I think i finally figured out how to wire up my whelen bar, I have kind of a stupid question, i'm going to use 4 50 amp relays. 1 for each circuit. What exactly do relays do? do they take the amps coming in and convert it to less amps, or does the relay take in the large amount of power and only supply a small amount to the bar? I don't know if this is really a great explanation but i'm wondering. It seems that each circuit i have is roughly 40 amps so i'm going to use 50 amp breakers so it don't peak and kick the relay but i'm going to use like 12 and 14 gauge wire and everyones saying with relays its plenty, i'm just trying to understand how. Thanks for the response.
