Does a 120 V STC-1000 temp controller need an external relay for cooling? Heating with a light bulb so no problem there.
Operating instructions give specs for relay contact capacity of 10A/250VAC so that must mean relays are built it. Think contact capacity would be 20A/125VAC, correct?
Small 4.3 CF Sanyo fridge lists a current draw of .9 A which seems really low for a compressor. Guess compressor should draw at least 20 A so external 30 amp relay may be needed.
What has been your experience with this controller and current draw for small compressors?
