About Continuous Duty Power Relay
If your compressor has melted your relay make sure the relay is a 100% duty (can remain energized continuously without harm). DO NOT confuse this for a STARTER SOLENOID!!! Starter solenoids are not made to stay on for more than a few seconds, not continuous, so they will burn out! NOTE: The relay must be no smaller than 80amp! All connections must be solid and firm (also clean of any paint rust or corrosion). The ground must be on a solid structural member of your automobile. Something that can handle high current loads.
Your power wire for one compressor must be no smaller than 6AWG. You must have an inline fuse in your system a good quality 70amp ANL fuse is recommended. But no larger than 100amp per compressor (fuse must equal to or smaller than the ratting of the relay you have in use).
