So straight to the problem

I need to connect My RPi's GPIO to a (or some) relay(s) that consume around 30 - 60 Amps to fire up and RPi GPIO only give around 16 mA/Pin(Accroding to this).

My question is,what is the safest and best way to connect the GPIO to a relay with 60A of input ?

Thankyou

P.S. : I dont know (almost) anything about electricity and english is not my native language.So i'm sorry if there are any mistakes around here

Add a transistor to your rpi and the relay to the transistor. This should work.

In case you don't know as much as me - watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-td7YT-Pums then you do.

If you could supply some numbers of the parts you are using, we can throw together a drawing for you. But right now it would just be a search in the dark.
