I was dubious about using my stc-1000 with my large older freezer (5amp running rating - no max amp listed)
I posted some investigation in the Electric Brewing forum. It seems like the relays in my unit are probably rated at 15amps

But I got to looking around to see what I could do if I wanted to be sure. I found this relay:

Seems like it might do the trick. Is this how you'd wire it: STC-1000 cooling output and neutral should go into the coil. Line Power goes into the common. Outlet power comes out of the NO. NC is not used.
Thoughts? If it works, I thought it might help others who want to use a 10A controller with larger amp appliances.
