Hi all,
I am doing a project where one of its functions is to switch off the water heater when a pre-set temperature is exceeded. One of the targets for this project is to keep it low in power consumption as possible.
For this reason, i was considering using a latching relay so it wont be energized all the time, therefore consuming less power. Another option is to use a solid state relay (which as far as i know does not consume high power although it need continuous supply when contacts are closed).
Which type of relay do you suggest? a latching relay or a solid state relay?
Thanks in advance.
