♣ To potentially protect the solid-state contactor from a short-circuit condition, select a semiconductor fuse with an I2T value less than the one indicated below for the SSC.
§ Provides Type 1 protection using a Class J or CC fuse.
∆ Includes an integrated fan in the heat sink assembly. Fan will automatically switch on when necessary (approximately 125 °C internal temp.). DC control Includes overtemperature alarm cutout.
