Perhaps someone who has worked with these LV systems can elighten me here. Regarding the system I described for the church, I remember that two of the twelve circuits controlled eight enormous ceiling chandeliers. I don't know the actual load of each chandelier, but I would guess them to be roughly 1700-1800 watts each, and four chandeliers were switched by a single LV circuit. I would assume that the LV side of the relays could be wired in parallel (i.e. one LV circuit could operate, in this case, four relays simultaneously), since one of the breaker panels contained an individual 20a breaker for each chandelier, plus numerous breakers for other lights (pulpit, chancel, choir, baptistry, wall washers, etc.).
Were these relays available as multi-pole units, or of larger power-handling capacity?
