In addition, two bevelwashers are supplied to provide theproper pressure for the transfer ofReplacing Contactors or MDRsImprovements in heater life andcontrol accuracy can be anticipatedwith solid state relays operated withrapid cycle times as <strong>com</strong>pared toslower operating electromechanicalrelays or even mercury displacementrelays in some applications. Whenreplacing these types of relays withthe SSR, it is important to considertwo aspects:heat. Use two #8-32 screws,15.8 mm(0.625 in.) long to secure the relay tothe heatsink. See the derating curve,Temperature Operating Curve, foroperation without heatsinks.Note: This rating curve applies only to 10 and25 amp SSRs. 40 through 75 amp SSRsshould not exceed a seven amp load withoutusing a heatsink.1. HeatSolid state devices require asmall voltage to turn on, which isconsumed as heat (1.5 watts/amp).This heat must be removed from thedevice, and is usually ac<strong>com</strong>plishedby mounting the relay on heatsinks.2.

In all cases whereuncontrolled full power can causedamage, it is re<strong>com</strong>mended that ahigh limit temperature controller andcontactor be used for protection.System DiagramsShorted SSR Alarm—SDAThe most prevalent concern whenusing solid state relays is thepossibility of a relay failing in ashorted condition. With this in mind,Watlow has designed a costeffective “Shorted SSR Alarm” SDA.The device monitors the output(current through the heater) andactivates a triac (alarm) if thereis no <strong>com</strong>mand signal from thetemperature controller. The triaccan be wired to a bell, or to anormally closed latching relay toremove power to the heater.L1L2Single-Phase—SDATempControlOpenCollectorContactorSolidStateRelayD.C.- +Thermocouple0 and5VÎ(dc)on-offRelayHeaterMountedCurrentTransformerSDAShorted SSRDetectorSingle-Phase—SBL4-20mA loop powered firing card fordirect mounting on a dc solid staterelay.
