Design Goal:
Remove power from 4 washing machines and 4 dryers using relays and a digital logic timer.
(9 Hour cycle of no-power from 22:00 to 07:00 the next day)
Design Problem:
What relays can I use that can be actuated by logic voltages?
Should I use 2 relays, a logic relay that actuates a power relay?
What relay can I use that can handle continuous amp draw of 8 machines and 8 start up amp draws?
Theory:
Digital Logic timer to send a shut down sequence to each of the 4 relays (2 plugs x 4 receptacles)
Relays (SPST-NC latching) or (SPST-NO)
Also, a feasibility study of anyone who has either done this before or done something similar or has any insight to anything I should be aware of.
Thanks
