Ceramic heater relay
I've got a 1500W ceramic heater ready to go in, at 144V with a fan blowing across it, used about 10-12 amps. Tested it without a relay, just had the HV wire connected to one side of the 144V and held the other end. When done, it arched pretty good, makign me guess a normal 12v coiled 30 amp relay might not handle it.
How is a relay rated? I have one on order (E-Bay) that is a 12V coil, 30 amp 120V main. Should be good? How about arching, or was it me sliding the wire against the battery lug?
