Title: Lesson
Course: Motor Controls (IC 106-IC 106) > Section: Web Content

Last week you studied control (electromechanical) relays, this week the focus will be on the solid-state relay and the differences between the EMR and the SSR. Advantages and limitations for each of the relays should be noted. There is a good overview of the programmable logic relays and solid-state starters in this chapter as well. You should have a good understanding of the methods for troubleshooting the two types of relays.
Reading Assignment:
