Opto-isolated input limits current leakage Benefits of SAS(R) Relays • High Performance • Direct bonded copper technology • 100% Tested • Zero-crossing • Output voltages to 660 VAC • AC or DC control signals and AC output relays • Compact, innovative designs • UL/CSA Common Applications Solid State Relays are used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, such as the following examples. • Heating Controls • Industrial Process Controls • Induction Furnaces • Laundry Equipment • Plastic Molding & Extrusions • Pizza Ovens • ATM Machines • Egg Incubators All Series SA solid state relays feature opto-isolated inputs where an internal LED signals a photosensitive element when output switching is to occur. This provides up to 4,000V isolation between the input voltage and the output voltage and also limits current leakage. This feature is important in certain medical, residential and industrial applications. DC relays are also protected if the polarity is accidentally reversed during installation. E2 visit www.sprecherschuh.com/ecatalog for the most up to date information SSNA2012 Many safety and convenience features Integral heatsink with DIN-rail mounting All Sprecher + Schuh solid state relays come standard with an LED to indicate when the relay is in an operational state. This increases safety and speeds troubleshooting. A complete selection of relays is available with a built-in heatsink (SAR models). This eliminates the hassle of selecting and installing a properly sized heatsink, or mounting the relay directly on the back pan with silicone grease. In addition, all hockey puck type relays come standard with a transparent cover that provides touch protection. Rail mounted relays also offer touch protection through the use of recessed terminals “Intelligent” relays include special fusing Approvals Series SA Solid State Relays are UL Recognized and CSA Approved. Larger SAR relays (50, 75 & 100A) come standard with a feature that shuts down the unit when it senses an over temperature condition. A built-in replaceable semiconductor fuse further protects these larger relays from catastrophic failures due to short circuits.

They are an excellent replacement for thermal greases, and are proven to provide the lowest thermal resistance values of any commercially practical interface material, while being more convenient and less messy. Available in sets of 5. How to calculate the proper size heat sink? As ambient temperature increases, the use of a properly sized heat sink becomes necessary. Hint: the smaller the “heat sink rating” number, the better the heat sink is at dissipating the heat. The new DIN heat sinks are the outstanding choice for most applications because: 1) They use the least amount of sub-plate mounting space, 2) They extend the heat sink forward for the best air flow, and 3) Universal mounting-bracket -they can be DIN rail-mounted for fast installations without the need for drilling and tapping pre-aligned hole patterns, or they can be attached with a standard bolt. Use a thermal conduction grease or a thermal pad in order to achieve the proper heat sinking capability between the SSR and the heat sinks show below: SAS-HTSK Features/Benefits: l DIN rail mountable l Space saving design l Ground screw built-in l Drilled and tapped to fit panel mount relays • 60°C Phase Change Temperature • Total Interface Pad Thickness = 3 mils • Lowest Contact Thermal Impedance Available • No “run out” in vertical mounting applications • Heat sensitive material, store below 30°C (85°F) • Ruggedized material that is resistant to handling damage while in transit PKG Price SAS-THERMPAD5 20 SAS Catalog Number Solid State Relays E Sold in packages of 5 pieces Discount Schedule F SSNA2012 visit www.sprecherschuh.com/ecatalog for the most up to date information E11 Application Notes Series SA Solid State Relays General Application Notes Heat Sinking Heat is generated by all Solid State Relays in direct relation to the amount of current being switched. Approximately 0.8-1.4 Watts will be generated by the SSR for every Amp switched. This heat must be dissipated as fast as generated otherwise the temperature will increase until the relay fails. Approximately 90% of all problems with relays are directly related to heat. Adequate heat sinking, including consideration of air temperature and flow, is essential to the proper operation of a solid state relay. Units should never be mounted in an enclosed area without proper air flow. Units should also never be mounted to a plastic base or to a painted surface. Failure to provide adequate heat sinking will cause a solid state relay to fail. We recommend mounting our units on the heat sinks listed on page E12 