What is the difference between a relay, a contactor, and a motor starting
relay? I ask this because I was ready to buy a motor starting relay that
I thought would have worked just fine for my Tesla coil control
cabinet (proper voltage and current ratings), but the person who was
selling it said that it would not be possible to use it as a simple high
current relay, and that I really needed a regular relay.
