What should be done about surge-absorbing circuits for AC-load Solid-state Relays?

Measures against AC Switching Solid-state Relay Output Noise Surges

1. The Solid-state Relay has a built-in snubber circuit to smooth out a sudden rise in voltage. If there is a large voltage surge in the output-side AC power supply, the snubber circuit will not be sufficient to suppress the surge, and overvoltage will damage the output elements.

2. The following models have a built-in surge-absorbing varistor:
G3NA, G3S, G3PA, G3PB, G3NE, G3J, G3NH, G9H, G3DZ (some models), G3RZ, G3FM

3. Be sure to take measures against surge when switching an inductive load with an Solid-state Relay that does not have a built-in surge-absorbing element. (Refer to the following figure.)

Note: A separate varistor with a surge resistance higher than the built-in varistor must be mounted externally if influence is possible from noise that is not completely absorbed by the built-in varistor (surge resistance: 700 to 1000 A).
