Solid State Relays (SSRs) :- It is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when a small external voltage is applied across its control terminals.

What is a Solid-State Relay?
A Solid-State Relay (SSR) is an electronic component that switches Power (AC or DC current) to a load circuit and provides electrical isolation between an application's control circuit and load circuit. It is a competitive technology to Electromechanical Relays (EMRs) and other switching technologies such as Mercury Displacement Relays (MDRs).

Why Use Solid State Switching Technology?
Long Life: Solid state relays have no moving parts. Therefore, there is no mechanical wear and tear on the output contact, ideal for repetitive applications.

Quiet Operation: Solid state switching solutions make no acoustical noise when the output contacts change state. This is highly desirable in many commercial and medical applications.

Minimum Electrical Noise: Zero voltage turn-on and zero current turn-off allows for minimum electrical disturbances generated by solid state relays and contactors.

Low Power Consumption: Solid state relays require very little input power "coil current" to switch large loads.

Shock & Vibration Resistant: Solid state switching solutions are not susceptible to erratic or unreliable operation when operating under tough environments.

Ideal for Harsh Environments: Solid state relays do not generate sparks or electric arcs and do not bounce either electrically or mechanically

High Compatibility with Control Systems: DC controlled SSRs can be switched by digital systems such as µC based systems. AC controlled SSRs can be driven by limit switches and sensors carrying AC control signals.

Reduced Weight: Solid state relays are much lighter than equivalent electromechanical versions; depending on the power can be up to 70%.

Position Insensitive: Suitable for mounting in either vertical or horizontal position, "dead bug" position and adjacent mounting.

Fast Switching: Instantaneous turn-on solid state relays and contactors respond to a control signal in less than 100 µs.

Magnetic Noise Immunity: Magnetic fields have little effect on solid state relays and contactors since, unlike electromechanical contactors, they don't use a magnetic coil to switch the load.

Reduced Energy Cost: Energy savings are achieved from switching the load off when it is not required, using automation to ensure maximum system efficiency.

Applications:

  • Heating Control: Applications include professional food equipment, plastic moulding/extrusion machinery, HVAC&R and soldering equipment.
  • Motion Control: Includes conveyor systems, solar trackers, fans, solenoid, valve control, elevators, lifts, hoists, and exercise equipment.
  • Power Control: Includes power supplies, transformers, regulators, inverters, converters, UPS systems, etc. as well as any load that is not specifically for heating, lighting or motion control.
  • Lighting Control: These applications are usually broken down into three categories: theatrical, warehouse and commercial. Many of the products used in this segment are custom designed.
