Abstract
A relay circuit and a method for performing a self-test. The relay circuit has four relays, each relay having a first forcibly guided contact and a second forcibly guided contact. The four relays are arranged in a first and a second pair of two in series connected first forcibly guided contacts. The first and second relay pair are arranged in parallel between a power supply connection and a load connection for switching a power supply to a load through the first forcibly guided contacts. Such a relay circuit enables supplying power via one of the relay pairs, while cutting power via the other relay pair, which facilitates testing of the relay pair which has cut power without interrupting the process supervised by the Safety Instrumented System which the relay circuit forms part of.
