Driving high-wattage output with a solid-state relay

October 17, 2017 By Scott Thornton Leave a Comment

solid-state relays

Microcontrollers are designed to handle only low voltage and current signals on their input and outputs.  So how does one control and drive a high wattage load such as an electric heater using an MCU?  One of the easiest and most efficient ways is to use a Solid-State Relay (SSR). An SSR allows you to […]
