Hello Kirk,
small power applications such as dimmers must switch on the Triac at any 
time of the AC cycle. This produced a high current surge if it is near the 
peak of the sine and thus a lot of EM noise on the cables.
High power appliances such as furnaces etc. turn on at the zero crossing 
monet thus producing less noise; they use packet control instead for power 
regulation. Energy suppliers mostly insist of zero crossing relays for high 
power devices above about 2 kW. This is why there are two different sorts 
of SSR.
Best regards
Peter Blodow
