Excellent Value 120vac DPDT 30-Amp Relay

http://www.mpja.com/05-31-16.asp?r=386312&s=2



Stock No: 32886 RL

$10.95

Availibilty: In Stock Units: 197

This is the relay I used for Quicksilver. Two relay COILS can be connected in series for 240 volt operation. EACH relay contact is rated for THIRTY AMP continuous service. One relay can be used for 30-amp shore power/generator auto transfer. Two relays can provide dedicated 30 ampere 240 volt service. One contact EACH relay for neutral. Breaker EACH relay neutral for 30-amps.

For X-tra heavy duty service I used double relays for 30 amp shore power.

Compared to most relays I have seen in modern motorhomes these guys are light-years superior in capacity and longevity. Contacts are silver-cadmium flashed, and connections are flat blade screw.

The price is one-third to one-fourth that normally found.

The fishing vessel Kelley II, uses EIGHT of these relays for high amperage 3 phase 4-wire, shore / generator power.

    Please explain what US RV uses a 120/240V 30A pedestal??? Now 50A and I'd understand??? Mexico and 120/240V 30A, OK always willing to learn. :C
  • That *is* a good price.
    Think I paid ~US$50 for mine.

    Mine has started buzzing a little recently, but that could be just how I mounted it. Need to open the case and tighten things up.
