Hi
We have recently installed a PV system that needs to be switched when a generator starts. The generator control panel has a VFC (240V/5A) we can use to signal the contactor. There is a 150m run to the PV supply I need to isolate. I was planning to use a 40A contactor to isolate, however this is where I am a bit sketchy as its a long time since I've done anything like this. I have been told I need to use a relay as the VFC is 5A max. Can someone please help and explain what I need and how to wire this. Thanks.
