The rocker switches I got all say 20A, so will this fry them if I try to connect them?

The relays can take "up to" 30/40 AMPs, so as long as your design draws less than 20 AMPs your switchs will be OK. I'm not sure how many AMPs it takes to activate the relays, but I don't think it is very much.

No, the rocker switch will be activating the relay, the relay handles all of the power. So, very little power will be actually going thru the rocker switch. This way, you can keep the large amp wire a short as possible, and not have it running thru your switch. You can use pretty much any 12v switch to activate the relay, just be careful not to overload the relay. I would suggest only pushing about 20 or 25 amps thru a 30/40 amp relay. But that's just me, I don't like pushing electronics to their limit.

only if you have huge power draw pulling power through them. The Amp rating of switches and relays etc are the max rating for the circuit. You are safe as long as what ever is actually using the power uses less than the lowest rated part of the circuit you will be just fine.

Are you connect to 20 amp breaker? Than you use 12/2. 15 amp 14/2. You need the /2 for power and the /3 for high & low ( like a 3 way switch)

Yes, it should work. Please double check the bullet connections for your switch to make sure they match.

Just replace 1. The other switch will act as disconnect, so leave it on. Works well for me.

Not for sure the amp capacity of the switch or your compressor, otherwise it will work

Not sure, never tired it. However, as it is simply a switch, so it should work. I'd confirm with the seller. Nothing seems to be simple any more.

I had many problems with this myself. I tried to figure that out however was unsuccessful. I purchased other similar switches so I do not think I received a faulty switch. I would suggest YouTube.

Ensure that the black rocker switch is on. Mine was initially in the off position.

As long as it looks the same as your old one . Blow up the picture of the switch on the Amazon web site

It could be this switch, but I would check your fuses first. Especially if they stopped working all at once.

I too am not familiar with your switch. I used both of these motors as replacements on a drill press and a band saw that had toggle switches pre-wired 120v.

It should be fine. This switch is just a passthru, no internal electronics.

Do NOT cut the KEYs Off the connectors. It causes EXTREAM danger. Get the CORRECT connecter. US Navy electrician.

You may want to check the actual draw on your circuit as the switch uses 20 amp breakers...it may work?

Yes it should work it is a relay type switch which means it will work for just about anything as long as the amps aren't to high. 26 watts no problem.

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

All I can tell you is that as soon as I filled it and turned it on the rocker switch worked immediately and so did the keep it warm switch. It sounds as though you got a defective unit.
