An egg timer can be used while baking in a kitchen. Egg timers are also used for paint drying times and anything else that may need to be timed. Egg timers have a usual base of top out at an hour and then it would have to be reset to time any longer.

Timers are useful for more than just keeping track of that pie baking in the over. Feeling overwhelmed by a big task? Promise to give it attention for just 10 to 15 minutes at a time, set the timer and give it a go. Knowing it's just for a little while and not the entire task takes some of the pressure off. Want to meditate, but not get lost in it for half the day? Set the timer for 20 or 30 minutes. Have trouble getting the kids to go to bed? Set the timer one hour before bedtime, and when they hear it go off, they know it's time.

Why is a timer is used in an electrical circuit?

Timer relays are used in control circuitry. There are two main types, an (off delay) and an (on delay). If you want one device to turn off before the timer controlled device then you would use an off delay timer. If you want one device to turn on before the timer controlled device then you would use an on delay timer. When the timer is energized this starts the timer circuit in the relay to time out.

What would happened if you wired a 240v ballast and a 120 v ballast into a heavy duty timer?

The timer has to be multi-pole. The ballast must be connected to the load contacts of the timer. If the timer is a 120 Volt timer, the timer has to run on a 120V. circuit. Loads are loads, and as long as you have a multi-load timer you can hook up whatever you want. If the timer only works on a shared power source (load shares the timer supply) you will need to use a contactor on the load side or the timer.

With a seven minuet and a four minuet egg timer How do you boil an egg for nine minuets?

Use the fact that 4 and 7 have no common prime factors. If you run both timers at the same time, restarting each one whenever it rings, then sooner or later the seven-minute timer will go off two minutes after the four-minute timer did - and then you're in business. In detail: m0: start both timers m4: timer 4 rings, restart it m7: timer 7 rings, restart it m8: timer 4 rings, restart it m12: timer 4 rings, start cooking the egg m14: timer 7 rings, restart it m21: timer 7 rings, take out the egg. The egg went in at minute 12 and came out at minute 21 - nine minutes of cooking. This works because the 7-minute timer rang two minutes after the 4-minute timer did; the seven-minute timer times the last stretch. You can also make the 4-minute timer time the last stretch, and this is actually quicker (I just realized): m0: start both timers m4: timer 4 rings, restart it m7: timer 7 rings, put in the egg m8: timer 4 rings, restart it m12: timer 4 rings, restart it m16: timer 4 rings, take out the egg The egg went in at minute 7 and came out at minute 16, which means it cooked for nine minutes.
