The attached schematic is for a stand-by generator I have at my weekend home.
I want to add a relay in the automatic transfer switch breaker panel. The purpose of that relay is to trigger input circuits on a phone dialer to alert me when the generator has been called into service due to utility loss and again when it has gone into stand-by due to utility having been restored.
As you can see by the diagram, TR1 is energized by 23 going to ground when the control board senses utility loss.
My question: If I add a 12VDC relay with the coil powered by 15B and 23 (essentially paralleled to TR1), what are the chances that it could damage the transfer control board?
(I realize you may not be able to give me a definite answer based on the limited information provided, but what I am looking for is an opinion of the likelihood that adding a relay in this manner will or will not damage associated circuitry. I understand that any action I take based on opinions in this forum are at my own risk.)
TR1 is 12VDC and the specs say the power consumption at rated voltage is approx. 1.2W
Thank you for your time - I do appreciate it.
