switch for AC voltage
When I need to switch an AC load the first thing I do is look for an appropriate SSR. They are easy to use and pretty robust. They switch from a low voltage DC source and generally only take a few milliamps to turn on. Another bonus is that they come in a tons of packages ranging from tens of milliamps to hundreds of amps. Digikey has a wide selection of SSR to choose from. If you are looking for high current ones I suggest filtering the product search for chassis mount packages.
