im trying to make an AC circuit which switches on and off intermittently after certain periods of time. basically what it needs to do is this...
1. it receives a power input of 230V AC
2. it outputs 230V AC for 120 seconds.
3. after 120 seconds the output stops for 60 seconds
4. after that 60 seconds output goes live again for 120 seconds
5. repeat
when the input goes dead the output needs to go dead. when it goes live again it needs to start the process afresh.
i know bits and pieces about DC circuits, but AC is something ive never messed with much, and i have no idea where to start looking on this one. if anyone has any suggestions then they are greatly appreciated. even better, if anyone knows of a product that already does this out of the box then it will save me the DIY effort!!!
thanks,
James
