Yeah but... a relay with a N/C contact good for 100A+ is not a cheap off-the-shelf item.

One trick is to have all of the cable tripled up, etc, as well from source to load so in effect they form "load sharing" resistors.Tel has a point, you can parallel poles to gain extra current rating, although current sharing isn't guaranteed and if one contact goes high resistance it puts more load onto the others.

But it only works well if the cable R values are a few times worst-case contact resistance, so longer the cable (within reason) the better
