welding contacts and blowing fuses after having upgraded fuses and 1/2 ed teh amperage by rewiring motor to 240 from 120. Engineer from Finder told me expect 10-15 inrush current on start up. I am thinking like "NO WAY!" is that reasonable? Do I need to break my head and figure out how to shove a 20 amp DPDT relay base in there or is there something else wrong? Motor says 1.2 amps @ 240 and I have an 8 amp relay on there. 20 amp relay base made for 4 poles so imagine how much wider that thing is.
