Is there a problem with using a contact switch, such as a relay, to apply and remove high voltage? Maybe there is some destructive arcing?
At what voltage is relay switching not a good idea? I haven't installed a house wall switch, but I believe those are directly switching the 120V. I want to switch 500 VDC with a very short current peak less than 100mA. I've been thinking that a physical switch would not be acceptable, but maybe it is okay.
