I am curious if this is something where I can take four relays and then pug them into this box to keep them organized and protected. Thanks

This will support 4 automotive relays and help organize the wires, but for protection you need to add fuses.
1615985
Yup, that is the reason to buy this box. It takes some skill to do it right, by the final result will be very nice.

Yes. This box houses 4 regular sized relays nit the small micro relays. You do have to wire everything and crimp the terminals and slide them into the housing so you need to know your electrical and wiring. Comes with 16 push to seat terminals and will accomadate several wire sizes. There is also a clear plastic cover that you can label to mark what it goes for. Highly recommend adding a extra fuse block to go with it

Yes and it works perfectly. Take some time to think about your final wiring and you can make the install VERY clean with this product. Worth the money for sure.

It will keep it organized, but the protection is not waterproof. It's simply more of a dust cover. You'll need to make 16-20 crimps on the supplied connectors since it doesn't have flying wire leads.

Nope. That was actually in my review. I thought the price was right WITH relays but what you get is an empty holder. Not good.

Yes,it works great for items like that,, I esp. like that if I keep them plugged in I can turn each individual appliance on and off at will, while keeping something else on...But if you have something with those big transformer plug in you would need to put in the first or last plug so it doesn't block any of the others..

The unit is fairly wide and deep. There might not be enough space to acccomodate the units and all the wires for more than one unit. I have them installed in 2 gang boxes.

Don't do it!!!! It's too risky!!! Even properly grounded, and with all waterproof (not weatherproof&lt; Nat Elec Code,NEC&gt; distinction) enclosure, and UFI protected, you're asking for a lethal dose of volts times amps equals watts. We are not talking cute little electrons here!!! We're talking all that GE has got, all at once. Seriously. DO NOT ATTEMPT. It would cost too much anyway to build a waterproof enclosure big enough to include servicing area, as well as the unit and filters, bringing power to it, which depending on the length of the run will necessitate a larger diameter wire, AND a special cable designed for outdoor use. (The voltage drops over a long run of wire.)NO! NO! PLEASE DON'T DO IT.

i used it to connect an array of solar panels. don't know why you would want a relay, but you could connect a inline fuse if you wanted to.

Yes, this is compatible with a fuse box, you might consider reading this article about the installation at utterpower.com. It will give you a very good idea as to what's involved. I hope I am allowed to post the link here http://www.utterpower.com/installing-a-generator-transfer-switch-at-zachs-house-21211/

absolutely. The breakers prevent from overloading the circuit ONLY. This device protects against surges, high voltage, low voltage, open neutrals or grounds, etc. Small price to pay to save several thousands worth of electrical devices

I have used #12 with no problem could probably do number 10. none of the relays are bused together they all wire separate i have also used #18 they all seem to fit fine

In a word, yes. A simple setup with your circuit connected to the relay. Just keep in mind the maximum amps that the relay can handle for AC/ DC and your circuit must supply its own power.

Far easier to plug this in back by the spare tire.. The relays do not automatically come installed in your trucks fuse box.. thats why they send them with, but if you have them already just throw them in your glove box..

You'd need separate relays for each circuit, but should be able to have a single Z-wave module control both, if you were OK with only being able to have them go on and off at the same time. If you wanted separate control - two relays and two z-waves

YES!! As long as they are next to each other now. You can keep the 2-gang hole with the 2-gang box. Put in one of the "TIMED" switches and be sure you KNOW which black wire goes to which item. You CANNOT wire this kind of switch in a "Switch-Loop". It MUST be powered directly!!!!!David.

Yes. It's quite possible with additional circuitry such as a relay. The problem is; (1) which relay, (2) where do you get it, (3) does it have ample capacity, (4) what kind of enclosure do you put the additional circuitry in, AND (5) will it be safe regarding fire and shock when activated. The guy that said; "it would be better to buy a pre-built unit" is most correct although, I didn't see any "off the shelf" units on a Google search that meet your requirements. It has all the markings of an "electrician required" project.

Hi David, unlike your house I do have 3 pronged outlets. I know you could get the juice to flow by uasing a 2 into 3 prong converter (mostly gray in color) and are cheap to purchase....BUT I AM NOT sure about the surge protection working, I would call Belkin....

Here is a link to the DataSheet for the Relays themselves:http://www.oddwires.com/content/songlesrdrelay.pdf

Don't think so... The way it comes pre-wired is a little strange (but easily modifiable). The whole unit shares a common ground (understandable) but each switch also shares a common hot (hence the strangeness and that means only one fuse for 6 switches) then each switch has an individual hot output. Now, I modified mine so each switch would have its own (fused) hot input. Sure hope this made sense. Overall, I am really happy about the set up, appearance, and performance.
