Subj:[SBE] Phasor current draw
I am trying to create a DA/NDA remote control for a 3-tower phasor system. The system has remote for choosing transmitters and Day or Nite. It does not have remote for choosing DA/NDA.
Currently, someone has brought out the Tx and D/N to 240VAC relays with 30A contacts. Is this really necessary?
The mode change itself appears to throw maybe 5 contactors including the towers. I realize that in the DA mode it has to support the current involved with switching of Day and Night.
I want to do my additional control with a 24VDC coil and contacts rated at 15A/250VAC.
Am I missing something here. Do I really need those big power relays or will something smaller suffice. I do not know what the current draw is,,and it would be difficult to amp clamp.
Anybody have any ideas what a 30-40 year old three tower, 3 modes Phasor array might draw in Amps at 250VAC during switching?
Thanks
