[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 377638, member: 1408"] I was thinking in terms of solid state switching where a circuit could still exist because of very low resistance load. I once used a small relay ( switching load 10A ) to switch a 500w TH flood in a wearhouse switched by an Elkay electronic touch time delay switch . Because of the low solenoid resistance the coil had a small voltage across it for 24 hrs , trying to operate I suppose , ended up being red hot & knackered . I could only do it using the old style Columbus pneumatic delay switch which does actually break the circuit to switch off . But I agree , as Specs says we can only surmise . [/QUOTE]
