ANSI/IEEE off-delay timer relay symbol

IEEE-oriented graphical reference for off-delay timer relay, with public vendor evidence and drawing-reading notes.

What it represents

The off-delay timer form identifies timing after a documented initiating condition is removed. The selected device's supply requirements and timing sequence determine whether the delay can complete during control-power interruption.

This is a convention-specific lookup based on the publisher's IEEE-labelled preview. The geometry here is independently drawn to explain the connection or operation; it is not a certified reproduction of the standard graphic.

How to read it

  • Trace trigger removal separately from auxiliary supply loss.
  • Read the selected library and the project legend together. A vendor block identifier is meaningful within its named library and is not a universal standard-symbol code.

Information to show or reference

  • Show trigger and supply
  • State off-delay interval
  • Reference supply-loss behaviour

A distinction that matters

Off-delay timing is not an automatic statement of how every contact behaves after complete loss of power.

About this graphic

This illustration was authored independently by Elora Grid to explain the concept. It is not reproduced from a customer drawing, an official standard graphic or a manufacturer CAD file. Its correspondence to an exact IEC or IEEE symbol identifier has not been certified.

SVG and DXF downloads contain this original artwork. DXF uses unscaled drawing units; a GA envelope supplies no product dimensions, clearances or fabrication information. Original artwork is available under CC BY 4.0. Third-party references retain their own terms.
