    Cycle Short Timer
AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a timer to control a 220 Volt appliance with a 1-minute on/off resolution, as traditional mechanical timers only offer 20-minute granularity. They purchased a digital timer claiming a 1-minute minimum switching interval but found it misleading, as it only allows for specific set times rather than continuous cycling. After extensive searching, they found a suitable 120 Volt timer that allows for customizable intervals but at a high cost of $80. The user is now looking for a similar 220 Volt timer that offers the same functionality at a reasonable price. Recommendations for such timers can be found by searching for "timer digital 220v."

I would like to use a timer to turn on and off a 220 Volt appliance. With a "mechanical" plug-in timer you have 20 minute granularity. But I would like to have a 1 minute resolution.
For example - 1 minute off and 1 minute on.

I bought a cheap 10 euro digital timer. I was mislead by the package which said something like : Minimum switching interval: 1 minute.
But in fact it meant you can set the timer to turn on at 2 o'clock and 23 minutes and then turn off a minute later.

After hours of searching I found something here

It seems it's quite nice - you can actually set the device to turn on for example 1 minute and off 3 minute and so on in a loop.

But it works only with 120 V and for such a simple device costs 80 $ while the digital sophisticated one was only 10 E.

Does anyone know if such a timer (220V) exists?
Thank you.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.)
