REFLECTOR: Circuit Breakers/Switches

[Jeff Howell]

I use solid state contactors and relays at work all the time. I personally love them. They are silent (no annoying clicking) and we have never had a failure with the ss. We have had problems with the traditional magnetic contactors failing because of continuous cycling. We use ss in all of our temperature control devices.  Jeff
