About Solid State Relays (SSR's) and SCR Power Controllers Guide:

A solid state relay has a few major differences from an electromechanical one. SSRs have no moving parts and are extremely fast switching. SSRs are generally designed to turn on/off power when the line voltage crosses 0, so there is a smaller surge and no arcing which is a major problem with electromechanical relays that leads to their failure. Due to the fact that SSRs use semiconductor circuitry to switch the current, there is some heat that must be removed from the relay due to an internal voltage drop. This heat is removed through the heat sink that is appropriately sized for the load being switched. Heat sink design and application is one of NPHs' specialties and we have many innovative heat sink designs to solve this challenge. Since there are no moving parts and no arc, the expected lifecycle of a SSR is much greater that that of an electro mechanical model. With proper heat sink specification, billions of on/off cycles can be expected.

Applications Review:

Solid State Relays (SSR's) and Power Controllers (SCR's) are used in a wide variety of applications throughout industry as per below.

• - Plastics Industry-Injection and Blow Molding, Plastics Extrusion, Blown film, Compounding
• - Packaging Macinery, Hot Plates and Platens
• - Medical Imaging, Electronic Components , ATM's and Photocopiers
• - Aerospace Spacecraft and Satellites
• - Temperature Control and Maintenance
• - Power Generation, Water Purification
• - Industrial Process Heaters
• - HVAC Industries

Highly sophisticated relays are utilized to protect electric power systems against trouble and power blackouts as well as to regulate and control the generation and distribution of power. In the home, relays are used in refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, and heating and air-conditioning controls.
