[Amps] Solid State Relays

[Glenn McNeil <vk4tzl@bigpond.net.au>]

Hi Gang..

Anyone had any experience using the Opto22 series of SSR's in Power Supply 
construction ?
I've got two Opto22 Model 240D10-17 Devices and was thinking about using 
one to control mains supply to a 3kv Power Supply. They supposedly use 
zero crossover switching but I was wondering about their behaviour during 
fault conditions. I will be using G3SEK Boards to control things, and 
ideally drop off the control voltage on the Opto22 during a fault, thereby 
removing the mains supply

Is this a better way then using a beefy relay...and are these things 
reliable ?

Anyone got any experience/exposure to these things ?
