Relay info

Hi to all
I have come across this relay and I would like to know if I can use it for powering or shutting down my router (15 amps, 120 VAC).
My BOB is a PMDX-122 and the relay is identify like this:
Type:30E0302DCSV
ESI NO: 4052Y5B-32
COIL: 24 VDC
UNISYS
4914999-06
VOLTS:240V :480V :600V
FLA/POLE:30A :30A :30A
RES/POLE: 40A :40A :40A
LRA/POLE: 180A :120A :120A
LRA 3PH 3 POLE:150A :120A
FASCO IND INC
ELDON MO. USA

So far with the little electrical knowledge that I have, I have been lucky to not blow any smoke, so I rather ask before doing anything else.
Thank you

Mars, that looks like it is a "contactor" that needs a 24V DC control signal. Will you have a 24V DC control circuit?

So what will I need to be looking for to get my router turn off and on regarding a relay or contactor, without adding more control circuit.
Thank you for the reply

If your router is 115VAC, use a contactor/relay with a 115VAC coil (Canada is 115V I think?)

Canada is 115V for routers. Looks like that contactor would work if you had the 24V drive.

You can use an external D.O.L. (direct on line) starter, its a box with an ON & OFF button & a contactor inside.

Hope this helps

Mars, the control input side of that SSR seems compatible, and is what you should be looking for. However, the load size is way, way over what you need for a router - something more like Current 20A , and Voltage 120V AC would be more reasonable.

I suspect that that SSR would work, but it's overkill. You might try something like this: http://www.factorymation.com/s.nl/it.A/id.753/.f
