Redge Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi i would like to build a circuit to protect my fridge from running to soon after being swirched of. So there would be a 240 V AC IN (from grid) and AC OUT (to fridge) and when the AC IN is switched off, there must be no AC OUT until about 10 minutes after it was switched off, even if the AC IN is switched on immidiately after being switched off.The fridge has draws start up power of about 900watt and running at about 140watt. Could you help with this? Thank you very much Redge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 There are devices similar to what you want on the market. This one has 5 minute delay. Perhaps if you poke around on ebay or amazon you could find a 10 minute one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293677138457?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM Else if you want to roll your own we could look at how to do.

Thank you very much Redge waterproof deck Salt Lake City I am looking in the code book to find what kind of protection I need to put on it I have heard that if it is a receptacle on a dedicated branch circuit located and identified for a cord-and-plug-connected appliance it does not need to be gfci protected but i cant find it in the code book and i dont know if it has to be afci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 What code book? And why do you care? Unplug the refrigerator and plug it into one of these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293616232230?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%d%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2047675 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
