Using Pro 2PM with a small 1600W 7.5 Amp pool pump?

  • Hi everyone! I have a ‘Shelly Pro 2PM’ switch and was wondering if it would be ok to use it to turn off/on my small 1600W (which I think equates to about 7.5 Amps) swimming pool pump? I also hoping to use it to monitor the power usage.

    Furthermore, I only plan on using 1 channel of this 2 channel switch.

    Is this possible and straightforward ? Any warnings or issues that I should consider?

    Many thanks for all help and advice!

    Kind regards

    Rob

    Your plan looks feasible. You should connect a snubber in parallel to the pump!
