Re: SS Relays - Revisited

The model # is DC60S3

I'm using a campbelldesigns.com breakout board to trigger the relay -
12VDC

> 3. What is each wire of the crydom hooked to?

so, the +12Vdc from the breakout board is hooked to the positive side
of the input on the relay, the gnd side of the breakout board is
hooked to the other (I guess it would be referred to as gnd) side of
the input on the relay. +18Vdc side of the torch trigger is hooked to
the + side of the relay output. The other side of the torch trigger
is hooked to the other side of the relay output.

I had originally purchased an AC SSR and it worked, wired basically
as I had wired this new crydom (except I wasn't using a breakout
board at that time). The problem with that was when I shut the relay
off, it took up to a few seconds for the torch to shut off. So after
reading those past messages from Jon and others explaining why that
happens, that's when I bought the dc relay... so, I'm fairly sure
that it's wired correctly...

> 4. What is the DC power source for the load you are switching.

Not exactly sure what you mean here?... The Plasma cutter has 18Vdc
on the ttorch trigger...
