SWITCHING UNDER LOAD

500V and below: Relay may be on either side of the load and the case may be floating or grounded.
See High Voltage Relay Grounding Requirements for details.

Above 500V: The relay must be on the ground side of the load and the case MUST be grounded.
See High Voltage Relay Grounding Requirements for details.
