The reason that I suggest seperate supplies is to isolate the logic from the power circuit. As soon as a heavy load is switched even with RC snubbers,
varistors etc. the circuitry will start to fail again! Try switching 10 amps/120VAC RMS...
The optocoupler only improves the coil to contact isolation and will alieviate interference. A good quality relay and a relay driver (ULN280x seies) should suffice. KEEP the power return ground seperate from the logic ground and tie only at a single point!!!
