Inline toggle switch for reducer question
Hello to all! I am new to the cart world and have been getting great info from the forum so decided to join. I am preparing to add a 36v to 12v reducer on the cart and have a simple question. I want to run a toggle lighted switch in line to keep the voltage reducer from being powered up all the time. I dont want to run it to the key switch. Does the toggle switch need to be a 36v switch since it will just be on the hot supply to the reducer? I have several 12v 16amp toggles on hand. Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Re: Inline toggle switch for reducer question
If the reducer you have does not have a provision for turning it off like a switch circuit, then you will need a HD relay that can safely switch a power leg on and off. Use a relay like the chargers use.
Some reducers have a switch circuit and these wires can simply be run to a toggle or key switch. I hope this helps |

Re: Inline toggle switch for reducer question
Yes that is great and the pic is awesome! Thank you. My converter only has two wires in and two out. So if I use this relay then the converter will energize when I turn on and off my key correct? Thanks agian!

I went to our local auto supply and ask the same question. All the guys they're said I could use a heavy duty toggle switch. They recommended a 50amp HD switch. I installed and so far everything is working fine.

Re: Inline toggle switch for reducer question
Keep Scottys post handy,I wasted a bunch of hd switches before I put the relay in,my cart is 48v and every time the switch would go it would weld itself closed.Dave
