I have a waterwheel which generates 5kw (220v sp) connected to UK grid. I want to build a controller/diverter to use all mypower rather than overspill it into the grid. This requires a reverse power relay controlling a large lamp dimmer. (like this; **broken link removed** )
Question: how do I control the dimmer with relay output from sensor? I could replace pot with motorised pot but I think that it would not last long. Suggestions?
