relay draws less amp(around 250 miliamp) to get energized to trigger what is hooked up to..it is giving you upto 30~40 amp of output(for regular relay, spdt)..

if the button is not rated for 30~40 amp, then i recommend you to add relay..

Totally agree on this....although I was assuming, maybe wrongly, that if the unit he buys is a START button, it would come with instructions telling him he needed a relay if that was the case. However, always better to check.....wouldn't want a melt down the first time you use it :o
