What is the function of timer in an electric circuit?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You can set the timer so it turns on at a specific time, like just before you get home from work. The sleep function is if you want it on for awhile at night when you go to bed - you can set it for how long you want it to run.

Answer 3

This depends on the circuit. A resistor may be connected in series with a capacitor and will control the rate at which the capacitor charges or discharges (known as an RC timing circuit); at a certain voltage (0.6 Volts) this may turn on part of another circuit through a transistor.

Answer 4

A timer can be of two types. An off-delay timer is used when the circuit needs to be energized for a specific amount of time after the off-delay's timers coil becomes de-energized. An example of this is when a cutoff saw becomes de-energized but the conveyor, to move the wood along, needs to be operational until the wood clears the saw head. The other type of timer is an on-delay timer. An on-delay timer is used when you don't want all of the equipment to come an at once. After a power failure, in motor circuit starters you don't want to create a high inrush to the MCC (Motor Control Center) when all of the motors try and start at once. This high inrush could trip the MCC breaker an then none of the motors would start. Each motor module has its own on-delay timer so that the motor starts are staggered. The first motor will start, when the on-delay timer of the second motor times out, it will start, and so on until all of the motors are back on line and running again.

timer is a related for clock . it is using for power cirtes
