Hi all,
I'd like to choose the circuit that has a
timer to close the main contact. I wonder if the
detected voltage falls down even in a moment,
the contact will open in simple R circuit,
unexpectedly.
I've set a timer relay into the input of the filament
transformer in some TL-922s as follows. The
timer is set as 2 seconds in this case. It's
poor circuit, but it runs better for filaments,
I believe.
