In many cases a 30 amp relay is too small to control some hot water heaters, pumps, or other high current devices.
Soon ELK will be offering a new high current 60 amp relay contactor, double pole, double throw, in a metal enclosure that can plug into any applicance module such as X10, Insteon, UPB, Zwave, and Zigbee, or it can be hardwired to a controller. It will have high current terminals that can accept up to 8 guage wire.
The current ELK 9100 has 30 amp contacts and is available for X10 only. The new contactor in a box will open up high current control to all the powerline carrier and wireless protocols available that have an appliance module.
Availability around April. Cost of the high current contactor in a box and an applicance module will be in line with the ELK 9100 cost.
