I see Dave's 2 hi-amp relays are rated for 40 amps continuous with a 60 amp peak load. I'm still half way tempted to build my own relay pack with 60 amps continuous and a 75 amp peak rated relays. I'd also use number 8, vice number 10 as Dave did. Ya just can't have too big a wire.....still mulling that one over.

Let me jump in here,,, The Beuler relays are 60 amp constant load on the high speed side and and 40 amp constant load on the low speed side. Hence the 40/60 Single Pole Dual Throw designation. The peak spike load is 150 amps but when you use the 180 temp switch the fan motor is rolling when you hit high speed so the spike of 100 amps is greatly reduced. If you buy one and it doesn't perform send it back within 30 days and I'll give you a refund.