of this catalog. However, when this is not possible, and the units are to be mounted to some other heat sinking object, material heat conductivity should be kept in mind. In heat dissipation, our heat sinks are approximately equivalent to a sheet of aluminum 1/8” thick by the dimensions shown: SAS-HTSK-1.6 SAS-HTSK-1.0 10” x 10” 14” x 14” (254 x 254mm) (355.6 x 55.6mm) (Given proper ventilation and ambient temperature.) In comparison, twice the amount of steel and four times the amount of stainless steel would be needed to achieve the same effect. Any panel mount Solid State Relay must be mounted to a clean, bare (non-painted) surface that is free of oxidation. Solid State Relays Air is a very poor conductor of heat and will cause the relay to run hotter than it should. To fill these pockets, Thermal Transfer Pads (see pg E12) should be placed on the metal base of the relay before mounting to a metal surface. We suggest torque of 10 inch-pounds on both of the SSR mounting screws. SAS/R E Since even the best heat sink surfaces have some imperfections, there will be many air pockets between the base of the relay and the heat sink (or panel) surface. Alternately, an evenly applied 0.002” thick layer of Dow Corning 340 (or equivalent) can be used. Note that a thicker layer of thermal compound actually decreases heat transmission. Since airflow will affect its performance, a heat sink should be mounted in a manner that assures unrestricted airflow over its surface. Recommended mounting is on a vertical metal surface, with the fins oriented vertically so that air can flow unimpeded along the surfaces of the heat sink. Horizontal or inverted mount- E12 ing is possible but not recommended, and the SSR must be derated accordingly. Care must be taken when mounting multiple SSRs in a confined area. SSRs should be mounted on individual heat sinks whenever possible. Panel mount SSRs should never be operated without proper heat sinking or in free air as they will THERMALLY SELF DESTRUCT UNDER LOAD. A simple method for monitoring temperature is to slip a thermocouple under a mounting screw. If the base temperature does not exceed the “max heat sink temperature” (shown on pg E14) under normal operating conditions, the SSR is operating in an optimal thermal environment. If this temperature is exceeded, the relays current handling ability must either be thermally improved by the use of a larger heat sink, or greater air flow must be provided over the device through the use of a fan. Some cases may require the selection of a higher current output SSR and thermally derating the device accordingly. Remember that the heat sink removes the heat from the Solid State Relay and transfers that heat to the air in the electrical enclosure. In turn, this air must circulate and transfer its heat to the outside ambient. Providing vents and/or forced ventilation is a good way to accomplish this. 80% Power Rule All Solid State Relays are capable of running at full rated power (with proper heat sinking). However, it is strongly suggested that they be used at no more than 80% power to provide a safety margin in case of higher than expected voltage, temperature, or dust on the heat sink, etc. Additionally, voltage can vary up to +/-10%, and a heating element up to +/-10% over its life—two main reasons for the 80% rule. Din Mounted Single and Three Phase Relays The SAR series are provided with integral heat sinks. The SAR50-100A units should be mounted so as to provide 1” (25mm) of space between the units, for best air flow (the 80% of power rule described above still applies). They can be mounted against each other if the end units in a row are derated by 10% and the middle units are derated 10% more than the end ones. On the other hand, the SAR-25/40A units can be installed on a DIN-rail with only 0.18 inches between relays, “Fin-to-Fin”! The SAR-25/40A family provides more amps per square inch than other brands of industrially hardened SCR controllers and Discount Schedule F visit www.sprecherschuh.com/ecatalog for the most up to date information SSNA2012 Application Notes Series SA Solid State Relays General Application Notes (continued) Heat Sink Calculations for SAS Family of Solid State Relays Sprecher + Schuh SAS Power Dissipation SAS3-10 10 Amp Relays 10A/11W 8A/9W 6A/6W 4A/4W 2A/2W Max heat sink=90ºC Pwr Ref: VO=0.80VO Rt=0.038 Ω SAS3-25 25 Amp Relays 25A/31W 20A/23W 15A/16W 10A/10W 5A/5W Max heat sink=85ºC Pwr Ref: VO=0.80VO Rt=0.021 Ω SASx-50 50 Amp Relays 50A/59W 40A/44W 30A/30W 20A/18W 10A/9W Max heat sink=105ºC Pwr Ref: VO=0.80VO Rt=0.0092 Ω SASx-75 75 Amp Relays 75A/84W 60A/63W 45A/44W 30A/27W 15A/13W Max heat sink=105ºC Pwr Ref: VO=0.85VO Rt=0.0046 Ω All calculations are in ºC. See derating curves on next page. Sprecher + Schuh provides three ways to calculate the heat sink for your application. 