Abstract

This disclosure depicts a novel abort cycle timer circuit for use with an AC source of electrical power and for operating electrical controls for machinery. The circuit provides a substantially DC voltage and current, first and second relays with normally open and normally closed contacts and a timing abort circuit. Opening a first of two switches causes the second of the two relays to energize after a time delay. Opening both switches causes the second relay to deenergize after a predetermined time. The novel circuit has improved immunity to electrical and magnetic noise.
