OK, the SSR is tough enough, so long as the other relays have the appropriate low voltage. Good luck.

The other relays only opperate the ssr at 12v very low current mine has been working well now since november

ESE , i'm considering wiring 3x 250W (approx 120 Vdc 8A at STC )direct into a standard 3kW 240Vac immersion on a HW tanks , via suitable Dc isolator and fuses , IT WILL NOT be in anyway connect to main ac systems
any thoughts on this ?
i presume it will just dump what it can into the immersion and water ?

It might even be cheaper this way, what with the price of cable nowadays!
My meter is on the outside of the house in a box, so would either way be feasible?

Don't think you have sent me any link (to another URL).

Hi kernel
did you not get the 3 links 2 for light switchs and one for ssr if not ill send them again and yes cable or transmitter will work but

Telephone cable is cheap or door bell wire is good enough its up 2 you what you use transmitter is neater

:eek: I think people might be alarmed by this! Could you clarify that the 3x250W is from modules which aren't part of your MSC installation?

yep soory for diverting your thread ,
I got hold of 3 damaged panels , (broken glass) I'll stick a bit of low iron glass over them as a temp. fix and was just looking for a way to put them to use .
(yes outside of the mcs / fit world)
