Say goodbye to the common issues and expensive maintenance often associated with mechanical relays.

Introducing the revolutionary Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System from Evenheat, a marvel of innovation characterized by its absence of moving parts, ensuring a long-lasting, maintenance-free lifespan. Enjoy the system's exceptional performance, delivering precise and controlled heating that consistently produces outstanding results.

Demystifying Relays: Solid-state relays (SSRs) serve as a robust and reliable alternative to traditional mechanical relays, which rely on moving metal contacts and an electromagnet. SSRs utilize a solid semiconductor block, devoid of any moving components, effectively eliminating physical wear and greatly enhancing temperature control in kilns.

Advantage 1 - Continuous Operation: The durability of SSRs is unparalleled. Free from the wear and electrical sparking typical in mechanical relays, they significantly outlast their traditional counterparts. The familiar clicking sound from a kiln, indicative of mechanical relays at work, ultimately leads to wear and the need for costly repairs. In contrast, Evenheat's SSRs function quietly and dependably, offering longevity that aligns with your kiln or oven.

Advantage 2 - Unrivaled Temperature Accuracy: Mechanical relays have a restricted cycling frequency, balancing between control efficiency and relay lifespan, typically one cycle every 10 to 14 seconds. SSRs, however, operate at an astonishing 120 cycles per second, enabling quicker adjustments and unparalleled temperature precision. All Evenheat controls, including the now-standard Icon controller that replaces the earlier Set-Pro, leverage the rapid cycling of SSRs to achieve unmatched temperature accuracy.

Advantage 3 - Extended Life for Heating Elements: Solid-state relays use Zero Crossing technology, activating and deactivating precisely at the zero-voltage point of AC power fluctuations. This greatly extends the lifespan of heating elements by ensuring they operate at the optimal voltage, thereby reducing wear compared to mechanical relays that lack this feature.

Excellence in Design - 30 Amp Rating: Evenheat selects SSRs with a 30-amp rating but operates them at a conservative 15 amps, providing a substantial margin for consistent, reliable performance. This practice ensures that the SSRs operate comfortably within their derating curve, even under a 15-amp load, encouraging cool operation and extended life, a testament to Evenheat's commitment to excellence.

Excellence in Design - Externally Mounted SSR Heatsinks: Proper cooling is vital for the longevity of SSRs. Evenheat addresses this by externally mounting the SSR heatsinks, enhancing airflow and preventing heat build-up within the control enclosure. This setup avoids heat transfer between the control enclosure and the SSRs, supported by standoffs that create an air gap for cooling. This deliberate design ensures the optimal functioning of the SSRs, underscored by an impressive six-year record of zero failures.
