Will oscillating AC powerheads prematurely wear out Apex powerbar?

How bad is it on the outlets if I did this? Thinking 10 secs on and 3-5 secs off running 24/7.

 

[Bob Escher]

I don’t think so

I've programmed outlets to be on for 30 seconds and then off for 30 seconds with associated outlets running alternately. Haven't had any problems yet...

Does Apex state a rated life or cycles for the outlets? What type of relays control the outlets?

I haven't seen any ratings published by Apex, but they may exist somewhere.

An EB8 has six TRIACs (#1-3, 5-7) and two relay-switched (4, 8). An EB4 has four relay-switched. An EB832 has eight relay-switched.
