#100082 - the life of a relay
Responding to: ???'s previous message
but I persume now that relaibility of relays is much higher than Triacs.
the life of a relay will be shorter if it is
* underrated
* grossly overrated
* without arc suppression
* not driven hard enough (e.g. 240V relay driven by 200V during a brownout)

treat your relay well and the service will be excellent.

With a 220VAC motor, I suspect we are talking about a contactor.
Anyone know the definition of a contactor vs a relay? I'm curious
