You have to test solid state relays in diode mode, since triac based SSR's will not show direct continuity across the switched side even when fully turned on, but will show a ~1v voltage drop in diode mode.
Our elevator maintenance vendor is quoting $2,800 to replace our old mechanical starter with a new solid state one. Does this sound like a fair price and do you have any recommended installation vendors in the Los Angeles area?
Well here's a loaded question, cuz there has to hundreds of different types and ratings on these things. If I had to throw a dart at this board, I might lean towards 24volt input and 120/240Vac output control. If you need a part number, go to our website, click on "Buy Products", and then "Electromechanical" and then "Relays" and then "Solid State". You will find 2247 choices. So,,,, I strongly suggest you first decide what kind of voltage will control the SSR, (AC or DC, 5, 12, 24, 120 etc.) then you must decide what kind of voltage it will be controlling on its output. This way you can narrow it down significantly. Good luck on your project.
I have a four wheeler with a light bar that uses a relay, I'm having a problem with the relay getting water in it, can I use a solid state relay to fix the problem.
Hello Everyone, I have a small question about SSR D1D100, I have a battery output connected through SSR to Load Motor, and I can easily Turn On and Turn OFF SSR D1D100 with input Voltage as wanted..but it is only Battery Discharge Mood connecting Motor but When i want to charge the battery, I have same SSR connected and Charging through Relay in to Battery(I can also Stop Charging by Turn OFF Relay and TURN ON Relay to Charge was the IDEA) ..So I don't know why these SSR works few days and Goes always TURN ON Mood? so my question is are these SSR D1D100 only used to connect load and discharge not to Charge Battery ? Unidirection not Bidirectional? Thank you for your Helpful Answer
Hi can you advise please, I'm using contactors to switch capacitor into and out of a motor circuit running at 415 vac 50 hz. The max capacitor size will be max 600 microfarad. The circuit will be triggered by 240 vac using voltage control relays but I need the SCR to switch at Zero cross over and then when the voltage builds to switch off at zero cross over. I will also need I believe a snubber circuit . Can you recommend any items please? Many thanks Andrew
If your multimeter has diode test mode, then yes. Continuity will always test infinite, since you have to overcome ~1v diode voltage drop before continuity is apparent.
I am building a powder coat curing oven that is about 6' x 6' x 8' (I have some large pieces that need to be cured). I know typical home wiring quite well but electronics is another story. I need to heat this space to around 420 degrees f. I will only use the oven once a week at most so it's okay if it takes a while to heat up. I am wondering how many heating elements I should use, what kind of SSRs to use (and do I need one for each heating element?). Then I would need a digital power controller along with a heat probe. Then there is the recirculating fan and anything else I may be over looking. Trying to wrap my mind around this project.
Hi Sammy, In the interest of liability, we must stress that what we are going to give you is merely suggestions, rather than instructions. Given that, ovens are a little bit out of our area of expertise, though I think that we can still try to help you somewhat. Upon asking around for you, it was suggested to me that you should start by choosing an appropriate process controller, and then you should choose the SSR based on that. I was also informed that SSRs nearly always require some sort of heatsink in order to carry their maximum rated current, so that is another thing to keep in mind. You will also need some sort of sensing device such as a thermocouple or TRD. Fortunately, modern temperature controllers tend to be very plug and play with just about any sort of TC/TRD input. Hope this helps!
Thanks for short and clear explanation. Most videos on the topic are 10 minutes long and hard to watch.

Thank you for the explaination. I was wondering why I was watching this item on ebay and now I know what for.
You made my solid state relay activate.
Back to you in the studio. Great video.
Thank you, glad you liked it
It was short but an informative video. Does SSR provide short circuit protection?

which detector is the best detector in the world now??
how to check SSR if good or bad? CRYDOM A2440, Input is 90-280VAC - Out put is 240VAC 4A

Is fair price honestly
thank you so much for the information. nicely explained.
Any hobbyists(/DIYers/Makers) around?
What kinda SSR do you usually use? Or mostly needed for common projects?
TIA

thanks. where can I get ssr_40va . thanks
if to use two source 24vdc can i use VC5401 RELAY for isolated two source

Andrew, this is an engineering question. Can you call us at 800-337-1720 and ask for engineering please.
Can you provide a email address for technical please I'm based in U.K. Thanks for quick response.
You can find our email addresses at the bottom of our web page galco.com under "Contact us" there are several to choose from.
Thanks for explaining
Can I sense when AC power off? from the other side ?
If your multimeter has diode test mode, then yes. Continuity will always test infinite, since you have to overcome ~1v diode voltage drop before continuity is apparent.
Depends on the ip rating
But different relays expanded
Thanks!
yep.....i agree..
This woman is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and SMART too :-) excellent information.

great
Thanks
thanks
I am trying to build a powder coating curing oven. I need some SSRs but don't know which kind. Back to google.
Hello,
We would like to try to assist you. Can you gives us some information regarding what you are trying to work with/build?
Thanks!
