Voltage relay with adjustable break time

Adjusting the off time

— the adjustment of the disconnection time means that after detecting a fault (undervoltage/overvoltage, current overload, power exceeding), the device does not break the circuit immediately, but after a configurable delay. This adjustment cuts off short-term spikes and sags, eliminates false triggers from motor inrush currents, and stabilizes the operation of lines with a generator or unstable network. Usually, the range is from fractions of a second to tens of seconds or minutes; for electronics, minimal values are chosen, for compressors and pumps — larger ones. Compared to "instantaneous" relays, models with adjustable disconnection time offer more control and less downtime but require proper setup along with thresholds and reconnection delay. Example: a refrigerator or heat pump endures a short surge, and in case of prolonged deviation, the relay safely disconnects the load and logs the event.
