I purchased some 36v auto relays to operate a 36v 800w motor; it seems to support it, but I'm experiencing trouble with relay activation.
I'm attempting to activate it with 5v and 12v, but none seems to work. Is 36v the amount of voltage that must travel through it *and* the activation voltage? Or am I doing something incorrectly?
Isn't it true that employing a 5 pin relay defeats its purpose if the first option is true? Isn't the whole point to manage the flow of higher-power devices with the lower-power of a control board?
Thanks in advance.
