Hi! Simon.
I'm not qualified to make any specific recommendations but find myself
surprised to see that the replies to date don't raise question about the
isolator remaining energised.
My experience is that :-
a) left energised for long periods it can overheat.?
b) It will probably "pull" 1/2 amp continious to remain energised so you
will need a damn good battery to last between start ups.?
