WHAT DOES TIME SWITCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

time switch

Time switch

A time switch is a timer that operates an electric switch controlled by the timing mechanism. The switch may be connected to a circuit operating from mains power, or for lower-voltage circuits, including battery-operated equipment in vehicles. It may be built into power circuits, plugged into a power point with equipment plugged into the timer instead of directly into the power point, or built into equipment as, for example, a sleep timer that turns off a television receiver after an interval. The mechanism may be mechanical, electromechanical or electronic, with semiconductor timing circuitry and switching devices and no moving parts. The timer may switch equipment on, off, or both, at a preset time or times, after a preset interval, or cyclically. A countdown time switch switches power, usually off, after a preset time. A cyclical timer switches equipment both on and off at preset times over a period, then repeats the cycle; the period is usually 24 hours or 7 days. For example, a central heating timer may supply heat for a specified period during the morning and evening every weekday, and all day on weekends.
