Is there a way (relay or other) to have a resistive AC load (120vac) trigger another circuit branch switch without affecting the resistive load? In other words, if I put the coil of an AC relay (high impedance) in series with my resistive load, then no current will flow thru the load (which is what I don't want.... I want the load to continue working). Is there a low impedance version of a relay I can use in this high current scenario? I need to keep the circuits separate, hence the relay.
Is the only option to go active components (i.e. triac's, etc)?