1) Heat Sink Calculation Method Maximum heat sink temperature minus maximum ambient temperature divided by the power dissipation (use the chart above for power dissipation at desired current). A 25A unit can have an 85ºC heat sink (85-45 ambient) = 40ºC temp rise is allowed 40ºC/23W = 1.74ºC/W heat sink rating or less (less temperature rise per watt is better) Therefore, the recommended heat sink would be part number: SAS-HTSK-1.6 (rated at 1.6ºC/W) or any equivalent heat sink that is 1.74 or LESS. Remember, the lower the heat sink value, the better it dissipates the heat. The relay must be connected to the heat sink using an appropriate thermal conduction grease or thermal pad. 2) De-Rating Calculation Method Maximum heat sink temperature minus maximum ambient temperature divided by the heat sink rating (use the previous chart for power dissipation). (Max Heat Sink Temp - Max Ambient Temp) / Heat sink rating = ___(Max allowed Watts) For Example, use an • SAS3-10-1D is a 60ºC ambient with a 2.0ºC/W heat sink. • 90ºC - 60ºC = 30ºC heat sink Temperature rise is allowed. • 30ºC divided by 2.0ºC/W =15W. • From the table, full load current of 10A only dissipates 11W. • Thus, an SAS3-10-1D mounted on a 2.0ºC/W heat sink can switch 10A at 60ºC. 3) Power Calculation in Place of the Charts Heat rise calculation of an SAS solid state relay based upon amperage switched “ON” 100% of the time. Please note, the Sprecher + Schuh “SAS” SSR uses engineering techniques that provide maximum surge survivability while generating a low temperature rise. (0.9 x Irms x VO) + (I2rms≈ x Rt) = Power For Example, use an • SAS3-25-1D for a 21A application. • (0.9 x 21A x 0.80V) + (212 x 0.021Ω) = 24.4 W (Max Heat Sink Temp - Max Ambient Temp) / Watts = ___ For Example, use an • SAS3-25-1D running at 20 Amps in a 45ºC ambient • From the chart, at 20 Amps it dissipates 23 Watts Discount Schedule F SSNA2012 visit www.sprecherschuh.com/ecatalog for the most up to date information E13 E Solid State Relays For proper airflow, the SAR units should both be mounted in a manner leaving space above and below the heat sink equal to or greater than the height of the heatsink. Since airflow will affect performance, relays with integral heat sinks should be mounted in a manner providing unrestricted airflow over their surfaces. Recommended mounting is on a vertical surface, with the fins oriented vertically, so that air can flow unimpeded along the surfaces of the heat sink. • • • • SAS/R will perform better in installations with higher ambient temperatures.

Note that only two SSRs are required (the third is optional). The inputs are shown in parallel, but they can also be connected in series as long as the minimum control voltage is provided to power each relay. Logic Signal (TTL) Operation Relay positioning in a three-phase circuit impacts the current draw and therefore the amount of heat generated. When positioned in location “A”, as indicated below, a relay will draw 73.2% more current than position “B”. Using position “B” will enable the use of a smaller relay or will provide an increased safety margin. Additionally, by drawing less current, heat generation is reduced by 40%. Many TTL gates, for example, will safely dissipate 40mW or more; and the total package will dissipate up to one Watt. (This gate power must not be confused with relay input power.) Whereas an SSR in which the input requires 6mA at 5Vdc consumes 30mW of power, the TTL gate sinking this same 6mA may have a voltage drop of only 0.2 volt, and power consumption of just 1.2 mW! TTL gates can only sink relay input current, not source it. This is because the sourcing transistor has a pull-up resistance in its collector circuit. Pulling 11mA through this resistance, in this case 130 ohms, would leave insufficient input voltage to operate the relay. For example, an SSR requiring a nominal 5Vdc may not operate on less than 4 volts. Since TTL gates can only sink current to the relay, and since current sinking is done from a “zero” logic signal, the relay can only be turned on from a “zero” signal. This is contrary to normal relay operation, which prefers that the relay be turned on as a result of a “one” signal. To obtain relay actuation from a logical “one” signal, it is necessary to use an inverting gate. With such a gate, when a “one” signal is received, the sink transistor will turn on and conduct relay input current. Discount Schedule F SSNA2012 visit www.sprecherschuh.com/ecatalog for the most up to date information E Solid State Relays Example Wiring (SAR-3 Phase Unit) Typically, the