Hi all,
I've decided to fit a stop solenoid on my yanmar diesel engine, that has been ordered no problem. It draws 30amps (12 volts) when activated, so I suppose I either fit a relay or buy a switch that is rated 30amps or more.
Should I buy a 40amp relay? or should I buy a 40 amp switch. Is it a good idea to overrate these items to ensure they don't burn out, ie 40amps?
Also, if I fit a relay what is the minimum amp rating for the switch?
Cheers Tony
