SSR Connection with Sensor Wiring
Learn SSR connection with sensor wiring for automatic AC load control, including DC input, AC output, protection, and proper earthing.
ssr wiring diagram for ac load
A sensor-wired SSR diagram illustrates the relationships of the DC signal of a sensor to the SSR, which turns an AC load current in a safe and well-protected manner with earthing.
ssr control circuit with sensor:
A Solid State Relay (SSR) is a type that can be used to automatically switch an AC load with a low-voltage DC control signal. In this configuration, the sensor (temperature, proximity, or pressure) will send the DC signal to the SSRI input terminals. The SSR next changes the load in the AC to its output terminals. The primary AC is passed through protective equipment like a fuse or MCB. Earthing Metallic parts are to be earthinged properly. The wiring circuit will consist of: sensor, sensor control, input, AC load, and AC supply protection earthing. After this wiring, the AC devices are switched safely, reliably, and automatically, overloads and short circuits are prevented, and the SSR as well as the load are not damaged.
Work & Installation (Input → Output,)
- Input Signal: Sensor provides DC voltage to SSR control terminals.
- Protection: AC supply passes through MCB/fuse before SSR load terminals.
- SSR Output: Switches AC load (heater, motor, lamp) automatically.
- Load Connection: AC load connected to SSR output terminals.
- Earthing: Metal parts and load grounded for safety.
- Output: Load switches on/off automatically according to sensor signal.
This will guarantee consistent and automated AC loading.
Testing & Final Adjustments
Check the sensor after wiring that the sensor is able to produce the proper DC signal. Turn on the AC supply using of MCB /fuse. Turn on the sensor and make sure that the SSR works the AC load correctly. Check the connections in terms of tightness, correct polarity, and insulation. Ensure earthing continuity. Test various off/on cycles in order to verify trustworthy SSR functionality. Manage sensor thresholds when necessary. Damage to SSR and load is avoided by proper testing, safe operation is ensured, and automated control. Mark those parts that require easy adjustments. The implementation of this wiring diagram will make the automation of AC devices efficient and safe.
