Do you mean a 30A fuse on the switched live that tells the relay to close (turn on), or a 30A fuse in line before the relay that then goes on to power the pump once the relay is turned on?If the first scenario i'd guess it's a bit butch for such a job of just powering the coil in the relay. I'm by no mean an expert at it but i tend to use 1A fuses if the sole purpose is to activate a relay. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

 Thats how i'd do it. Thought it would be easier to crack out a paint sketch than try and explain in writing. Hope it makes sense. If you have a battery cut-off switch then use the opposite side of the battery for the battery live. I can't remember the best place to use for the switched live source, i'm sure you could use the live from the standard pump but I seem to remember that that isn't recommended on here for whatever reason. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
