Time Delay Relay Circuit Symbol

The electronic timer relays are more versatile than the older mechanical models and less prone to failure.

Time delay relay circuit symbol. The relay are switching devices activated by signals. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by an independent low power signal. On delay contact symbol. It is the symbol for representing a relay that has a time delay function for both activation deactivation.

On delay timers can easily be identified in ladder diagrams. On delay timer coils are represented like all loads illustrated ladder diagrams except there is a label with the abbreviation of td which stands for time delay and the contacts are drawn like a single pole switch with two legs coming out of the bottom as seen in figure 1. The switch may have any number of contacts in multiple contact forms such as make contacts break contacts or combinations thereof. Newer designs of time delay relays use electronic circuits with resistor capacitor rc networks to generate a time delay then energize a normal instantaneous electromechanical relay coil with the electronic circuit s output.

A relay is an electrically operated switch it consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple control signals and a set of operating contact terminals. Most of the time a small voltage or current is used to switch other voltages or higher currents that may be electromechanical or fully electronic type. Relay symbols and electromagnets.
