Is it ok to use one of the potensial free relays in the Cerbo to switch on/off a 50W 230V AC load? With other words, less than 0,25A current.
The datasheet says 6A at 125V AC. But it doesn't say how many amps at 230V...

I agree with Daniel, as its by far safer.
However for your information , I have a venus GX unit at home and am using the relay to switch a 220 volt contactor using its 220V control coil without a extra relay, so would suspect the cerbo is the same.
but do so at your own risk
Hi all
I would like to revisit this question.as my local dealers do not seem to concur.
From the above @Daniël Boekel (Victron Energy Staff) you say I could use the Cerbo Relays output 1 to switch the coil from a NC contractor
The generator my client has does not have a start stop pulse. It uses a 230V mains reference. My intention is to switch a contactor coil (from the cerbo) which takes the reference voltage from AC1 (OUT) of a Quattro. I will take a SOC "decision" to remove the AC reference to the genset
Would this make sense?
Hi the cerbo relays are rated themselves at 220v 1 amp this is marked on the relays themselves in the cerbo - however its not recommended to use 220v on the relays ( so the call is all yours), also if you do this, mark the relays clearly that they are 220v ac switching power. just for safety
