Time Delay Relays

Time delay and timing relays are typically provided with adjustable time settings to accommodate many possible applications. On-delay relays, for example, will not allow a circuit to close until a preset time has elapsed following energization of the relay coil. Conversely, an off-delay relay keeps the circuit closed for a specified period after the power has been removed. Such basic timing functions are quite common and make up the bulk of timing relay sales.

Safety and efficiency are greatly enhanced in industrial applications by the use of timer relays. These electromechanical devices introduce a controlled delay between the moment power is applied to the relay and the moment the relay actually switches. This delay, often just a few seconds, is crucial for preventing power surges from damaging sensitive components in the systems they control and for preventing the too-sudden (and potentially harmful) alternate energization of different parts of the system. Relays are an essential part of the control circuitry in many industrial applications, including conveyor belts, HVAC systems, and lighting control.

FAQs

What is the typical input and output voltage of time delay relays used to control power to electrical circuits?

The typical input voltage of time delay relays ranges from 12V to 240V AC or DC, while the output voltage is designed to match the controlled electrical circuit, often within the same voltage range.

What is a timer relay delay used for?

A timer relay delay is used in industrial automation to control the timing of electrical circuits, ensuring that devices activate or deactivate after a preset time interval.

Time Delay Relay Basics

ON Delay Relays 

When the coil in a normal relay is energized, the contacts are instantly closed, allowing the current to pass through. When the coil in an ON delay relay is energized, the contacts are delayed for a given period of time, before they close. A common use for an ON delay relay is to reduce the inrush current when powering on several devices at once. The ON delay relay can power on one device slightly later than another device. This can prevent too much inrush current that might blow a fuse or trip a breaker in an electrical circuit. 

OFF Delay Relays

OFF delay relays are similar to ON delay relays, however, the delay occurs when the coil is de-energized. When the coil is energized, the contacts instantly close. When the coil is de-energized, there is a delay before the contacts open. A common use for OFF delay relays is when using motors with fans. When the motor is turned off, an OFF delay relay allows the fan to continue cooling the motor for a given period of time before turning off.
