Relationship between SSRs and Ducts
Ventilation
Note: 1.
If the air inlet or air outlet has a filter, clean the filter regularly
to prevent it from clogging and ensure an efficient flow of air.
2.
Do not locate any objects around the air inlet or air outlet,
otherwise the objects may obstruct the proper ventilation of
the control panel.
3.
A heat exchanger, if used, should be located in front of the
SSR Units to ensure the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
•
Please reduce the ambient temperature of SSRs.
The rated load current of an SSR is measured at an ambient
operating temperature of 40
°
C.
•
An SSR uses a semiconductor in the output element. This causes
the temperature inside the control panel to increase due to heating
resulting from the passage of electrical current through the load. To
restrict heating, attach a fan to the ventilation outlet or air inlet of
the control panel to ventilate the panel. This will reduce the ambient
temperature of the SSRs and thus increase reliability. (Generally,
each 10
°
C reduction in temperature will double the expected life.)
Example: For 10 SSRs with load currents of 20 A,
0.31
×
10 = 3.1
Thus, 4 fans would be required.

If there are other instruments that generate heat in the control
panel other than SSRs, additional ventilation will be required.
EMC Directive Compliance
The G3PA complies with EMC Directives under the following
conditions.
•
A film capacitor is connected to both sides of the load power supply
output.
•
The input power supply cable length for 200-V models is less than
10 m.
Loss Time
Loss time will increase if the G3PA is used at a low voltage or
current. Check that there will be no problems with operation before
using the G3PA.

(A height of no

recommended.)
Duct Height
If the ducts cannot be
shortened, place the SSR
on a metal base so that it
is not surrounded by the
ducts.
Use short ducts.
Do not surround the SSR
with ducts, otherwise the
heat radiation of the SSR
will be adversely affected.
