DPST Power relay has 120VAC coil & 40A contacts (resistive) ratings. A Fuji PXR4 Micro Controller is triggering the relay; the load is a 220V pottery kiln element. The contacts are arcing (but not bouncing) at make & break on nearly every cycle. The above relay just replaced a previous SPST relay which experienced the same arcing with also some bouncing - which eventually pitted the contacts.
Is there something to be added to reduce/eliminate the arcing?
Thanks,
