What is a Hybrid Solid State Contactor?
Crydom has combined solid state and mechanical switching
technologies to create its line of Hybrid Solid State Contactors.
The RHP contactors (patent pending) provide the performance
advantages of both technologies in an industry standard DP contactor
package. Crydom’s proven Hybrid SSR technology utilizes
contactless solid state turn on and turn off performance, coupled with
the very low on state power dissipation characteristic of contactors.
This combination results in a fast switching highly reliable contactor
that does not require the use of a heat sink.
Available in single and 3 phase versions, Hybrid Solid State
Contactors are a cost effective alternative to Mercury Displacement
Relays (MDR). RHP contactors are safe and comply with industry
standards while offering high power switching capabilities. |
What are the advantages of the RHP
contactors?
- They are the perfect “mercury-free alternative” to replace MDRs
- 40 & 50 Amp versions in an industry standard DP contactor package for easy replacement in existing applications
- Highly reliable and longer operation life than standard EMRs
- DC logic compatible input available
- No heat sink requirement reduces panel space and overall system cost
Typical Applications:
- Electric Heaters
- Food Industry Equipment
- Lighting
