Because the timing is set by the time constant of a resistor and a capacitor. With R in ohms and C in Farads, the time-constant is RC in seconds. If the capacitor leaks the timing will be wrong.
a specific resistor/ capacitor circuit connected to a 555 timer will create a debounce switch in synchronous format
The resistor and capacitor helps you to adjust the time period (or frequency) of the timer. (Usually astable multivibrator is used as a timer in electronic circuits) More the resistance, less is the current flowing through it. If the current flowing through is it to charge the capacitor is less, then the capacitor charges slowly. The timer changes it's state when the capacitor charges to a specific voltage ( Usually 1/3Vcc or 2/3Vcc). As it is made to charge slowly due to the high resistance, the clock frequency decreases. In the same way, to increase the frequency of the timer, the resistance value needs to be reduced.
The outlet would be the more often recommended place for it.An electrical timer can be placed anywhere within the circuit. Usually the timer would be placed at the front end of the circuit.
frequency drops
an oscillating RC circuit
It sounds to me like the exhaust timer is just a switch. The 20 amp rating that the timer is given is the maximum amount of current that it can handle and still be within its safety specifications. It will work very well on a 15 amp circuit.

Answer A timer is used to time things. For example if you think of how many truck there are rolling down our highways it would be amazing, but they are on a timer of sorts. They have to deliever on time or they get penilized for being late. Timers are used on inside and outside lights, there are tons of uses for timers.
A timer is often used in a heated rear window function to stop the circuit from over heating and blowing a fuse if forgotton about.
Do a google search for: 555 timer circuit You will find hundreds of circuits you can use.
The wattage rating of a timer is governed by the manufactures specification. As long as the light bulbs wattage rating is not higher than the timers rating, the timer will be alright to use in the circuit. The circuits load is what governs the wattage of the circuit.
The start capacitor could be bad. Is the Breaker tripped? Do you have a timer? Is it working properly?
