Considerations When Designing SSR Control Systems
2-19
SSR Failures
Short-circuit Protection (Fuse Selection) and Overcurrent
Protection
A short-circuit current or an overcurrent flowing through the load side
of the SSR will damage the output switching element of the SSR.
Connect a quick-break fuse in series with the load as an overcurrent
protection measure.
Design a circuit so that the protection coordination conditions for the
quick-break fuse satisfy the relationship between the SSR surge
resistance (I
S
), quick-break fuse current-limiting feature (I
F
), and the
load inrush current (I
L
), shown in the following chart.
Provide an appropriate circuit breaker for each machine to provide
overcurrent protection of the machine. Refer to page 4-5, “What is the
Meaning of I
2
t” for more details.
