Typically, a relay being tested for UL TV Rating sees an Inrush Load 10 times that of steady state current at 120VAC.
For example, a relay receiving TV-3 Rating sees approx. 30A Inrush for a very short duration at 120VAC and settles to a steady state current of 3A, 120VAC before cycling off. Relays must operate successfully for 25,000 cycles of TV Load Testing to receive a UL TV Rating.
The typical rating of a hot wire relay contacts is 35 amp
If, when a relay is energized, you measure 0.05 VAC across a set of normally open contacts, the
If the relay contacts are in series with a connected load, then the load will energize.
On the side of the relay there is a name plate that tells you the current carrying capacity of the contacts. It gives you the ratings at different AC voltages and a DC rating of the contacts at different voltages.
The device is a relay. A relay may have several sets of contacts, or sets of open and closed contacts that "change state" as the coil is energized.Changing state means that the normally open contact will close and the normally closed contact will open when the coil is energized.
The typical rating of a hot wire relay contacts is 35 amp
The current ratings of the contacts of a relay are written on the side of the protective envelope that covers the contacts.

"fuel pump relay contacts dirty or relay bad" I have checked contacts and I have changed the relay....Do you know of anything else?

Relay contacts change state (become pressed together) when a current passes through the coil because that current causes a magnetic field to be induced which attracts the armature, to which is attached the contacts.
A relay is an electrical switch. It consists of a electromagnetic coil and a set of mechanical contacts. Depending on the relay their could be multiple sets of mechanical contacts. The close contact lets current flow through the mechanical contacts when the relay is not turned on. When the relay is turned on current flow is stopped. This is called a normally closed contact or NC The open contact works the opposite of the closed and is referred to as a normally open contact or NO
Too much current cause excessive heat and cuases melting of the relay contacts.
