unclefester Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Specs indicate each relay is capable of handling 16 amps, I assume this is its "continuous" capacity, are the contacts capable of handling 30 or 40 amps on energising or would I need to slave another relay with a higher capacity ? Looking at energising transformers which would have a high inrush currentRegardsunclefester
unclefester Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 Have done a bit more homework & if the same relays are used that are shown DIO8RLY product image the contacts are good for 25 or 30A making current for 4 secs. I will need slave relays as my torroid transformers can draw substantially more that on energising.unclefester
