Dear all,
I am designing PID temperature control using Siemens PLC. In which, I need to control the heating element by means of PWM as the output of the PLC is in PWM, for which I want to use SSR as a switching element to heater. Now, my question is that : if I want to use SSR of appropriate rating for the switching of the heater, do I need to use heat sink along with it and is it mandatory? Right now, I am only having SSR with appropriate rating, nothing like SSR based control unit or whatsoever. Thank you.
Regards,
Ankur Gajjar
