Hi,
I'm having problems with relay contacts that are fusing and failing prematurely.
The relay is similar to G5L.
I'm using 12VDC coil and switching a 400W lamp ballast at 110V.
The relay is rated to 10A, but I think due to the induction caused by the ballast, the contacts are arcing and fusing when they open up.
Am I in the right path?
If I use a RC snubber, would that work?
Where can I find one of those one package RC snubber, instead of buying capacitor and resistor separately?
Does anyone have any input for me?
Thank you in advance.
RI
