I have a question.
Basically I have been asked to install electrical heaters in a large area and the customer wants them timed and on thermostatic controls. Which is fine you can just buy the plug in's right?
Bloody hell their expensive!
I haven't played with contactors and din rail timers before and I was considering putting the entire circuit on a timer as the heaters have built in thermostats. But I noticed the DIN Rail timers all have low current ratings up to 16A. Each heater is 2 KW and so can draw around 8amps and theres four of them!
So is it possible to wire a timer to output to a contacter and would the timer be able to turn the contactor on and off? Thats the simple question really as I don't have a clue about the design and workings of contactors and timers.
Any help much appreciated
