The invention relates to the field of releases, in particular to a zero-
voltage delay release, which comprises a filter circuit, a starting power circuit, an 
electromagnet for releasing control, a switching circuit, a 
delay circuit for controlling 
delay releasing, a 
control circuit for controlling the turn-on / off of the switching circuit, and a regulated power circuit for supplying power to the switching circuit and the 
control circuit, wherein the power input end of the filter circuit is connected with a 
power grid, and the 
power output end of the filter circuit is connected with the power input end of the starting power circuit; and the 
power output end of the starting power circuit, the switching circuit and a coil of the 
electromagnet form a series loop. The zero-
voltage delay release is simple in circuit, high in starting torque, reliable in closing, low in coil heat and high in charging speed; and after 
zero voltage, the power of the coil (the retention of an armature) is maintained to be constant, and 
delay time is long.
