Help Needed - Eaton Switches and Relays

[yhoule64]

Hi, I would definitly need some help. I have a box enclosure with 4 Eaton switches RF9601-DW-Z. Each one activates a 110V coil Contactor. I want to control 2 pumps (Pool and SPA) and their respective heaters. The switches behavior is crazy. Even without load, often, when I turn off one switch, other may funnyly trip and also turn off. Not all the time and not allways the same switches. I tried the Eaton Driver, the Generic and Generic+ Switch Driver and it is allways the same. The same thing sometimes happen when I manually close one of those switches. Those swithes are influenced by each other. Crazy

-Are the Eaton switch Crap?
-Are the switches suffering from interférences?
-Switches are installed by pairs into a cabinet. Closed or open cabinet...no difference.

Please help.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I will reply myself so the community would benefit from my findings. I have moved away the 4 Eaton Switches from each other, thus avoiding them from interfering with each others.
Problem solved! No more switch glitch.

Interesting issue. I have about 40 Eaton switches and dimmers. Many of them are in 2 and 3 gang boxes. Most of them are in plastic boxes (original to the house), but I have replaces several with metal boxes. I haven’t experienced your issue. I wonder if the problem stems from the metal switch boxes being mounted inside a metal enclosure?

Thanks for posting this. It will likely help others.
