garage heater
Hi. I have a 5000 watts 240 volts ceiling heater. I had a mechanical thermostat on the wall. Now I want to install a 24 volts transfo( or relay) to be able to control it with a 24 volts thermostat. I just want to know the wires connection between the red and black coming from the panel and the red and black of the relay ( it's a rt850t-347). Thanks for your help.

Hi, I would double check that relay, I think it is rated for 347 volts if so it won’t work with 240 volts.

You're dealing with 240v...... it doesn't make a difference.
L1 and L2 are strictly illustrating incoming line. If it was 120v it would make a difference.
Geo brings up a good point.
They offer two high voltage models..... a 240 for 208/240v and a 347 for 347v.
I don't know if the 347 will work on 240v. It won't hurt it and if you are only using a two wire stat.... it may work fine.
