Have been going through relay alternatives for my heating controls. Realised that some relays would be energised for hours and wanted to see how they coped. So here are my test results and questions. Thanks for looking. Equipment: Relays I'm testing: Results: My results based on ambient room temp 23C. All relays not under load. All relays 240v coils. BG CUC20 Watts when energised 2.2 steady. Temp after 10 mins 36C BETA Watts when energised 1.7 steady Temp after 10 mins 35C OMRCIT Watts when energised 4.7 to 4.1falling Temp after 10 mins 67C This one has a neon. Is the high temperature of the OMRCIT, when not under load, a concern? Bet you can guess which one cost the least.
