would be,to have a contact rating above your load(or at least the constant load rating equal to,and an inrush rating at least double(depending on capacitance issues with the load,like a huge motor,whatever,they should rate the equipment on a plaque somewhere))
just put the relay's com-NC in series with the current(assuming 120v,not 220..a 220 motor would need 2 relays if it is grounded)
then put your coil in series with your normally open switch,so....
when you hit the switch,the com/NC is now com-NO..no current flows...
as the others on the forum have already made clear,your request was very cryptic..so I hope this helps..there is always a solution...
