I got a Christmas light RF remote from HD . It's only fifteen amps . Works fine . Does not get hot . Close out ... 5 dollars . I actually got two. Start up is a lot of amps , but running I think is 17 . That is what I did , not suggesting anyone else try.
If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.

I've been using this one,

How do you like the HF DC? Is it 2hp and what info is there on it? I so need to get a better one for me and the others I teach.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I have the HF on an iVac controller. The setup generally works OK, but it does take that controller right to the limit in terms of power draw. It seems to trip the reset more than I would consider normal. I think a 15A remote could be challenged for this particular piece of equipment.

What I did after burning up a couple of Christmas special remotes, was order a $35 relay from Amazon that's designed for a 220v load, that just means it switches both legs. The one I bought is triggered by 110 so that I can use another post Christmas special remote, and it works great.
If you wanted to set up a low voltage control system they also come in a 24v DC triggered variety.
