* Time saving test runs for lamp loads by reducing interval times, monitoring of each switching operation for electrical life criteria, allowing to recognize non separation of the contacts after a pre-set time limit to be classified as a relay failure
Results of relay life testing using different contact materials are illustrated as an example in (<xr id="fig:Automotive relays under motor load"/><!--(Fig. 13.9)-->). For each contact material, 10 relays were tested under the prescribed motor load until a failure due to non-opening was detected. For this specific load condition AgNiO15 was found to be the best suited contact material.
