The SSRL Series solid state relays
are used to control large resistance
heaters in conjunction with
temperature controllers. Solid state
relays are SPST, normally open
switching devices with no moving
parts, capable of millions of cycles
of operation. By applying a control
signal, an SSR switches “on” the
AC load current, just as the moving
contacts do on a mechanical
contactor. Three-phase loads can
be controlled using 2 or 3 SSR’s.
Use 3 SSR’s for “Y” or “star”
3-phase loads using a neutral line.
Two SSR’s will control “delta” loads
with no neutral line. Three solid
state relays are also used when
there is no neutral load to provide
redundancy and extra assurance
of control.
“Switching” takes place at the
0 voltage crossover point of the
alternating current cycle. Because of
this, no appreciable electrical noise
is generated, making SSR’s ideal
for environments where there are
apparatuses susceptible to RFI.

more reliable and capable of higher overloads before
failure than triacs. Heat is developed in a solid state
relay due to the nominal voltage drop across the
switching device. To dissipate the heat, an SSR must
be mounted on a finned heat sink or aluminum plate.
An SSR should be located where the ambient temperature
is relatively low, since the current switching rating is
lowered as the temperature increases. Another SSR
characteristic is a small leakage current across the
output when the relay is open. Because of this, a
voltage will always exist on the load side of the device
In comparing SSR’s with mechanical contactors, the
SSR has a cycle life many times that of a comparably
priced contactor. However, SSR’s are more prone
to failure due to overload and improper initial wiring.
Solid state relays can fail, contact closed, on overload
circuits. It is essential that a properly rated, fast
blowing I
2
T fuse be installed to protect the load circuit
Finned heat sinks are anodized fabrications that come
complete with tapped mounting holes and screws.
See thermal rating curves and ordering instructions for
proper selection.
All SSRL series relays come with a thermally conductive
pad mounted on the baseplate. This will significantly
improve the thermal conductivity between the heat sink
and SSR baseplate. It is also suggested that 10"/lb of
torque be used on the SSR mounting screws.
