Has anyone been sucessful in driving a mechanical 120vac coil relay from a dimmer channel for on/off control of larger inductive loads (ie. inflatables, etc.)?
I've search our forum and others and haven't come up with much on this, other than a snubber circuit would be required to absorb the inductive kickback spike from the relay coil.
Has anyone found a 120vac relay with a snubber circuit built-in?
If not then what about using a solid state relay? Do these work without creating any inductive spikes?
Part numbers as well as any other ideas/suggestion would be appreciated!
