In my mom’s office I noticed a component was installed to the ceiling, and I just realized that its tiny LEDs would turn on for a sec and as I counted it had a time delay of 12 seconds ( probably)
writing this comment while the add is still running, i like your choice of fields you cover! one by one you explain all the stuff in detail and every question i still have left gets awnsered!! you rock man!!
Would love to see communications as a future topic...telephone, cable, ethernet, fiber optic, radio, cell phones, wifi, electromagnetic spectrum etc. I feel I know a ton about more traditional circuits but when it comes to signals and transmitting information it all seems so mysterious to me...
For my final exam in my journeyman Final exam after six years of studying to get my electrical license! I built a time delay project from start to finish with all the bells and whistles! It worked thank goodness!
Excellent presentation and gradual increase in knowledge how every component interact with each other. This kind of knowledge used to be taught in middle school electronica class. Nowadays a student has to elect to take a electronics class in college by choice to get this knowledge.
I have a neat device that prevents overloads when using a mitre saw and dust collector (shop vac) at the same time. Since they both have high startup loads, it delays startup of the vac by a second or so which allows the saw current to stabilize before adding another load. Although that's just a feature of the device, the primary purpose being to automatically turn on and off dust collection with the usage of a saw, I think it's a pretty neat use of a time delay relay.
I used a time delay relay in my pickup so the auxiliary power stays on for 2 minutes after turning the key off like newer vehicles. I also made it turn the overhead lights and outside lights on when the key is turned off. Works great
Useful video, I’m an engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry and I have seen many of these but I’ve never known How these worked si far. Thanks
I've seen these used in control panels for hospitals for preventing short-cycling of equipment as minimum run timers, stagger the starting of equipment to prevent excessive current draw, allow equipment to switch to auxiliary power after the generator gets up to operating speed and to keep sensitive equipment from tripping alarms.
Time delays are used in modern US locomotives to control the ditch light flasher when the horn button is pressed, these are usually integrated into the whole light system though, however older locomotives owned by shortline railroads retrofitted to FRA guidelines use separate control devices for flashing and delays rather than a whole new system. Another place where time delays and relays (namely solid state relays) are used is in communications tower beacon flasher circuits.
I love this channel, I love engineering. Once I get an engineering job, I'll buy Paul coffees for helping me get through school with such great animations.
Thanks for the expanation! Im going to delay the power cut to my car radio after the ignition power is cut. Music can keep playing for 10-15 seconds after shutoff so I can walk away in style.
Older FAUs use a 24volt time delay relay powered by a small heat motor that produces heat and warms up a bi-metal which warps and closes the switch for the 120volt blower fan. Very cool and intricate stuff
I was a machine setter and our rotary transfer machines had loads of relays. Wurth & Gruffat machines. I was a trainee at the time and didn't know much about them as the only one ever changed was the cycle time relay.
I find these videos SO useful! I work with these kinds of components all the time. Do you think you could explain the theory of operation of saturable reactors? I work with them, and so far every explanation on RUclips or Google has left me just as confused. Thanks! And keep up the good work!
I've had to set up time delays for security access so the building is open during a certain time frame for the employees to all get in and then the card access kicks in after a designated time.
A company where I worked built a training simulator for a ship console. This required several industrial computers to control the console, the switching power supplies of the computers act as a direct short, momentarily, so a number of delay relays were utilized to sequence the computers startup.
I have seen these in an operational and maintenance capacity at Water/Sewerage Pumping Stations within their Cupboards/Closets and at Power Distribution Rooms for WTPs and WWTPs for various MOs.
My parents have a beach house they rent out. They installed delays on the bathroom exhaust fans to turn them off after a few minutes. That way they aren't constantly running and pumping the conditioned air out of the house.
Hey Paul, love the animations in your videos and how they help get the information across. Have you ever thought about doing a video on Solar Panels for the home? I know you have some of these as separate videos, but this may include wiring solar panels and batteries in parallel/series, charge controllers, inverters and grid tie inverters etc 🤔
It is used in vehicles as well, for, heater plugs on diesel, Ign-off on vehicle after set time goes to "sleep", dash board or acc lighting switches off after set time, & so on
I've seen these timing relays in school bathrooms. A PIR sensor actuates the relay and it remains on for a while. Eventually it turns the light off. The lights didn't have repeat actuation (meaning the timer will reset every time the PIR senses motion). Instead the timer has to run out before the PIR can detect motion again. I'm pretty sure the relay is built into the PIR sensor module, but it has a loud, distinct click.
one place I ran across an RC timer delay circuit was on an old haunted Otis lift located at an UK motorway service station (the one with the abandoned restaurant on top that looks like two small out-of-proportion towers after the government imposed height restrictions), the circuit was supposed to time how long it keeps the door open but the capacitor was probably leaking which prematurely caused activation of the Door Close circuit, thus when someone presses the hall call button, the lift doors open half way then immediately slams shut, it was an extremely creepy lift!! used to give me nightmares of ghosts and demons luring me into that lift then being pinned and injured badly by the force of the slamming doors and then crushed and sliced in half when the lift starts to move, that's when I wake up sweating and heart racing, and yes that lift was all controlled by relay logic you can even hear all the relays clicking, keep pushing any buttons over and over and you will hear the relays click away if you are close enough to the top floor where the machine room is
I use time delay relays in multiple 12V DC application to prevent voltage spike from damage the sensitive controllers. To do this I've added one to the start of the unit to give it a 10 - 20ms delay before powering the system, that way it give me enough time to make a proper contact before the in rush current comes, other if it's instant the in rush current will cause an ark, which will damage the sensitive unit. The time delay relay has save me multiple units and is adjustable, that way I'd know for sure my circuit will be safe from a in rush spike.
Awesome video sir... Can you please make video on harmonics in electrical system and how filters clears harmonics from our load... Please please please please please please please please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@EngineeringMindset Thanks for your reply sir... As in data center we are always with the terms harmonics... Would really appreciate your video... Please make asap... Please sir..🙏
We use these for controlling star/delta starters as well as controlling condensation dumps on compressor intercoolers for how often they open and for how long.
Paul Please ! What are Pull Up / Pull Down Resistors how do they work ? What's the flow of electricity through them ? Thanks! If you do a vid on it. GOD BLESS YA! gawd I wish we had this 20 yrs ago! I'll thank ya when I'm back to work.
Since you did a few automotive videos recently-- are time delay relays used in cars to control interior lighting? (ie. lights turn on when doors are opened, but turn off after a period of time)
I have a compressor that I’d like to run for a brief period of time, but I don’t want to have it powered constantly- I think these would be great for my needs.
Hi James, check this out: www.tele-online.com/en/produkt/e3zi20-12-240vac-dc/ This item makes sure that your compressor is running for e.g. 5hrs and then pauses for one. Commonly used to cyclically get rid of vaporized water in the compressor system
I'd like a relay for a security system triggered by an electronic eye. Perhaps a 5 second on delay and then reset after sounding an alarm for 3 minutes or so. I haven't found anything to give me the adjustability desired yet. Thanks for your informative videos!!
Wow, what an excellent video and thanks so much for taking the time to make this! The animation really helps in understanding the current flow. Because of this video, I am now a subscriber and will check out some of your other videos. Cup of coffee on its way!
Spending 3+ hrs troubleshooting a pedestrian gate entry into a residential area just to find the digital time relay reset to 0 and nothing was actually shorting or broken
Does the DW01 on a TP4056 module count? If so that's definitely my favorite; cutting power above 4.2 volts or below 2.8 automatically is just stupid crazy useful.
I have a time delay relay on my air conditioner blower motor where most people have a board with a relay. I need to find a replacement for it, but it's really old.
Timing relays are often used in HVAC. Here where I work, I often see them being used for operations like bypassing a freezestat for a short amount of time, the time a unit typically takes to warm up. I also often see them in wired logic for resetting things like freezestats and pressure switches from a command via an operator station.
Yes, this principal circuits works for many years. But, calendars show 2022. For digital age, this topic can be achieved simple microcontrollers, such as pic10f200.

