The causes of shortened relay contact lifetime are often overlooked, says WAGO's Richard Yarnall Here, he examines some of the key issues and considers the impact on device reliability. With the transition from traditional incandescent lighting to more eco-friendly solutions such as CFL and LED technologies, what was a case of switching a simple resistive load has become something more complex and worthy of consideration in applications where long-term reliability is a key system requirement.
