Kent, Jim, Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yes. I have considered a SS relay, and that's what I'm fishing on here about, which might be best...
Kent, I know Lou/wa5blq has used one in his 610, however I think he said it might have been underrated since it failed on him. Maybe a slightly bigger one would do the trick. Jim, I'll check out Mouser. Didn't even know they carried high current SS relays. Thanks, Brian On 12/1/06, Jim Wilhite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Brian have you considered using a solid state relay? Omron makes some, check the Mouser catalog. No contact arcing, and some have internal snubbers. Otherwise a contactor available from a local electrical supply house might work. Jim W5JO >I am using an old relay from a BC-610 to apply primary >voltage > (110vac) to a HV transformer in my rig.
