Hello! I am new in using Arduino. I am having trouble solving a problem on my project. I want to test if I can control an industrial vacuum pump using an Arduino Uno board and use relay modules for the connection since the pump requires more input voltage than the Arduino. But I still am not sure if it'll work.
My project works in a way that if I press a button, the vacuum pump will suck in 5 seconds then stops. I am just not sure how to control the pump with Arduino without frying the components.
You need to share more information.
Show us a good schematic of your circuit.
Show us a good image of your ‘actual’ wiring.
Give links to components.

Hello
I think you have to design a millis()-based timer to do this job.

Oh Okay. Thank youuu. I'll be sure to add that here 
Thank you so much!
@jennicx, your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for problems with your project
