The controller only controls the timed sequence of events for proper switch times on and off.
The output controls switching relays, SSR's or any other method of switching the high power (volts/ amps) current on and off.
I prefer SPDT Relays. I know the THEORY behind Solid State, but Solid State doesn't provide the proper switching and 100% isolation that a SPDT RELAY can. A single SPDT relay is cheap, and lasts for about 7 years in my circuit before failure. I can have up to 4 relays go bad without any interruption in power. I can change relays while it is in operation without interrupting power output.
Relays are cheap, and the design allows for "on the fly" or "hot swapping" without damage to the controller or the relays or even disturbing the output power.
To answer your question on volts and amps handling, that is determined by the size of the SPDT relays. want more amps? use relays that are rated for it.
The controller sets the timing sequence and keeps it going properly.
It is used to trigger switching relays, that carry and do the heavy work. the controller just tells when.
And it's no "black box" secret. The circuit is clearly shown without black epoxy resin, in high resolution and in color.
-------Scam? Why would you give an e-mail address to me to check out. An e-mail is not a web page url. maybe posting a web address (like starting with oh say 'http://www...............' ) would help in this?
so I cannot yet say or make mention of anything in the regards of a scam, I have no information.
