Hello,
I face a very strange problem since few days without any solutions, I used a relay to switch a led lamp (led lamp is 48 SMD led direct 240 Volts GU10), after few switching let says 10 the relay contact stayed ON for ever, the relay i Used first was Finder serie 32 which can handle easily 5 amp under 240 volts, I decided to test Tyco relay and the problem was the same may be later after 20 switch ON/OFF.
I tried to put a MOV to protect relay contact again overvoltage during switching, problem was the same.
Could somebody can explain me why a simple 3,5 watts led lamp can break a 5 amps relay, and How I can solve it ?
regards
David
