You're welcome, but be careful if you plan to build one. As opposed to the 50VDC, the 230AC is very dangerous and should be handled accordingly and taken seriously.

Thanks
I'm always wary of mains power. Just out.of interest what is the amp rating of the rectifier in the circuit ? The round housing limits the options a bit. There seem to be different ones listed on the net. My electronics knowledge is self learnt. Am I right in thinking that the resistor capacitor network is the timer for the circuit. The article is a bit vague in the description of the circuit. I assume the rectifier is only to supply a dc to the relay so does not need to be high amps ? If I'm thinking wrong I'm happy to be corrected!!
