Eaton Time Delay Relays
Eaton time delay relays are electronic control devices designed to manage the timing of electrical circuits by introducing a controlled delay between an input signal and an output response. Commonly referred to as Eaton timing relays, these devices are widely used to sequence operations such as motor starting and stopping, lighting control, and coordinated automation processes in industrial and commercial systems.
Available in a variety of functional types including on-delay, off-delay, repeat cycle, and interval relays. Eaton time delay relays support a broad range of timing requirements. Adjustable timing ranges extend from fractions of a second to several hours, allowing precise control for application-specific needs. Multiple input and output configurations further enhance compatibility with different control voltages and system designs.
Engineered for reliable performance in demanding environments, Eaton timing relays include features such as surge protection and noise suppression to guard against electrical disturbances. These relays are tested to withstand vibration, shock, temperature extremes, and humidity, and they meet recognized safety and performance standards including UL, CSA, and CE certifications.
FAQs
Q: What is a time delay relay?
A time delay relay is a control device that delays the activation or deactivation of its output contacts for a preset period after an input signal is applied or removed.
Q: What is an on-delay relay used for?
An on-delay relay delays contact closure after the control signal is applied. It is commonly used to sequence equipment startup and reduce inrush current by staggering load activation.
Q: What is an off-delay relay used for?
An off-delay relay delays contact opening after the control signal is removed. A typical application is allowing cooling fans to continue running after a motor is shut down.
Q: What types of timing functions are available with Eaton relays?
Eaton offers on-delay, off-delay, repeat cycle, and interval timing functions to support a wide variety of control and automation needs.
Q: Are Eaton time delay relays suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, Eaton time delay relays are designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial conditions and include protective features against vibration, electrical noise, and voltage surges.
