1. A relay comprising:

  • a first terminal;

    a second terminal;

    a third terminal;

    a fourth terminal;

    separable contacts electrically connected between said first and second terminals;

    an actuator coil comprising a first winding and a second winding, the first winding electrically connected between said third and fourth terminals, the second winding electrically connected between said third and fourth terminals;

    a processor;

    an output;

    a first voltage sensing circuit cooperating with said processor to determine a first voltage between said first and second terminals; and

    a second voltage sensing circuit cooperating with said processor to determine a second voltage between said third and fourth terminals,wherein said processor is structured to determine that said separable contacts are closed when the first voltage does not exceed a first predetermined value and the second voltage exceeds a second predetermined value and to responsively output a corresponding status to said output.
