So, we’re testing one of our new improved relays and we’re currently through 545,000 cycles. We are doing live load testing on a timer that cycles ever 7 seconds. It may stop tomorrow, it may keep going for a few more months. So let’s bet how many cycles can we get before it dies?
Closest guess gets a $50 credit
What’s your number.?

It is running a motor every 7 seconds? If it hasn't failed by now I go for an even million. I figure if it doesn't fail by then you will give up trying to break it.

In all fairness we do shut it down before we leave, and turn it on in the morning, so we are able to monitor it, should it stop working, or the motor fail.

Temperature range we've tested the relays alone are -20F to 150F They are rated for more than that, but this is a more than reasonable range.

I'd be more generous and just say closest. Just in case it dies tomorrow so we would have a winner. I never expected it to go this far.
