What is Instrumentation? Instrumentation is the art and science of measuring and control. The relevant process information [indication, trends, or status] is made available at a predetermined location in a predetermined manner. Moreover, it regulates the parameter within or at a set value. Instrumentation gives the plant operator the tools they need to run the facility safely, …
What is a Time Relay? A time relay is an automatic control electrical device that delays the closing or opening of connections using the principles of electromagnetic or mechanical action. It’s distinctive feature is the delay between the time the attracting coil receives the signal and the contact’s activity. To alter its delay time, …
