I bought this 120 volt, 4 amp solid state relay direct from Opto22 for $13.00. Can't beat that!
http://www.opto22.com/site/pr_details.aspx?item=MP120D4&qs=100610121053,,,4,8&; I then wired it into an old power strip according to Charlie's diagram. It seems to work perfectly with the PowerSwitchII plugin and my transporter. Can anyone with any real electronics knowledge answer a couple of questions? 1). I'm connecting 2 ATI AT1502 power amps (each 2 x 150W) through this circuit. Am I being foolhardy trying to power these amps through a 4 amp SSR? 2). According to the Opto22 documentation, their SSRs always leak some current when off. If I'm primarily doing this to save electricity when the Transporter is off, what's my wastage here, as compared to, say, an X10 appliance module switching scheme? +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: switch.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3945| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41180 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
