Exhaust Fan Restaurant Interlock

Bubbles

Anyone know any good internet companies (price and tech support) that sell microswitches, contactors, horn/strobe, and relays for an interlock setup we have to do for a restaurant? Are suppliers around here are not very helpful. It would be a 1x2hp motor for Make-up air, 2 exhaust are 1hp per

Thanks in advance

Why do you need tech support? It's pretty straightforward. The ANSUL already has the microswitches, and you just pop a couple contactors in a big junction box or use shunt trip breakers. I have a pretty nice diagram someplace if you want it.

If you must use a manufactured system, Greenheck makes a special panel expressly for this purpose, but it's expensive as hell and nobody uses them.

Because he has not done one before and just in case he needs his hand held he can fall back on someone with good tech support

Yeah, but it's not something anyone's got a turn key solution for except Greenheck. Just turning a couple things off and a couple things on when the bottle sprays. Realistically, easy for an electrician; hard for a kitchen and bath contractor.

I am working on one right now I agree but I was where he was 2 months ago

What is with being an ass, It's easy to tell from his previous posts he's a good electrician. Not everyone is MDshunk, were here to learn and exchange ideas and information and make fun and be asses to those who are not electricians.

Actually was not even close to being ass like. I was being serious as a Heart attack. I am doing something similar have never done it before and chose a brand with good tech support in case something went wrong.

I assume he is doing the same thing to. aint the internet amazing and here you thought I was being a douche bag

I'm becoming numb. I'm gonna get a few ice cube contactors and be done with it already. Thanks BK and thanks for all the great tips on everything except what the question was. Must have been a bad week or something
