[TheForge] compressor setup

Mon Jan 14 17:17:00 2002

My compressor is remote to the shop, it
is nice not to hear it. I have it
switched on by a 24 volt relay. The the
120/24V transformer for the control
circuit is powered by the shop light
circuit. No light = no compressor. It
also saved on running a high voltage
switching line from the shop to the
outbuilding which has its own panel.
