A relay driving circuit for a latch-in type magnetic relay having an excitation coil to selectively provide a set current to the coil for making the relay into a set position and a reset current of opposite polarity to the coil for making the relay into a reset position. A capacitor is provided between input terminals of the circuit in series with the coil to be responsible for discharging the reset current. A set switch is connected in circuit in series with the series combination of the coil and the capacitor, while a reset switch is connected across the series combination. An input voltage level detector is provided to make the set switch conductive in response to the input voltage being detected to exceed a trigger level, thereby applying the input voltage to the excitation coil and the capacitor to provide the set current. Upon the input voltage decreasing below the trigger level, the detector makes the reset switch conductive to allow the capacitor to discharge the current in the opposite direction through the excitation coil as the reset current. The circuit is characterized to include a disable switch which, in response to that the capacitor is charged up to a level sufficient to flow the reset current, makes the set switch non-conductive to thereby prevent the voltage developed across the capacitor from reversely applying to the input voltage level detector. Accordingly, the detector can correctly responds only to the input voltage and not to the voltage of the capacitor so that it can make the reset switch conductive immediately upon the input voltage being decreased below the trigger level without making the set switch conductive in response to the accumulated voltage of the capacitor.
