Title: Relay for winch wiring
Post by: paulmmc on June 14, 2010, 08:42:26

I am going to wire up my new winch on the weekend but i want to wire a relay into the wiring so that power to it can be switched off from inside the cab. I have seen 100A relays around with 180A max surge with 6mm terminals to connect to, would these do the job?
Are there any problems with using this set up over a kill switch type?

Thanks

I used an Albright contactor.

Agreed, that is a very heavy duty relay really.  Trty to avois switching it off or on under load though and it will last forever.
