Vic September 23, 2013 at 9:27 pmI don’t see how this would be used as a relay tester??? It just gives you 27 volts DC… for who knows what purpose :/
george September 23, 2013 at 11:36 pmDepends on the type and voltage of the relay. As said, just about 27vdc.
Biff September 24, 2013 at 12:04 pmIs there a relay that needs 27 volts, or close to it to operate? I’m guessing that’s what this is for, provide enough power to trip the relay.
Jim September 24, 2013 at 9:52 pmCould use to test 24v DC relay coils. Pretty clever portable power supply.
