Figure 1: Power relays play a critical role in controlling high-power loads in HVAC systems

­Power relays act as the essential switching elements that allow a thermostat or controller to direct real power flow. Each time a compressor engages, a fan motor starts, a heating strip energizes, or a heat pump shifts modes, the relay must execute a clean, consistent, and safe state transition (Figure 1). Be
