Cerbo relay to control 240v - need recommendation for contactor

Hi All,

I'm trying to use my Cerbo relay to control a 240v powered contactor; to then turn on 240v circuit. Can anyone advise a contactor which can do this?

I want to keep the Cerbo at 0V and just use the relay to trigger the contactor on/off.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Update: I believe what I'm looking for is called a dry contactor - like this: https://www.radwell.co.uk/en-GB/Buy/FUNCTIONAL%20DEVICES/FUNCTIONAL%20DEVICES%20RIB/RIB02BDC

I'm not familiar with a dry contractor. I use a solid state relay for the same purpose. I pass a small amount of voltage through the Cerbo relay, about 12 volts (it can handle up to 70 volts). My relay uses 3 - 32 volts DC to switch a large AC load.

I can't recommend it because I know nothing about the brand and I haven't used it long enough.
