I have these switches that are rated for 15 amps. The instructions say I can add a relay if I need to connect something that is over 15 amps. Could somebody help me understand what this means and link me to the relay I need for say a 30 amp load?
Thanks!
It means you need to add the relay(electrically operated sw.) between the source of electricity and the load. The original sw. then operates the relay. This is one of those things that is hard to explain in a forum when you may not be a little familiar with the workings electricity. If it me I would go to the nearest electrical wholesaler,not big box store, and talk to them. They can help you as well as a contractor. Hope this helps a little.
