Option 1 (overvoltage protection)
Option 2 (pilot duty switch)
A Solid State Relay family
designed to switch various
loads such as heating ele-
ments, motors and trans-
formers. The relay is capable
of switching high voltages up
to 690 VACrms.
Technique
For higher reliability and load
cycle capability three alter-
nistor chips are soldered di-
rectly on to the direct copper
bonded (DCB) substrate. AC-
or DC-controlled versions are
available. Built-in LED status
indication for applied control
voltage. Other features in-
clude overvoltage protection
via the varistors and the
possibility of installing a ther-
mostat for overtemperature
protection. When equipped
with a pilot duty switch and
connected to a mechanical
relay a hybrid function is
achieved, and it is no longer
necessary to use a heatsink.

Thermal Specifications
Option 1 - Overvoltage Protection
Transients are generated by
overvoltage of atmospheric
origin on the public distribu-
tion system or when motors,
solenoids, valves, lights, heat-
ers or any electrically oper-
ated equipment are con-
nected to or disconnected
from the power source. To
perform a transient voltage
clipping or suppression func-
tion on the AC-load side of an
RZ relay, metal oxide varistors
(MOV) are normally built in.
MOV's assume a low imped -
ance state when their voltage
threshold is exceeded. Car-
lo Gavazzi SSR's are option-
ally available without varis-
tors if no transient protec-
tion is required.

Option 2 - Pilot Duty Switch
The RZ relay is available ei-
ther with or without pilot duty
switch (PDS).
Equipped with the PDS and
connected to a mechanical
relay, a hybrid function is
achieved and it is no longer
necessary to use a heatsink.
The built-in timing function of
the relay will ensure that the
switching on and switching
off is carried out by the Solid
State Relay. As soon as the
control voltage is applied, the
power output turns on and
the full voltage is applied to
the load. After max. 10 ms,
the PDS will activate the con-
tactor shunting the SSR in
about 20 ms. As the load is
already under full voltage, the
contactor does not take any
high inrush currents. It only
bypasses the SSR. When the
control voltage is removed,
the pilot duty switch will first
disconnect the contactor. Af-
ter a delay of min. 30 ms, the
load will be switched off. The
power outputs will be off max.
100 ms after the input control
voltage has been removed.

Heatsink Selection
Compare the value found in the load current versus tempe-
rature chart with the standard heatsink values and select the
heatsink with the next lower value.
It is recommended to protect the Solid State Relay against
overheating. Therefore the chart also states the maximum
switching temperature (70, 80 or 90°C) for the optional
temperature limit switch.