drop across the transistor and diode at 11mA would approximate 0.8 volt; and the drop across 130 ohms is 1.4 volt. This 2.2 volt drop would leave only about 1.8 volts for the relay to operate, not enough for relay turn-on. E15 SAS/R Three Phase Wiring Suggestions One of the primary advantages of SSRs and I/O modules is their compatibility with low level, solid state logic. Any logic gate, buffered or not, capable of delivering the required current and voltage within its maximum power dissipation rating can be used to control an SSR or I/O module. Application Notes Series SA Solid State Relays General Application Notes (continued) Changing Pickup and Dropout Voltage Installation Density By using a zener diode in series with the input, the pick up and drop out voltage of a Solid State Relay or an I/O Module can be increased by the value of the zener. For example, a typical SSR has a maximum pick up voltage of 4 Vdc and a minimum drop out of 1 Vdc. By adding a 6 volt zener as shown, the new pick up will be 10 volts and the new drop out 7 volts. To achieve maximum installation density and to provide separate wiring channels for the high voltage/high current wires vs the control signal wires, Sprecher + Schuh’s SAR family of 25 or 40 amp products can be installed as shown below. Please ensure that you observe the wire terminal numbers. The spacing shown is the minimum requirement for most industrial applications. Unrestricted airflow is needed for the Sprecher + Schuh product to perform at its rated capacity. Latching SSR An AC SSR can be made to self latch (at the sacrifice of input-output isolation), thus permitting the use of momentary action switches for on/off or stop/start operation. It may be necessary to insert an RC filter across the relay input to prevent the relay from turning on due to switching transients upon application of system power. Note that the SSR employed here must be an AC input type. 2.2k Ω, 5W 1k Ω, 5W Crimped-on Wire Terminals When using either Ring or Spade crimped terminals with the SAS relays, do not use the saddle clamps that are provided. It is sufficient to secure the Ring or Spade Connectors with the enclosed screws. E Solid State Relays When using electrical wire that is larger than #10 AWG with the SAR relays, 25-40 amp models, use a crimped lug, such as Amp# 790368-1 or equivalent. DIN Rail Sizes SAS/R All DIN Rail mountable relays and modules will fit on any standard 35mm rail.

This is ideal for purely resistive loads (0.9-1.0 power factor). For loads of power factor 0.8-0.9 Sprecher + Schuh recommends increasing the controller cycle time to 5 sec. minimum. Loads with a power factor <0.8 should be derated for inductive load. The relay can be short circuit protected with an appropriate semiconductor fuse. The load integral of the relay (I2t) determines which size of fuse is to be used. The fuse load integral must be below that of the relay for the appropriate protection. Be certain to analyze the fuse current/time curve to insure that the fuse can withstand the motor starting current (if applicable). Recommended Heater Loads: SSR Rating 10A 25A 50A 75A at 120Vac 960W 2.4KW 4.8KW 7.2KW at 240Vac 1.9KW 4.8KW 9.6KW 14.4 KW at 480 Vac 3.8KW 9.6KW 19.2KW 28.8KW NOTE: Overload protection should be provided by another slow-acting fuse in series with the short circuit protection fuse. (An overload being an overcurrent condition that is not of high enough amplitude to be considered a short circuit). Transient Voltage Protection Low cold resistance elements such as Tungsten or Short Wave Infrared have special design considerations due to high inrush currents. Please consult the factory. When operating a relay in an electrically noisy environment, large voltage transients may damage the relay. To protect against this occurrence, it is advisable to install appropriate varistors across the respective supply and load terminals of the relay output. Solenoid Valves and Contactors Power Rating 80% 65% 40% Recommended Solenoid Loads = V x I x (Power Rating) Recommended Solenoid at 5 sec. cycle time.

It is up to the installation company to properly size the MOV to the application! Ideally, the MOV protection is near the noise generating inductive load (such as a motor, drive, or other large inductive coil) or you can place MOVs directly across the output terminals of the SSR. Some “typical” MOVs include: 600 volt application - Harris V660 LA80B 480 volt application - Harris V575 LA80B 300 volt application - Harris V320 LA40B The new SAS and SAR families of solid state relays include technology that dramatically reduces your need to install an external MOV except in extremely noisy environments or inductive load applications.

