Relay question

[JagRigger]

Normally a relay uses a low amp signal to switch and supply a higher amp to the service.

Can you use a higher amp signal to switch and supply a lower amp to the service ?

You can think of a relay as a 12V powered switch. it can switch high amps as well as low amps. They usually require around 500 mA to operate, you dont break it by feeding "high amp" signals, as they only draw as much power as they need.
