Hi guys,

I'm working with a municipalitiy to bring a couple pump stations up to good working order. They are fairly simple operating stations and the control is going to be with an alternator and plug-in type 120V relays. My basic question is can two relay coils be wired in series? What about a relay coil and indicator light?

Thanks,

Mike
 
No and No.

Contacts can be in series. Coils and lights go in parallel.
 
Thanks,

That was what I was thinking, but figured I'd better double check.

You might consider posting a diagram here.

Best to you,

Goober Dave