Hello. Please how do we design complex relay delay circuits that: • Instantly switches OFF a relay immediately the relay coil is energized, waits for a few seconds (while the relay coil is still energized), then switches the relay ON again, and remains ON till the relay coil is disenergized (by maybe annual switch)? AND • Instantly switches ON a relay immediately the relay coil is energized, waits for a few seconds (while the relay coil is still energized), then switches the relay OFF again, and remains OFF till the relay coil is disenergized (by maybe annual switch)? Please, it would be really helpful if you could make a video on youtube on how to build a circuit like this. Thanks

I have been using time delays in controll panels to adjust the switch of timing when energized by a limit switch we use select timers heavy duty
I must say your videos are amazing, and easy to understand. I wish I had this when I was in college.

I m ATS installer and I use 2 sec veriable timer for natural gas power generators that push solinoid gas volve before self start.
That's a brilliant application, hope they are #TELE timers :D

Nice use of relay
That's a very common application, well done!!
I must give you 5 stars sir, is amazing, easy, understandable.
For hvacr you can put a time delay for the fans so the coil will have time to reach a certain temp before turning on the fan
Or to just reduce the peak startup current by starting the compressor first, then the fan.
Thanks for the video. This was very useful for me.
Glad it was helpful!

can you make your own units with the 555 timer and other complementary components?
Yes, take a look at the data sheet for the 555. Pretty simple to hook up.
I have a time delay relay on my air conditioner blower motor where most people have a board with a relay. I need to find a replacement for it, but it's really old.
You asked for an example? Star Delta motor starter motor starter comes to mind.
Capacitor based relay in the shower, the fan stops after a while after the lights are turned off.
