Got a question though, will this:
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_31&products_id=129
be able to be used as the "30A/240V DPDT or DPST relay with 120V AC coil" that kal uses in his build? Or are we looking at totally different parts?
Ok, now this is going to sound dumb, but Kal's relay has 6 "attachment points" whereas the one i linked appears to only have 4. Here is a picture to better explain what i mean:
Am I missing something? (besides brains :cross: )
If this is the case, now to figure out which is
1) Line for H1
2) Line for H2
3) Load for H1
4) Load for H2
5) Coil for H1 (may be interchangeable as per stlbeer)
6) Coil for N (may be interchangeable as per stlbeer)
stlbeer said:You are looking at the coil in this picture. The shiny orange part is the coil for pulling the relay closed. There are 2 spade terminal connections there so they can be easily daisy chained together (you probably don't need that though).
On each side, where there are multiple YELLOW spade and screw connections, these are your Line and Load. Pick one side to be Line and one side to be load. Test these with your multi-meter after you have hooked up the coil connections and are able to test the relay BEFORE hooking up other wires. The relay does not care which side is line or load.
You have a multi-meter, right?
That screw on the bottom looks like its for mounting the relay to the plate.

I am especially concerned with the second one that has 3 screws. Thanks!!
1) In the drawing, yellow is neutral. The navy blue/black is one of the hot legs.
2) Refer to this document: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/electrical-primer-brewers-145019/
You'll find that the gauge of wire needed is based on the drawing amperage. 30amp is 10AWG. Make sure your outlet is rated for that as well.
Before powering any of this up, make sure you double check all connections with a multimeter.
