Simple question about pilot lights and amperage
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 2:35 pm
I am working on my wiring diagram and have a question. What is the maximum amperage you can run through a LED pilot light (e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ONE-NEW-Blue-CO ... 5d2c541758)?
Below is the basic wiring diagram for my system. I am running all 120VAC. My idea is to have 3 position switches (1 NO, 2 NC terminals) between the terminal strip and the SSR. When the switch is off, nothing happens. When in Auto mode (first NC terminal), the BCS will control it. When in On (second NC terminal), the device is turned on regardless of the BCS. I am only using the switches for the pumps and the ball valves, the solenoids will only be controlled through the BCS. I would then run a wire from the first NC terminal on the switch to the LED light and another wire from the output of the SSR also to the LED light. My thinking is whenever there is power going through the circuit, the lights turn on. The pumps are only using 1.4 amps, so not a lot, but I can't find any rating to know if they can handle the load.
Anyways, my wiring diagram so far to help make sense of the above is attached. I have more detailed drawings if they would help. Thanks in advance!
