Hi
Could I use a normal relay for high voltage application if there is no switching under load?
For example: I need switch 2kV AC (max 20mA current) through the relay. The problem is these relays are really expensive (over 50$).
If I could make sure the switching doesn't happen under load, could I use a normal relay?
I think this migth have some connection with dielectric strength of the relay? But I'm not sure at all (and there are different dielectric strengths: between contacts, contacts and coil etc).
Could you help me please? can this be done?
Thank you.
