   So true, when we get up in this power range we need to consider 
adding "snubber network/s" across the relay contacts.
Calculating the resistor and capacitor values is a bit complex, not 
expensive for the contact damage prevented.

   Other complex approaches like solid state relays making and breaking 
the connection/s with mechanical contactors holding the current
long term, have been done in some situations.
