thanks! 2 - 3pole contactors will work. Now, installing the time clock. There are 4 terminals, 2 line, 2 load. I'll parallel up the coils, but I don't see where I would need 2 wires in and 2 out for the time clock. I seem to remember there being a removable bridge in the time clock. Do I just remove this to have the 2 lines in so it acts like a switch for the contactors? But it must need power all the time to function, so ...... where does that come from? the contactors are the load side?

advice much appreciated!
