Hello,
I would like to run my electric fan through the FI relay on the relay board, but I am concerned with how many amps I can run through the JP1 terminal block the relay board itself. My fan draws 8 amps and I generally do a good deal of idling with the fan on. I know I could have the circuit run a separate relay, but that seems silly.
What can I realistically run through the relay board?
(I have searched and not found what I was looking for).
Thanks ~ JEB

Re: Quick question about amps through the relay board
The traces on that one aren't set up to handle more than a couple amps - I'd use a second relay.
