A time delay relay controls the timing of electrical circuits by delaying switching operations. Combines protection, sensors, control power, and circuit breaker in a single package Typically added to a breaker close circuit to prevent accidental reclosure after a trip. CT's transform line current down to a signal level that is. These protection devices, namely relays, can respond instantly to serious problems, or allow for short recovery time following minor, routine events. Overcurrent causes a lot of problems due to thermal heating, which damages the components quickly.
