In line relay required

[brizospark]

Good morning all.

I'm looking for a suitable solution to this problem.

I am installing a heating system in a property which is to be controlled zonally via the Honeywell evohome

Problem is that the relays for the evohome can only handle 5a maximum and one of the heaters is 1400w - almost 6a

I need to find a suitable small relay that is quiet and can handle 1400w that I can install inline - would prefer something that is not big and bulky like an industrial contactor - any ideas?

10A octal base relay should do.

A small 2 pole din rail mounted contactor would be your best bet. Pop it in a small enclosure.No bigger than an MCB.

More info needed -

Control voltage?
Switching voltage?
Some relays are rated at 10amps so you shouldn't find it too hard to source one.

Here's one at a guess - you'll need to order the base separately.

All 230v control and switching voltage

This would be my suggestion. Hager do a single width DIN mount contactor which is 25A 2-pole.
