Table 6.2:
The product life of relay contacts becomes considerably shorter than the above conditions
when the rush overcurrent is shut down.
* For countermeasures while using inductive loads, refer to "Output circuit configuration" below
in this section.
Some types of inductive loads generate rush current 5 to 15 times the stationary current at
activation. Make sure that the rush current does not exceed the current corresponding to the
maximum specified resistance load.
2) Lamp load
Lamp loads generally generate rush current 10 to 15 times the stationary current.
Make sure that the rush current does not exceed the current corresponding to the maximum
specified resistance load.
3) Capacitive load
Capacitive loads can generate rush current 20 to 40 times the stationary current.
Make sure that the rush current does not exceed the current corresponding to the maximum
specified resistance load. Capacitive loads such as capacitors may be present in electronic
circuit loads including inverters.
* For the maximum specified resistance load, refer to Section 6.1.
