Jeremy, thanks for the link & info. I am trying to drive two fans @10 amps each. They each use a 30 amp fuse and a 30 amp relay, for the initial startup current. I could use the delay you linked before one of the 30 amp relays.
Do you think a 10 amp motor will fry the relay contacts if I don't use a cap? How would I size the cap anyway?

The reason I want the delay is to avoid simultanious starting which would be quite a sudden draw on my charging system.