Model SAR6-30-3 shown with customer-installed MOVs. SAS/R All of Sprecher + Schuh power SSRs use high noise immunity circuitry in addition to a snubber network to handle the electrical noise generated by inductive loads. However, the cycling of a solenoid load will generate large current spikes which will decrease the power capability of the SSR. The power rating of the SSR will be reduced by the power rating percentage shown. Application Notes Series SA Solid State Relays General Application Notes (continued) Single Phase Motor Control Typical Temperature Control Installation The following table gives guidelines for selecting relays for single phase non-reversing motors. Driving reversing motors is not recommended due to the potentially destructive voltage doubling and capacitive discharge that they create. Electrically heated chamber application: • DC activated SAR6 solid state relay • Thermocouple input • Alarm for operator warning Recommended Loads: SSR Rating 10A 25A 50A 75A at 120Vac 1/4 Hp 1/3 Hp 3/4 Hp 1-1/4Hp at 240Vac 1/2 Hp 1 Hp 2 Hp 3 Hp at 480Vac 2 Hp 3 Hp 7-1/2 Hp Lamp Test An AC output solid state relay can be quickly and easily tested. To evaluate whether or not it is operative, connect the relay as follows using the appropriate voltages. The lamp bulb should not turn “On” until the control voltage is applied (and “Off” when control voltage is removed). If the lamp comes “On” with no control voltage, the output is shorted. Shown is an AC output solid state relay. DC units can be checked the same way with appropriate DC voltages and load. Packaging or food processing application: • SAS DC activated solid state relay • Analog sensor input • Alarm circuit to stop PLC or related equipment Safety Due to their leakage current Solid State Relays are NOT open circuits, even when in the off-state. Safety can only be achieved by a mechanical disconnect between the solid state relay and the power lines. SAS/R Solid State Relays E Typical Temperature Control Application E18 Locking Screws - SAR Units Screws are prevented from self-loosening by a special design. The automatic progressive locking principle generates an increasing thread friction as the screw is tightened. Repeated tightening and loosening does not cause fatigue of the locking components. Recommended torque is 7-9 in/lbs. Care should be taken not to overtighten screws. Discount Schedule F visit www.sprecherschuh.com/ecatalog for the most up to date information SSNA2012 Application Notes Series SA Solid State Relays General Application Notes (continued) Fusing Considerations Output Leakage Circuit Breakers and slow blow fuses offer no protection to Solid state relays. Fast, “I2T Semiconductor Fuses” are the only reliable way to protect SSRs. Solid state relays typically have 8mA leakage current, even in their off-state. The only safe way to prevent shock is to have a mechanical disconnect between the line and the relay. All solid state relays have an I2T rating. This rating is the bench mark for their ability to handle a shorted output condition. Sprecher + Schuh advocates circuit protection through the use of a properly selected I2T (semiconductor fuse). Direct Copper Bonding Devices such as electromechanical circuit breakers and slow blow fuses cannot react quickly enough to protect the SSR in a shorted condition and are not recommended!! For fuses, I2T is the measure of let-through energy in terms of current versus time. For solid state relays, I2T is based directly on the output thyristor’s single-cycle peak surge current determined by: I2T= I2pk(surge) x 0.0083 (sec) 2 The procedure is to select a fuse with an I2T let-through rating that is less than the I2T capability of the solid state relay for the same duration. An I2T fuse protects the solid state relay. You still need a regular fuse or circuit breaker to protect the complete installation, in accordance with your local electrical code. Sprecher + Schuh employs the proven reliability of direct copper bonding technology to all of its SCR chip assemblies. This direct bonding provides a more reliable mechanical connection between the SCR and the heat sink, by reducing the physical stress on the chips and also provides for better heat dissipation by reducing the layers heat must travel through to the ambient. This results in a more durable relay and a longer usable relay lifetime. Using SSRs with Electromechanical Relays Using an SAS or SAR relay to activate an electromechanical or mercury contactor is possible. Electromechanical relays produce a significant amount of electrical noise which could cause a solid state relay to mistrigger. If these two types of relays are used together, surge voltage protection may be required. Caution Sprecher+Schuh Solid State Relays can fail without warning (as is possible with any electronic component). Many temperature controllers and PLC’s use triacs as output devices and most manufacturers place a “.022 microfared snubber” across their triacs for their own protection. This snubber can produce enough leakage when the controller is “off” to cause the solid state relay connected to it to go “on” or at least to not turn “off” properly. For this reason Sprecher+Schuh cannot recommend, condone or warrant any application of our products that could cause harm or injury, in any manner, to any person upon such failure of the product. Please contact the factory if you have any doubts or questions as to whether this caution applies to your application. SAS/R A solution to this problem is to place a 10K ohm, 2 Watt resistor (for 120 Volt control), across the input (control) of the solid state relay. The SAS and SAR AC input family typically do NOT need the additional burden resistor. This saves you installation time and cost.
