Abstract

A system includes first and second relays which physically adjoin one another and are controlled such that one of the relays is off whenever the other relay is on. In operation, heat generated in the first relay thermally conducts to the second relay where the relays physically adjoin one another whereby the second relay functions as a heat sink for the first relay while the second relay is off and the first relay is on. Correspondingly, in operation, heat generated in the second relay thermally conducts to the first relay where the relays physically adjoin one another whereby the first relay functions as a heat sink for the second relay while the first relay is off and the second relay is on.
