I strongly suggest you do the relays and especially the fusible link (instead of a circuit breaker) ... before I did those two things, the electrical draw, when the fan kicked in, was horrible! With the fusible link and double relays, I hardly notice any draw at all -- BIG improvement!

Alan has some great tech tips on his site. (Not to mention an interesting site). And he's offered to share them with folks here ... which is what it's all about!
(Thanks again Alan!)
And thank you all for remember these spots and referring people to them.
