Does anyone know the max current rating for this PRS at 110 VAC?

I would like to know if I can run another PSU off of it.

"This new generation allows more load on your relay and 2 pumps are no problem"

As this is designed for pumps (which are going to be 50 watts each max) I would be VERY wary of running more than one PSU through it.
The above statement implys that there was a problem with the previous ones where two PUMPS would burn it out.. a single TEC is WAAAY more power than a couple of pumps.

Running a single PSU (I assume your using this to run a 172watt TEC) will be getting close to the limit of the relay.
Running two might kill it.
I wouldnt recomend using this type of relay for TEC usage. Get yourself a propper switching relay thats capable of coping with 10amps+ to be safe.
These are easily avalable from any electrical store.

AC current rating should be imprinted on relay cover. Bigfooot should be able to suppy you with that info.
