I am flipping 1000 watters. The relay is rated for 20 amps and 277 volts. I checked the starting amps and they were around 6 the drifted back to 5. The voltage starts low and climbs to 260 then hangs there I feel I need a heavier relay to carry the voltage but since the amps are low DO I? In my wasted little brain I figure the cords to the lamps are only 18/2 thats pretty much standard from sunlight supply anyway, My question to all you wizzards out there, is 277 vac enough?
fredfarts Reviewed by fredfarts on . 2 room flipflop relay Hello all, new to this site it is full of great peeps and knowledge. I am a hardcore Do It Yourselfer. I am asking this community for some help. I am interested in building a 2 room 4 ballast 8 lamp flipflop relay system. These are super expensive from hydro shops like $400 just for the one I would like to build. I know it works with relays But they need to be strong enough to flip 1000 watt HPS systems. someone must have one and could possibly post pics then we could do a how to on building Rating: 5
