DC remote???
I know nothing about electrical loads, etc. so I bring this question to
the forum. Can those christmas light remote controls be used on dust collectors? Presuming a 15A DC running on a 20A line, what are the consequesnces of using an 8A remote? Thanks as always. |

You would let the smoke out of it for sure.

Be sure to have a couple of working smoke detectors in the shop before using those wimpy remotes. Why not pick up a Shop Fox remote (price), or other remote intended for the load of a DC? Dave |

Marv, that would be the Magic Black Smoke... ;-) Another important consideration is that most of these Chinese Christmas Light Remote things use a Triac for switching the lamps. Not appropriate AT ALL for switching motor loads. They cost about $3.00 to build, and are not worth every penny... g FWIW, Greg G. |

X-10 3 prong tranceiver unit and a keychain remote will work great. I
believe the appliance module is the TM765 but not sure anymore. Alan |
