Hi. I have googled for days and can't find an answer.
Lots of people are using XLR cables and connections for temp sensors, and even some to send control signals to an SSR. I have a gas system with 2 honeywell valves, and some march 809 pumps. I want to know if I can use XLR to power them from my panel. i.e. xlr from panel to a outlet boxes on my brewstand, one for the pumps and one for the gas valves. The current specs are as follows:
March 809 pumps - 1.4 amps at 115 volts
Honeywell valves - max 2 amp primary valve, 1 amp pilot valve at 24vac
The above come from the data sheets. I suspect that the honeywell amps are
the maximum it can handle safely, and that they in actuality use far less.
I want to use an xlr cable, one per device, to send the above currents. I can't
find any info on this. In know people in industry use them to power lights
and sound systems, and that different cables types seem to have different ratings. The locking flanged outlets on my panel would be 1) overkill for the
gas valves and 2) way to expensive. $30 a piece!
