Firstly, A hello to everyone, I just found this place and it is really good
I am trying to wire a relay into a control circuit, as the Float switch (reed contact switch) that is controlling the pump is only rated at 1a and the pump is drawing 1.5a, I know you may not think this is a great problem (as I have been told already, by others) but I thought about putting a relay in the circuit to help bring the power down that is going to the float switch (reed contact switch).
I cant get my head around this, I think it I wire it up like the attached file, but would that bring the Amperage down that is getting pulled through the Float switch or do I need a completely different power source IE a power source to operate the contacts and a power source to operate the pump.
I have just looped A1 & A2 (relay power) into 21 & 11 (fixed end of contacts)
I hope I have explained this right and please excuse my rather rubbish drawing I used Paint, I did not know about the PDF converter till after the drawing had been done.
:thanks:
