Do you recall the brand label? And more importantly, what was the load device? I had, when I was the CE at WDTV, a studio lighting control with 36 3k watt channels, full of crydom 30 amp SSR's. The studio, since I've retired has better cameras and much of its lighting in now led based except the overheads which are now various types of HO CCFL's. But in my 18 years there I had probably 6 or 7 cd4000 logic chip failures in the control panel, and zero SSR failures. Patch cord burnups, several, but no SSR failures. I came to the conclusion that crydom makes very good stuff. Other brands not so lucky maybe. IDK, this one blown shorted is the first failure I have had of any of this "style" of SSR's. When I have removed it and built the soft start in its place and have it working I may grind this one open and report what I find, if by then my back still feels like messing with it. Since I'll be 3 steps up a ladder doing all that, doubtfull. Thanks Andy & Todd. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
