What are the potential risks in using a solid state relay for a load between 10-20A? I've found HP rated SSR's with a surge current graph that I believes fits the characteristic of the inrush current of an AC or DC motor, but I also read that the peak current of the motor must be half the amperage rating of the SSR. I'd like to know more about how feasible it is to use an SSR for a high load inductive motor along with dangers like contact shorting and melting. I am still considering using a contactor as I feel an EMR may be more applicable.
