You need to keep RF out of them! I had one controlling a pair of Astron
70 amp 12v supplies for an 800 watt solid state amplifier, and the
supplies mysteriously blew fuses when transmitting. The reason was that
RF was causing the relay to partially open, reducing the voltage to the
regulator, which caused it to draw more current. I had to filter both
the control circuit and the switched circuit of the relay to fix this.
