*Over/under/voltage/frequency
relay is U.L. listed. Because of the lack of uniformity from one utility company to the next, Aerostar makes no warranty or representation that Aerostar's standard relay will be acceptable to any particular utility company. Some utility companies may require specific (and expensive) relays. For example NSTAR Electric requires a special relay and other components that can cost $3,000 or more.
