Hello, Its been a while a since ive dealt with circuits.
I want to make a Timing Circuit to use with AC power (im in Australia, 240V, if it makes a difference) .
Here was my idea, trigger (push button) a 555 timer to close a relay for a period of time.
Would this work? as in, can a 555 hand the AC input (with the use of something to bring the input amps down)? I was thinking of having the relay switch to the off state after 1/2hour-1hour. Could the 555 handle this?
Also does anyone know of schematics available to help me so i dont have to come up with it all on my own? Like how i can attach the 555 to the relay, im looking for my old notes and circuits but i cant find them anywhere.
Please help, thank you all.
