I need a component that can provide a time-delay in my circuit.
I recently bought a stabiliser for my refrigerator. It has an intelligent time-delay system: if the stabiliser is switched on and off within three minutes, then a time delay of five minutes is induced, otherwise it just starts without delay.
I want a delay in the circuit regardless of the time for which the power was off. For example, a delay of 15 seconds is ideal. I want it such that when the switch is turned on, then a delay of 15 seconds will be given, and after that, the output will be sent from the component.
It should work in a range of 180V to 260V AC of frequency 50Hz. The maximum current cannot be less than 7A.
I'll fix this component before the stabiliser, that is, current will first pass through the component, then after the time delay, it will go to the stabiliser.
Which component will work here?
Please note that I haven't got a good background in electronics. If you tell me the component, and how to use it, I'll put it in the circuit appropriately.
