Much appreciated, thanks

That's some great info. Why DC Though? I mean, if the device is connected to AC mains? Also, do you have a source for that, or did you take a measurement? Thank you

That's what I thought, but couldn't find the info in the Shelly manuals. It is clear that the (manual) switch runs on mains voltage, but what goes through didn't seem clear to me.

Thanks a lot.

Hi thgoebel!

Thanks for your response. I have handy here some Shelly 1's and some 1pm's. I prefer to use the pm's since they have temperature protection. Also, using a contactor is not an option for now, since it's for an old house and I would like to avoid removing the wires and adding more in the conduits, since most old houses here have broken in-floor conduits.

So my plan is to switch this high load with the 1pm, just to have overtemp protection, and also use a switch I have handy. But it doesn't feel OK for me since I do not know the amperage that will flow through the switch. I don't know the rating of the switch I have here (it's just a normal lighting switch), so I am looking to find if it's safe, and also solve the question "what flows through the switching circuit in shelly 1 pms".

Thank you again for your answer!

Hi all, Merry Christmas.

I have a question regarding the Shelly 1pm.

I am planning to switch a high load (12 A), and my question is regarding the load that goes through the switch, in order to make the right choice about it.

Studying the diagram, I can not understand the load that goes through the switch. Is it just opening/closing a circuit by voltage difference, without any current going through, or will the 12A go through the switch?

Thank you in advance!
