At 120V AC, this relay will make 30 amps and break 3 amps.
But the next row down in the datasheet says that for an AC-15 inductive load it has a 3 A N.O. contact.
Can anybody explain what appears to me as a contradiction?
The reason I am asking is that I would like to use this relay to drive a 100-D180 contactor with 120V AC conventional coil. The 100-D180 datasheet says it has a pick-up of 650 VA (310 Watts) and hold-in of 50 VA (10 Watts). This back-calculates to 5.5 amps make and 0.4 amps break. Obviously, this is much less than 30 amps but more than 3 amps...
