[Amps] Solid State Relays Again

[Mike]

I tried to use a couple 90 amp SSR relays with heat sinks in a FWD supply
and the #6 welding cable wires jumped an inch off the rack floor when
powering up as the relays went bye-bye thru the step start cycle. Now back
to the trusty 60A mercury contactors...and the EPA can kiss my as$. 

Mike, K4EAR
