Line Voltage drop (110v AC - 60v AC) causing relay to drop out


Boss Hog

Hi Hope you can help. I currently have an application where I am using a 110v AC Relay for an alarm circuit. An upstream panel has had an A/B 24v power supply fitted. Everytime the panel with the PSU is switched on it drops the line voltage, to my relay, from 110v AC to about 60v AC and the realy drops out. Can anyone recommend a solution that will compensate for this drop say for 2 seconds? I am assuming the inrush current to the PSU is causing the voltdrop.

Thank you
