Good Day All.
Upto now whenever I have needed to switch mains powered items on and off I have always used SPST or DPST relays.
I now need to be able to switch a mains unit on and off via a microcontrollor, the problem is that it can't be a mechanical switch like a standard relay due to the risk of sparks, as the room with this unit does at times have flammable liquids and gases.
The liquids and gases are unliky to get close to the unit in question, but I want to limit any meny risks as possible.
The mains powered unit is 240volt 75watt.
Could you please advice.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
