Can someone help me w/ an electrical question.
I want to make sure this doesn't violate electrical code.
I have a water feature with water lights that can only be turned on when the water is on or they will overheat. So I'm thinking I'll use a relay that will take the 220VAC line to the water feature pump as an input and then switch the 12VDC line to the lights at the output. I can use a relay like the Crouzet DC60SA7, but its not water resistant. If I mounted the relay in a small water tight box, would it be OK to put it in the same sprinkler box that contains the 220VAC connections for the pump? I'm just worried because if the box fills with water (which it does if the water feature gets clogged), I would have a potential short from the 220VAC to the 12VDC line - but then I guess it would also throw the breaker for the 220 line?
Thanks much in advance
