What is the typical time delay for an oil safety switch?

The typical time delay for an oil safety switch is generally accepted to be in the range of 90 to 120 seconds. This is designed to provide a safeguard against short-lived interruptions in oil flow or power, allowing transient issues to resolve themselves without triggering a fault response. During this delay, the system can monitor the conditions and determine if the interruption is a passing event or a more significant failure that requires a shut-off. The oil safety switch is an important component in preventing damage to equipment and ensuring safe operation by ensuring that the system does not react too quickly to temporary fluctuations. By optimizing the time delay within this range, the system can balance responsiveness with stability.
