I just asked tech support at Phoenix Contact a question and the answer is making me think maybe I have misunderstood relay ratings for years.
What's everyone's opinion on relay ratings for DC inductive loads, *IF* you also install a surge absorber?
Tech support said I could use the relay at the resistive load rating if I use a surge absorber! This had never occurred to me before. I always assumed that if the load was inductive, that rating stands regardless of other measures taken!
