Is it against code to mix voltages within one force guided relay? I have a force guided relay with a 24 VDC coil. This relay has five normally open contacts and one normally closed contacts. Two of the five normally open contacts are used: one to switch 208 VAC and one to switch 24 VDC. Is this allowed or just poor practice? My gut tells me the machine builder is just cheap and didn't bother separating the two circuits.
The coil for this force guided relay is switched using a safety PLC.
