Question
Does a switching capacity double when two contact points in the Relay are connected in parallel?
Answer
No, it does not double.
Actually two contact points don't always switch at the same time (a slight switching-timing delay occurs between them), thus all loads are instantaneously applied to only a single contact point.

The Relay does not operate even when voltage is applied. Why is this?

We were using G2R General Purpose Relay to turn a solenoid valve ON and OFF, and sparks at the contact damaged the relay after only about 3 months of use. What caused this, and what kind of countermeasure is there for it?

A Relay burned out. Why is this?
