You will need an interpose relay. This relay will have a 24 volt coil. The circuit power for the relay will come from a 120VAC to 24VAC volt transformer. The 24 VAC circuit will have the thermostat in series with the coil of the relay. Thermostat calls for heat, the coil energizes and the relay's contacts close. Your circulator pump is controlled by the relay. On selecting the relay make sure that the contact ratings can handle the full load amps of the circulator. A contact rating of 120 volts at 15 amps will do very nicely.

Does A Thermostat control one hot wire for a 240 Volt Fan?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.A line voltage thermostat for 240 volt control should be a two pole device. Code states that both of the "hot" wires must be broken when shutting the load off. By just shutting one leg off, the load device still has a 120 volt potential to ground through the unswitched leg. This is an unsafe condition. If any work has to be done on the load device and with the thermostat seen to be in the off position, a presumption is made that there is no voltage at the device. Best scenario turn the breaker off when working on any 240 circuits, don't depend on disconnecting devices within the circuit.


What is the difference between single pole and double pole thermostats?

Single pole thermostats have one switch that controls only one hot wire. Double pole thermostats have two switches that control two hot wires, providing a more reliable on/off control of the heating system. Double pole thermostats are often used for higher voltage systems and can completely cut off power to the appliance when turned off.


Can you plug in a 12 volt pump into 400 watt inverter?

Yes, you can plug in a 12 volt pump to a 400 watt inverter as long as the pump's power requirements do not exceed 400 watts. Make sure the inverter is designed to convert 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC to power the pump effectively.


Can you use a 240 volt pool pump on normal house power?

Most typical US residences have both 240 and 120 AC voltage. The pump would have to tie into a 240 volt breaker in your electric panel. To ensure safety have an electrician familiar with pool installations install the wiring and motor/pump and also make sure that the breaker is sized for the motor amperage rating. In many pool installations a separate electric panel will be installed outside near the pump and any pool electric devices.


Can you use a double pole thermostat to replace a single pole thermostat?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A double pole thermostat is a line thermostat and not to be confused with a low voltage stat. When the heating load has 240 volts for a supply voltage, both lines from the distribution panel are supposed to disconnect when the thermostat reaches the set point temperature. A single pole thermostat is only used on a 120 volt heater an the return leg from the heater is a neutral wire.A two pole thermostat can be used on a 120 volt circuit but a single pole thermostat should not be used on a 240 volt circuit. The reason being is that on a 240 volt circuit using a single pole thermostat, one "hot" leg doesn't get isolated from the heater and is always "hot" to ground. This is a shock hazard if you are working on the heater and depending on the thermostat as a disconnect from the distribution voltage.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

You bought a new Bryant furnace a 90t 352aav model what kind of thermostat do you need?

A 24 volt heating only or a 24 volt heating/cooling (if you have ac on the unit)thermostat.


How much voltage for fuel pump on a 1993 mercury topaz?

Well, If you mean the fuel pump in the fuel tank, it is a 12 volt pump. The pump runs with the 12 volt system of the car.


Can you run a 12 volt ac water pump with a 12 volt dc adapter?

No. You need 12 volt AC to run a 12 volt AC motor, not 12 volt DC.

Can you operate a 24 volt sump pump with 12 volt battery?

No, you will need two 12 volt batteries connected in series to give the 24 volts necessary to run the pump. It will not run on 12 volts.


How do you know if your battery is dead in your digital thermostat?

Remove the battery and check it with a volt meter.

What makes a heat pump change from cooling to heating Is it the reversing valve or is it something else I guess what i am asking is it that componet or does it have some kind of thermostat on it?

Typically, your central thermostat sends a 24 volt signal to a terminal labelled "O", down a (usually orange-colored) wire to the reversing valve. This energizes the valve to switch over to cooling operation. For heat, the 24 volt signal is removed, and the valve defaults to the heating position.The HVAC Veteran
