Hello,
Im trying to implement an application that will give me
indication when specific electrical device is turn on.
that device current consumption is around 1 Amp,
and it connected to the wall plug (220VAC).
I tried to used electromechanical relay that will get swithed when
current flow through it, but it didnt work
since the coil of the relay has a relative high resistance (around 7K ohm)
and it does not enable 1 AMP currnt flow through it.
the result was that the switch was turn on but the electrical device
didnt have enough current to turn on.
Does anyone have an idea to resolve this problem?
ill be grateful to get an alternative simple ways to implement this .
thanks.
Eran.
