FUNCTIONS

SSR (Solid State Relay)
SSR consists only of semiconductor elements, and thus SSR is free from arc discharge and chattering which are typical with electromagnetic relays.
SSR has excellent durability against vibration, physical impact, and environmental influences.
Zero-Cross Function
SSR with zero-cross function turns on when AC power voltage is near zero.
When input is provided in the middle of a wave cycle, SSR delays switching until the next time the voltage becomes near zero, thus limiting transient switching noise voltage and rush current.
