Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

Even though the function of single phase and three phase relays are quite similar, their applications can vary significantly. This is primarily due to the characteristics of three phase power circuits ...

The proper selection of 3-phase solid state relays for motor control application depends not only upon a comprehensive understanding of 3-phase SSRs, but also of the 3-phase power system and typical ...

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Relays have enabled low-voltage signals to control high-voltage systems since before the invention of the transistor. With very low on-resistance, the ...

Sponsored by Sensata Technologies Holland B.V. A Solid State Relay or Contactor (SSR or SSC) is an electronic component that switches Power (AC or DC current) to a load circuit and provides electrical ...

An increase in the demand for energy worldwide has driven the search for alternative primary sources of energy, even to the most remote locations of the globe. Natural gas, one of the leading ...
