Default Where can I get a Normally Closed relay?
When I run current to it, I want it to open a circuit. All I can find is a typical normally open relay. Thanks.

Just get a regular 30amp relay they are either normally open or closed just depends how you wire them. IE 87a or 30.

Maybe ask for (or look for) "SPDT"; one terminal is
NO and one is NC on those, just use what one you
like.

If you wire to 87 term it is normally open (NO). If you wire to 87A it is normally closed (NC). Look for a SPDT relay with 5 contacts. The center one is 87A.
