Re: Upshifting from 10 to 16 amps relay




Gareth

In commercial and industrial installations, it's normal practice to use
contactors to switch the load rather than a products on-board relays.

This is done to protect the expensive units output channels by using
them to switch a supply to a load via a cheap(ish) contactor.

Give me a call and I'll tell you where to get suitable contactors.

Cheers

Neil
