Hi, am workin on project wich is a revision of something i have already made.
Basicly i have a float switch connected to a relay and mains powered device, for safety with water i run the float switch connected to the coil of the relay on a 12v dc supply.
So currently I have two cables running into my project, 240v ac mains (UK!) to the contacts of the relay.
A 12v power adaptor(the sort you plug into mains power and in adapts to 12vdc) to coil side of relay.
I would like to get away from the two supplys on my latest revision. Explained..... "240vac entering my project on one cable, split, to contact side of raley and other to a transformer that will give me a nice 12v output that i can then run to the coil side of the relay and float switch.
Basicly would be nice to crack open my mains adaptor and put it's guts inside my project.
I hope I have managed to explain myself and any component sugestions from maplin, farnell rs etc would be greatly appreciated(UK!)
Thanks Kindly
Dave.
